Building the bridge between AI innovation and business excellence in the Pacific Northwest.
A student-led community at the University of Washington connecting ambitious builders with Seattle founders, investors, operators, engineers, and academic leaders.
From informal meetups to Seattle's AI + business room.
Other clubs were already running workshops. We asked a different question: what if students could actually talk to the people building AI at Microsoft, investing in AI at Madrona, and shipping AI products at Uber? Seattle AI × Business was built to make those connections real.
In a city that's home to tech giants and innovative startups alike, we saw an opportunity to bridge the gap between cutting-edge AI research and real-world business applications. What started as a simple idea has grown into Seattle's most connected AI and business community for students.
Make the frontier useful, social, and career-changing.
We believe that the future of business is inseparable from AI. Our mission is to:
- Foster meaningful connections between AI practitioners and business leaders
- Share knowledge through events and workshops
- Build a supportive community that accelerates careers and ventures
