Our upcoming Startup Grind San Jose fireside chat is hosting Howard Wright, who leads NVIDIA Inception, the company’s global program supporting more than 19,000 startups building across AI and accelerated computing.

Howard has spent more than 25 years building technology partnerships and startup ecosystems. Before NVIDIA, he served as Vice President and Global Head of Startups at AWS, helping the business reach major revenue milestones on its path to a $100 billion annual run rate. He also led immersive-video company C360 Technologies as CEO and held partnership roles at Intel Capital and Qualcomm.

We will explore what Howard is seeing from thousands of AI startups around the world, how founders can build meaningful relationships with companies such as NVIDIA, and what separates startups that successfully turn access to technology, expertise, and partnerships into lasting businesses.

Founders will leave with practical insights into NVIDIA Inception, the evolving generative AI ecosystem, and how to position their companies for the next phase of the AI revolution.

Join us on Wednesday, November 11, at CreaTV San Jose from 5:30 to 8:00 p.m. Food and drinks will be served. Seats are limited, so book yours now.

The event is supported by Jumpstart Immigration.
