BLOOM · AI-NATIVE COMMUNITY ↗

Small dinners for people
who work and build with AI

We read every application and seat four to six people who will actually have things to talk about. Dinner, and conversation that gets somewhere.

Who has been at the table

Big companies and startups, solo founders and freelancers, engineers and non-engineers — evenly mixed at every table.

Developers Founders Solo builders PMs & planners Designers Marketers HR & recruiting Data Finance & investing Law · tax · patents Healthcare Education Commerce Content & media Security Researchers & grad students

Nine out of ten who left a review said they met someone they'd want to see again.

Application answers are used only for seating and never published as written. The interests above are themes we rewrote from patterns across many applications.

Interests that kept showing up on applications
  • Getting the automation you built to stick with your team, not just yourself
  • The fatigue of verifying and judging everything AI produces
  • Actually attaching AI to slow-to-adopt domains like healthcare, law, tax and finance
  • The trial and error of building and selling a product alone or with a tiny team
  • How work changes when non-engineers start shipping code
  • Where your craft and career go in the AI era
