Pitch Playoffs: Physical AI

We're bringing together 10 early-stage startups across physical AI. Every attendee gets 3 voting tokens at check-in to "invest" in their favorite products during the booth showcase. Walk the room, meet founders, try products, and drop your tokens where you see the most potential. At the end of the showcase, we'll tally the votes. The top 3 startups earn a spot on stage for a Shark Tank–style pitch in front of a investor panel, with live feedback and a room full of builders watching. Who this is for: • Founders & startups looking for users, signal, and investor attention • Investors & angels looking for curated, pre-filtered dealflow • Operators, engineers, and tech folks who want to see what's being built next in SF
