The last two weeks have been packed in the best way possible. Between conferences, workshops, and classes, I’ve been learning from people who are not only shaping AI but also rethinking how we build, communicate, and grow through it. Colorado Startup Week: AI Builders Meetup One of my favorite events recently was Colorado Startup Week’s AI Builders meetup , where the local AI community, now over 2,500 strong, came together to share demos, ideas, and lessons learned. We heard from founders and engineers like Matt Holden (Capset Labs) and Paige Bailey (Google DeepMind), each bringing a different lens to how AI is being applied across industries. From building AI research assistants to redefining multi-agent systems, the conversations were equal parts ambitious and practical. It was energizing to see how tight-knit and curious the Colorado tech scene is. It is definitely a reminder that Boulder and Denver are quietly becoming serious AI hubs.

These two weeks have been steady but eventful: balancing classes, career events, and learning more about some really interesting startups. Startups2Students One of the highlights was getting to learn about startups that are applying AI in surprising ways: 4 Ever Oceans is building a global community for ocean enthusiasts. They’re not only sharing ocean photography, but also using AI for marine life identification and creating tools for education, research, and even a marketplace. I liked how approachable it felt: you don’t need to be a scientist to contribute, and yet it still supports real research. Zooly Labs stood out with its bold idea: replacing $2M surgical robots with $750 smart sensors. Their combination of AI, sensors, and real-time algorithms aims to make surgeries more efficient and affordable. It felt ambitious, but also practical in a way that could have real impact in healthcare.               Faex Health takes a completely different a...
