Hosted by: Silicon Valley Entrepreneurs (SVE) & Physical AI Builders (PAB)
Silicon Valley AI Hub — Silicon Valley April 29
UT Dallas - DFW June 11, 2026
For over a decade, Startup Showcase (SVE Demo) has been the launchpad for Silicon Valley's most resilient founders. This year, we're not just running a showcase — we're upgrading the entire experience.The SVE Demo: Special Edition brings our signature early-stage energy directly onto the floor of the F50 Physical AI Summit — one of the most capital-dense gatherings in deep tech. While the main summit tracks explore growth-stage scaling and industrial AI policy, the Special Edition is where the next generation of Robot Brains and Hardware-Agnostic Intelligence makes its debut.You won't be in a side room. You'll be in the room.
Space is limited to 6–8 carefully selected startups. To qualify, your company must:
✅ Have at least one existing angel or VC investor
✅ Be beyond the prototype stage
✅ Be manufactured or headquartered in North America
✅ Be raising at Pre-Seed through Series A
This standard exists because our investors expect signal, not noise — and our founders deserve a room that's ready for them.
This is a rare cross-section for early-stage founders. You aren't pitching to a cordoned-off "startup track." You're standing in front of the same elite investor pool attending the F50 Growth Program.
