I held the press on this to await details for our April build sprint and demo night. We’re still shaping this up, but checkout below to help us shape it.
And what a wonderful week it was.
We had some great discussion on the Future of Work crowded into my flat on Monday. Coworking with the Unicorn Mafia on Tuesday. On Wednesday, Unruly Capital hosted a seminar on “New Sovereigns” attempting to navigate shifting power in our uncertain world. Thursday we had a splendid dinner on “Unlocking the Brain”. Friday closed out with a fascinating debate on Whole Brain emulation, where I embarrassed myself giving a floor speech.
So much energy and some great event formats.
April will be all about deploying agents and hardware. We’re kicking things off with a two week build sprint, culminating in an Agents in the Wild demo night with the Unicorn Mafia. Then we’re hosting a dinner for hardware innovators with Lightbringer.

We are hosting a series of curated +1 dinners across the different verticals of our community to create a space to share expertise from the frontiers of technology.

Our Events:
Agents in the Wild
In the wild you can’t wait for decisions from a command centre. You have to interpret the world around you and act. Those pushing the frontier aren’t operating with safety nets, they’re testing systems in prod.
The scope is broad. One constraint: the human is not available.
We’re hosting a demo night with the Unicorn Mafia on 16th April. Applications to join the build sprint for a chance to demo and win the prize pool are open.
