Founders Learn AI Model Building from Google DeepMind, Cohere, Twelve Labs at TechCrunch AI

The landscape of AI is evolving at breakneck speed, with new, groundbreaking models popping up left and right. For founders looking to ride this wave, positioning yourself strategically is key. That's why we're excited to dive into this topic at TechCrunch Sessions: AI, set for June 5, 2025, at Zellerbach Hall, UC Berkeley. Our panel, "How Founders Can Build on Existing Foundational Models," is your go-to guide for navigating the AI startup scene.

We've got some heavy hitters joining us: experts from Google DeepMind, Cohere, and Twelve Labs. These folks are shaping the future of AI, and they're here to share their insights on what's next, how AI models are getting better, and where you, as a founder, should focus your efforts. If you're keen on growing alongside these AI pioneers without getting left in the dust, this panel's for you.

Let's meet our speakers:

First up, we have Logan Kilpatrick, a senior product manager at Google DeepMind. He's all about helping developers leverage Google Gemini, one of the top dogs in AI models. Before this, Kilpatrick was leading developer relations at OpenAI, so he knows a thing or two about building on AI tech.

Next, we've got Sara Hooker, the VP of Research at Cohere. She's diving deep into how enterprises are using AI foundation models, and with her background at Google and being named one of Time's 100 most influential people in AI in 2024, she's got some serious insights to share.

Last but not least, Jae Lee, the founder and CEO of Twelve Labs, will be joining us. They're working on AI models that can sift through videos and find exactly what you're looking for, just by asking in plain English. With big names like Nvidia, Samsung, and Intel backing them, they're definitely onto something big.
