1943

Our mission is to bring together AI/ML researchers, industry experts, and founders to share insights and provide resources—whether through capital or talent—to help turn cutting-edge research into startups and strengthen collaboration between academia and industry. We believe AI researchers are driving the future of innovation. As more researchers successfully transition into founders, we created a community to support them along this path. The name "1943" honors the year Warren McCulloch and Walter Pitts introduced the first neural network model, laying the foundation for modern AI. We’re committed to fostering collaboration and providing the resources needed to turn AI breakthroughs into real-world applications.
