Mass AI Showcase: Founders X Enterprise

The Mass AI Showcase, hosted by SVB and The Massachusetts AI Coalition, in partnership with the Massachusetts Business Roundtable, will connect emerging AI companies with enterprise leaders seeking real-world AI solutions. The event will bring together a select group of high-potential AI company founders, technology executives, innovation leaders, and other influential members of the Massachusetts ecosystem for an afternoon of curated introductions and business-focused conversations.
While a small number of featured companies will provide brief presentations to showcase innovative AI solutions already gaining traction in the market, the centerpiece of the event is a structured, speed-dating style networking program. Through a series of curated one-on-one meetings, startups will connect directly with enterprise decision-makers exploring AI adoption across their organizations. The format is designed to facilitate efficient, high-value conversations that can lead to customer engagements, pilot programs, strategic partnerships, and investment opportunities. By intentionally bringing together founders, enterprise leaders, and investors, the event aims to support the growth, commercialization, and scaling of AI companies across Massachusetts.
