Tech Talks | AI Leaders — Austin Tech Week

State of AI and VC, during Austin Tech Week

Silverton and Entre present this Austin Tech Week edition of their Tech Talks | AI Leaders series, convening a curated group of Austin founders, investors, and operators. The framing is that AI capabilities are compounding faster than any prior software wave and are reshaping how companies get built, funded, and defended — with the discussion focused on what is genuinely working and what is being left behind. Co-hosts include PayPal, AITX, Stelvio, Kastner Gravelle, and Antler.

The published agenda: arrival, check-in, drinks and light bites from 6:00 p.m.; welcome remarks at 6:30; a State of AI & VC talk by Kip McClanahan of Silverton at 6:45; a fireside conversation with an AI-native company CEO from 7:00; and open networking and cocktails from 7:45.

This is a distinct occurrence from the August edition of the same series. Venue note: the exact address is released to registered guests only — the public listing shows just "Austin, TX," though the description references a downtown host location. Register to receive the location.
