Summer Vacation – Maybe? Later!

Long time, no see!
I hope you've been having an amazing summer.
A quick personal update: I've recently joined OpenRouter to lead our Events Strategy, and I couldn't be more excited. OpenRouter is an AI model exchange with built-in intelligence that routes every request to the best model based on capability, cost, latency, and reliability.
If you're building in AI—or simply want to chat about models, startups, partnerships, or events—I'd love to connect.
Of course, I couldn't let June go by without another Women Tech Meetup.
We've got an incredible lineup of founders, builders, and events coming up, and I can't wait to see many of you there.
Ready?
San Francisco, June 30th, 5:30 PM - 8:30 PM
Great companies aren't built because someone gives you permission.
They're built because founders decide to start before they feel ready, apply before they feel qualified, and keep going when nobody is paying attention.
Join Women Tech Meetup for an honest conversation with female founders from the latest (P26) and previous YC batches about building venture-backed companies, breaking into the world's top startup accelerator, raising capital, finding co-founders, and creating opportunities when the path isn't always obvious.
We couldn't think of a better location for this than taking over the entire Corgi Office—one of the hottest startup spots these days!
Speakers
Ishita Jindal, Co-Founder, MemoryStore (YC P26)
Claire Nord, Co-Founder, Napkin Math (YC P26)
Shipra Jha, Co-Founder, Corelayer (YC W26)
Peggy Wang, Founder & CEO, Digipals (YC F25), ex-Co-founder & CTO @Ego (YC W24)
DRESS CODE: Startup Founder 😄
Calling all female engineers, builders, startup founders, CTOs, and women shaping the future of tech!
San Francisco, June 29th, 7:00 PM - 10:00 PM
The BIGGEST builder after party around AI Engineer Fair is coming to San Francisco.
Hosted at Notion HQ with Composio, Notion, OpenRouter, Modal, Braintrust, Parallel Web Systems, Cursor THE AI Engineer After Party brings together 300 AI builders, founders, researchers, and operators for a high-energy night after the main event.
We’re taking over Notion’s lounge and café space for a premium happy hour experience with DJs, bartenders, drinks, light bites, and the most exciting AI builder crowd in town.
This is not another conference happy hour.
This is where the AI builder stack comes together after dark — models, compute, evals, agents, web systems, workspace, and the people building what comes next.
Come for the conversations. Stay for the energy. Leave with the room everyone will be talking about.

When we recorded this interview, Corgi had just emerged from stealth after raising $108M to reinvent insurance for startups.
Just weeks later, the company reached a $2.6B valuation, announcing a $106M Series B1 only three weeks after its $160M unicorn round.
From the moment Emily and Nico started talking about their vision, it was clear they were building something special.
Thrilled to see this incredible momentum!
Yes, already!
