San Diego AI Showcase (North County)
A Homebrew-style night for AI experiments and demos. Safe space. No recordings! Just sharing and learning.

​This is a monthly, in-person gathering for San Diego founders who are actively building with AI, and who are willing to show their work before it’s perfect.

​Inspired by the original Homebrew Computer Club, where builders like Steve Wozniak casually shared what they were experimenting with, this is a space for real demos, early prototypes, bold ideas, and honest lessons. No polished pitch decks. No sales. No pressure.

​This is about learning in public, helping each other think sharper, and accelerating progress through thoughtful feedback.

​The San Diego AI Showcase is designed to grow a tight, curious, builder-driven founder community in the region.

What you’ll see

• ​Early AI products, tools, agents, workflows, and experiments

• ​Things that are half-working, just launched, or still a little rough

​• Lessons from what didn’t work (often the most valuable part)

​• Live demos, screen shares, short walkthroughs

​Format

• ​5–10 founders present for ~10 minutes each

​• 3-minute Q&A and group discussion after every presentation

​• Hang out, meet other builders, and keep the conversation going

​Who this is for

​• Founders actively building with AI (pre-seed to growth)

​• Engineers, designers, and product leaders experimenting hands-on

​• People who value curiosity, humility, and substance over hype

​What this is not

• ​Not a pitch night

​• Not an investor demo day

​• Not a sales event

​Just builders helping builders.
