BIG NEWS FOR AI FOUNDERS

Hi Andy, 

 

World Summit AI, the world’s leading AI summit series, has teamed up with Pathfounders, the new tech startup media brand launched by former TechCrunch Editor Mike Butcher, to host the new VC & Startup-focused "Pathfounders Stage: Code, Capital & Consequences.”

The stage will spotlight the next generation of AI-native startups and the global investors backing the future of intelligence.

 

Founder and CEO of InspiredMinds!, Sarah Porter, added:

“Mike is one of the most trusted voices in tech media and venture capital circles. Together, we’re creating a space that not only celebrates emerging talent but helps founders connect with the capital and mentorship they need to scale responsibly.”

One of the most influential voices in Europe’s startup and venture ecosystem

“The energy around AI entrepreneurship has never been greater, but, for founders, nothing beats in-person facetime with investors at properly curated events. The Pathfounders Stage aims to deliver on that promise,” said Mike Butcher. “This partnership with World Summit AI gives us a unique chance to put the most crucial conversations about entrepreneurship in the age of AI front and centre.”

Pathfounders Battleground: Startup competition

A hand selected judging panel of top tier global VCs, with Mike Butcher at the helm as the panel chair, will hear pitches from 5 cutting edge startups in quick fire pitches on day one of the event. 

 

The final two chosen startups will battle it out on the mainstage to be crowned the “Pathfounder to watch” Startup competition winner 2026.
