Foundr Flow
16 October 2026 | Bengaluru
Deep Tech & AI Startups Meetup is a curated deep tech and AI startup ecosystem gathering bringing together founders, operators, researchers, mentors, technology leaders, and ecosystem enablers under one roof.
Built around the idea that breakthrough technologies need the right people, capital, knowledge, and industry access to move from innovation to real-world impact, this meetup will create a focused space for conversations around Artificial Intelligence, Deep Tech, emerging technologies, research-led innovation, and the future of technology-driven businesses.
Rather than focusing on large crowds, the meetup focuses on quality people, relevant conversations, and meaningful opportunities that can continue beyond the event.

The Bengaluru edition will also serve as a starting point for broader conversations across India's startup ecosystem, connecting Deep Tech and AI innovators with the wider network of institutions, corporations, researchers, and ecosystem partners.
Because breakthrough technology needs more than innovation. It needs people, partnerships, capital, and execution.
