Built on Baseten | AI Demo Night
This event is over, it happened on
August 4, 2026 at San Francisco in San Francisco, CA
The most interesting AI startups are owning their models, controlling their inference, and shipping fast - and most people don't know it yet.
“Built on Baseten” is a quarterly showcase where early-stage founders building on Baseten get on a stage and share what they built.
Founders from:
Trajectory (Arjun Karanam)
Subconscious (Jack O'Brien)
Antigen (Saad Jamal)
Kaizen (Kenneth Acquah)
Will be sharing their technical stories- why they chose to own their models, how they built their inference stack, and the challenges behind it. If you're an engineer, technical founder, or builder thinking about inference - this is the room to be in.
Space is limited.

San Francisco as a “venue” usually means the event could be in a private dining room, a historic building, or a coworking or gallery-style space somewhere in the city. Tech and founder dinners like the Junto series often use private clubs or reservation-only restaurants, with multi-course meals at shared tables and a set program. Larger mixers such as SF Climate Week happy hours tend to be in central locations with structured check-in, name badges, sponsor signage, and access to nearby paid parking garages, especially around corridors like Van Ness and downtown. more...
