Founders & Funders Deep Dive | Seattle AI Week Kickoff

Kick off Seattle AI Week with the coldest networking event on the calendar. 🫧 Five days of conference rooms begin Monday. On Sunday morning, AI founders, investors, healthcare AI leaders, and technology operators are heading to Alki instead. No pitches. No panels. No slide decks. Just a dive, post-dive food and drinks, and good conversations. Two ways to join Divers: Buddy up and dive at Alki Junkyard in West Seattle, home to sea pens, tiny critters, and the occasional octopus. Non-divers: Meet us on the beach for the post-dive hang and snacks. That's where most of the conversation happens. For divers Open Water certification or higher (confirmed at registration) This is a buddy dive, not a guided tour. You should be comfortable planning and diving a local shore site with your buddy. Water temperature will be around 48–52°F, so come prepared. Bring your own gear, or arrange a rental in advance. Adam can help facilitate this. Schedule 9:00 AM: Divers arrive, buddy up, gear up 9:45 AM: Splash! 10:30 AM: Non-divers arrive. Hot drinks, snacks, and stories with the divers. 11:45 AM: Splash! 12:30 PM: Divers out. Hot cider, cocoa, and conversation for everyone. ~2:00 PM: Wrap, with plenty of time to get home to watch the Seahawks smoke the Chiefs If weather or water conditions don't cooperate, we'll move to Sunday, Nov. 1. Come build a bigger pod. 🤿 Hosted by Adam Peddicord, founder of Customer Success by Design. Army combat medic, healthcare AI innovator, and PADI Divemaster.
