We help founders explore & build new companies in Physical AI through a powerful network, hardware lab & funding.
SILICON VALLEY IS IN A CRISIS. our best minds are being wasted on marginal AI wrappers & safe bets. so we built an epic summit for the bold ones choosing good quests. over 1,500 applied. we handpicked the top 250 to attend. this is Choose Good Quests 2025 by @join_savant 🔥
Announcing: The Embodied Metal Hackathon! Happening Jul 17-19 in San Francisco's Mission. Three days in a factory loft with real robots, hacking to make them do something wild. We're packing the floor with the best founders, developers, and mad scientists across Embodied AI. If you'd rather make your AI *do* things – in the real world! – instead of just write about them, this event is for you. Hosts and sponsors: @MissionRobotBay, @savant_vc, @newtheoryai, and @NorthstarRobots, with compute from @modal. Space very limited, so apply early: luma.com/embodied-metal
@savant_vc is co-hosting a robotics hackathon! announcing: the embodied metal hackathon! hosted by mission robotics and savant, with compute from modal. happening Jul 17-19 in san francisco's mission. founders & builders, show us what you can build over a weekend! hardware will be provided! link below👇️

[Almost at capacity for Choose Good Quests next Tuesday in SF] Most of the world’s GDP: manufacturing, logistics, energy, defense, construction, transportation, agriculture, is still fundamentally physical. Physical AI is entering a new era, and the opportunity surface is much larger than most people realize. We at @join_savant are hosting 2 iconic deep tech investors, @bznotes & @KanuGulati on where the biggest opportunities in Physical AI are emerging. They’ll share what they’re seeing from the investor seat: where the biggest opportunities are, what makes a strong founding team, how founders should think about wedge, market timing, defensibility, and what kinds of Physical AI companies they’d be excited to fund. Come with sharp questions. Link below.
May 12th in SF, Where the Opportunity Sits in Physical AI by @join_savant For our next Choose Good Quests session, we are hosting @bznotes ,managing partner at @redglassvc and @KanuGulati, partner at @khoslaventures to share about opportunities in physical AI. Physical AI is moving fast — but for founders, the map is still being drawn. Bilal and Kanu have backed some of the most ambitious companies across AI, robotics and autonomy. They’ll share what they’re seeing from the investor seat: where the biggest opportunities are, what makes a strong founding team, how founders should think about wedge, market timing, defensibility, and what kinds of Physical AI companies they’d be excited to fund. Come join us. Link in the thread 🧵
