Brunching with Visionaries: Inside Kuse’s Silicon Valley Gathering
Kuse hosted our first Silicon Valley social brunch, uniting founders, investors, and creators to share ideas, explore AI innovation, and spark real connections.
On July 13, we hosted our very first in-person social brunch in Silicon Valley: a warm, high-energy gathering that brought together founders, investors, creators, and top tech veterans for a morning of ideas, storytelling, and serendipitous connections.
The event brought together some of the most forward-thinking founders and leaders shaping the global Al and innovation landscape. It became a vibrant stage of ideas and collaboration, reflecting the creative and cross-disciplinary power of the Al era. Notable guests included Siqi Chen, founder of Runway; Xiaoyin Qu, founder of Heyboss (invested by OpenAl); Adam Raudonis from Tesla; Jisong Liu, founder of Befreed; and Lynn Duan, leader of the Al+ Community.
Also joining were Keith (founder of AgentQL, raised $50M), Adam Silverman (founder of Agen), Karan (founder of Composio, raised $30M), Robert Yang (founder of Fundamental Research, invested by a16z), Enoch Zhu (founder of Orbifold.ai), and Shuying (co-founder of Fundamental). Industry voices such as Robert Scoble (tech KOL with 534k followers), and Rachel Lu from Z Potentials, also contributed their insights.
Our Head of GTM, Xiaoning Lyu, kicked things off with a short introduction to what Kuse is building: not just another AI tool, but a living workspace where “chaos in, genius out” isn’t a slogan, it’s how things actually get done.
With Xiaoning’s live Kuse walkthrough, featuring real examples of how teams around the world are already using the platform, from classrooms in Padova to startups across Hong Kong and Europe.
Once the presentation wrapped, the brunch shifted naturally into open conversation. Founders shared what it means to ship in an AI-first world; investors discussed product-market timing and differentiation; and creators exchanged tips on building loyal communities.
It wasn’t a keynote. It was kinetic energy: ideas bouncing off coffee cups and notebooks.
This brunch was more than a meetup; it was a microcosm of what Kuse stands for. In a time when digital products dominate how we think, Kuse creates bridges - not walls - between online creativity and real-world connection.
It reminded us that while our workspace lives in the cloud, our community thrives in person. Ideas grow faster when they’re shared, challenged, and celebrated face to face. As conversations continued long past the last pour of coffee, one truth became clear: Kuse isn’t just building an AI workspace: it’s building an ecosystem of thinkers and makers.
To everyone who joined - founders, educators, creators, and friends - thank you for bringing your voices to our table. Here’s to more mornings like this one, where creativity flows as easily as conversation.
