Real energy. Real connections. That’s what we saw at San Francisco Tech Week. Face-to-face convos, VC proximity, and hot sectors like AI, Crypto, and FinTech are shaping what’s next.

Day 2 AI Summit Updates : Reached my (@bolna_dev) booth🥳
The sheer number of attendees here make SFTechWeek and TechCrunch seem tiny. Event running seamlessly given the scale.
Also, PSA : no issues in bringing laptops etc. don’t believe everything you read online 😂
A little late for the shoutout, but #SFTechWeek had some of the best events I've ever been to.
Kudos to @a16z for leading the charge, and to everyone who poured so much thought into every single event. I could feel the intention and effort behind it all.
In San Francisco, ideas don’t stay dreams, they become startups and movements. From café brainstorms to SF Tech Week energy, this city turns “what if” into “what’s next.”

We opened Chef's HQ to the tech community during SF Tech Week 2025, and it was awesome!
Over 100 people joined us for an evening of live robot demos, networking, and a Q&A with our team. Watching the robots pull mashed potatoes one minute and peas the next sparked great conversations.
High-mix meal assembly is one of automation's toughest challenges - every ingredient behaves differently, and production lines need to adapt constantly. Chef is one of the few companies solving this at scale, with customers seeing 2-3x increases in output and significant labor savings. We believe transparency is essential to advancing Physical AI, so we loved showing the community what AI-enabled robotics actually looks like in action.
Thanks to everyone who came through; the energy and questions were incredible!
