We were grateful to join @ForerunnerVC and our fellow co-hosts in bringing together a standout group of early-stage consumer AI builders at #HumansInTheLoop. It was a powerful reminder that collective success grows from an inclusive community—where founders, investors, and entrepreneurs come together to exchange ideas. We’ve seen it before in Web 2.0 and mobile, and we’re seeing it again in AI. We were especially proud to see three True portfolio companies on stage: Julie Bornstein of Daydream, Nicholas Thorne of Audos, and @JustinMezzell of @Digg—part of a group of 20 forward-thinking leaders shaping the future of consumer AI. Each offered a unique and inspiring perspective on what’s possible.
