Organized by The Room Podcast, Inside Summit brought together an intimate group of movers & shakers to discuss all things building, scaling, and investing in technology.
Attendees include early-to-mid stage founders, investors, and operators. Now in its second year, past guests included founders, CEOs, and partners from companies like Vanta, Zillow, Cloudflare, and LaunchDarkly, Google Ventures, and more.
Recapping a few standout moments from our time on-site:
Michael Tricot, Founder & CEO of Airbyte, took the audience through his journey as a founder and the challenges and opportunities he faced in terms of building, scaling, and fundraising during his opening keynote.
Grant Lee, Founder & CEO of Gamma, spoke on a panel with OpenAI, Vercel, and Chris Messina, creator of the hashtag.
Rebecca Lynn, Co-Founder & Managing Director at Canvas Prime and five-time Forbes Midas List honoree, covered what founders need to know about creating their first board.
Julie Bornstein, Founder & CEO at Daydream, closed out the event with a much anticipated keynote.
Beyond the official programming, the networking and side conversations happening at these types of events also add value to the overall experience - whether it’s a quick chat with a VC in the coffee line or participating in the audience Q&A at the end of each session with a well-prepared question.
I also loved the cute swag bag - it’s giving Trader Joe’s tote (in the best way)!
One standout element came after the event: Inside Summit coincided with the opening of the Laver Cup at Chase Center, so instead of a standard speaker dinner, organizers hosted speakers and guests in a VIP box to network while watching world-class tennis. They even hosted a giveaway for one lucky attendee to snag a spot.

HumanX brought together thousands of executives, founders, investors, and technologists all trying to figure out the same question: where does AI go from here—and who's steering it? Over the course of the event, that question played out across keynotes, panels, interactive sessions, and “water cooler” conversations that we walked away from with a new perspective.
For us, being on the ground wasn't just about presence. It was about paying attention. Let’s dive in!
