Founded and hosted by FirstMark’s Amish Jani and Battery Ventures’ Neeraj Agrawal, this year’s AI✦NY, brought together 150+ CEOs for an off-the-record summit focused on how companies, customers, and markets are being reshaped by AI.

AI*NY marks the next chapter of what began as CloudNY — a gathering built around the defining enterprise platform shift of the last decade, which featured folks like Tobi Lutke of Shopify, Dharmesh Shah of HubSpot, Matthew Prince of Cloudflare, Eynat Guez of Papaya Global, Eric Glyman of Ramp, and countless more iconic CEOs. As AI becomes the next major force transforming software, infrastructure, go-to-market, and the enterprise, our summit has evolved with it.

The format stayed the same: candid conversations, no press, and a room full of CEOs speaking openly about building AI-native companies, how enterprise buyers are adopting and governing AI, how GTM is changing, and what founders need to understand about capital markets, M&A, and category creation in this new cycle.

Thank you to everyone who joined us for the first AI✦NY, and to our partners, without whom this event would not have been possible: Fifth Third, Golub Growth, KPMG, Cooley, Google Cloud, and Qatalyst. 

CloudNY helped CEOs navigate the cloud era. AI✦NY will do the same for the AI era, and we’re already looking forward to next year.
