About this session

Twenty AI startup founders take the floor at Moscone West for a science fair-style demo gauntlet (10:45 AM–1 PM), where judges and attendees circulate freely and ask the tough questions. Three finalists earn a spot on the main stage at 5:25 PM to pitch live in front of our full audience — and walk away with a share of $100,000 in prizes ($50K / $30K / $20K), awarded by Howie Liu and the Hyperagent team!

Builders come from across the AI application stack — from agentic workflows and AI sports tech to social tools and data infrastructure — all competing for the judges' vote and your vote for People's Choice!

Don't miss Howie Liu on stage at 5:10 PM, followed immediately by the finals and the winner announcement. 🏆
