A newsletter for The AI Furnace Community

The AI Furnace is a global community of 12,000+ AI founders, operators and researchers. It was started by Angela Mascarenas and Hamza Zaveri, AI founders from NYC and London who started the org to support fellow AI founders and operators building in local cities outside of Cerebral Valley (San Francisco).

Introducing Furnace Education 🎉

Due to popular demand, The AI Furnace is starting weekly interactive classes taught by AI Founders for topics the community is interested in discussing and learning about, around all things AI and startups. Each session will run for 1 hour on Zoom and will be sourced by the community.

We’ll be discussing and sharing best practices on "How to Source the Right Co-founder for Your AI Startup".
