About us
AI for Entrepreneurs and Business Leaders
A Phoenix community for founders, executives, and operators who want to actually use AI in their work, not just read about it.
We meet in person on the 3rd Thursday of every month at Venture Café Phoenix in downtown Phoenix. Free parking, two free drinks. We also run online sessions for folks outside the metro.
Sponsored by Serpico AI Learning Center (AILC) and Venture Café Phoenix.
Serpico AI Learning Center is Phoenix's practitioner-led AI training hub. Curriculum that updates within 72 hours of major AI releases, taught by business professionals who use these tools every day.
Venture Café Phoenix is the city's weekly gathering place for innovators, entrepreneurs, and the people who support them. Free, open to all, every Thursday in downtown Phoenix.
What this group is for:
- Real conversations about how AI is changing the way businesses operate
- Hands-on demos and workshops with current tools like ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, and whatever drops next week
- Speakers who actually use AI every day in their busiensses, not just talk about it
- Connections with founders, operators, and AI practitioners across the Valley
- Honest discussion of the ethical, economic, and practical tradeoffs of AI adoption
Want to speak, suggest a topic, host a session, or co-promote an event? Reach out. We're always looking for good content and good people.
Join us. Let's figure this out together.
