Automate conferences to meet qualified sales leads

What is your company going to make? Please describe your product and what it does or will do.

We build Venu AI, a platform that automates the entire conference production process so companies can host events that attract and connect them with 100 qualified sales leads every three months. Instead of spending months organizing and manually vetting leads, our system handles production and qualification, so sales teams meet the right people face-to-face with minimal effort.

Where do you live now, and where would the company be based after YC?

We live in San Jose, CA with a remote team. After YC, we plan to keep the company based in San Jose to stay close to hardware and AI talent and the Bay Area market.

Explain your decision regarding location.

San Jose is where we have our core team and access to the technical ecosystem we rely on. Being in Silicon Valley helps us recruit and engage with customers actively conducting conferences, which suits our product focus.
