Abstract x SignalFire Women in AI Event

It was such a joy hosting a table of exceptional women founders in NYC.  Stories about first checks, recent exits or tinkering with new ideas with zero posturing, tons of laughter, and wildly sharp conversations. A few hot takes that stood out to us from this lunch:

1. The best builders are never one-dimensional. The amazing AI founders in the room were just as curious about travel, perfume, astrology, and art.
   
   
2. We need fewer networking events and more curated playdates. Some of the strongest connections came from not talking about work at all.
   
   
3. Be a super-connector on purpose. You never know which small moment or intro will spark something big.
