Bay Area AI is having a week. 👀

With Step SF landing August 26-27, the days around it are packed with opportunities to build, learn, exchange ideas, and meet the people shaping what’s next.

A few events on our radar:

ClawCamp Campfire - Aug. 24
A community gathering bringing AI builders and enthusiasts together ahead of Step SF.

Train Custom Models w/ Fireworks & LangChain + SF Happy Hour - Aug. 25
A hands-on session exploring custom AI models and tooling, followed by a chance to connect over happy hour.

Big shoutout to the communities making it happen: ClawCamp, Fireworks AI, LangChain, Step, Bright Data, WeMakeDevs, TrueFoundry, and Qodo.

Save this for next week, send it to your friend, and tell us what we should have on our radar next.

This week at Werqwise 465 California, we hosted an expert panel exploring the forces shaping AI mergers and acquisitions in 2026.

Moderated by our Co Founder and COO, Naveen Khugputh, the conversation explored what drives valuation premiums in early stage AI companies, from proven enterprise ROI and proprietary data to defensible technology and sustainable competitive advantage. The discussion then examined how AI acquisitions are being structured today, including the advantages and disadvantages of acquihires, earn outs, and other deal structures, as well as the key areas of due diligence that founders should be prepared for.

A special thank-you to Lindsey Mignano of Mignano Law Group for helping bring this timely conversation to life, along with panelists Keith Davidson and Stephen Estes of CLA, Phil Omorogbe of Mignano Law Group, Kevin Dowd of Carta, and Shawn Flynn of SVH Capital for sharing their expertise.

Thank you as well to everyone who joined us. We’re proud to create space for conversations that help founders, investors, and business leaders better understand what’s ahead.

La Dolce Vita, Werqwise style. ☀️ 🍋

A huge thank you to everyone who joined us for our annual Summer Solstice Party at Werqwise San Mateo. From Italian-inspired bites and wine to great conversations, familiar faces, new connections, and plenty of rooftop energy, it was such a special way to welcome summer with our community.

We’re grateful to our members, partners, neighbors, friends, and guests who came together to make the evening feel so warm, lively, and full of connection.

Here’s to good company, golden-hour gatherings, and many more summer moments ahead.

Last week we had a fantastic time hosting the Scottish Development International Trivia Night at Werqwise with their MarketBooster companies including Halo, Neuranics, Fanbase , and Antaia. We're proud to partner with the MarketBooster program to help selected Scottish science and tech companies enter and scale in the US market, as well as immerse themselves in Silicon Valley with local support and connections. We're excited to be sitting in the front seat and watch their growth these next weeks!

Since opening in 2018, 149 has been home to thousands of members and the backdrop to so many defining moments. Panels, pitch nights, conferences, startup cohorts, celebrations, and the countless conversations that turned into real ideas, partnerships, and friendships.

Companies were started here. Co-founders met. Capital was raised. Businesses scaled and exits achieved. People built careers, found their community, made lifelong friends and, in some cases, even fell in love.

To every member, partner, community supporter, and broker who made 149 what it became, thank you. You brought the space to life.

While this is a bittersweet moment, we’re incredibly excited for what’s ahead. Our two new FiDi locations at 465 California and 235 Pine will be open for tours and day passes starting Monday, April 6th.

Stay tuned. Photos and a first look at the new spaces are coming very soon!

MarketBooster is coming back to Werqwise for year two! 🚀

In early March, Scottish Development International and Scottish Enterprise will bring the 2026 US MarketBooster cohort to the Bay Area for an on-the-ground Silicon Valley immersion - connecting ambitious Scottish science + tech founders with the mentors, networks, and market insight they need to enter and scale in the US.

This year’s cohort spans GovTech, MobilityTech, quantum sensing, ESG intelligence, and sports data:

▪️ePass - Cloud platform that digitizes and automates licensing, permitting, and compliance workflows for governments and regulated industries.

▪️Halo Drive - Vehicle-aware AI with a full driverless software + hardware stack to improve safety and efficiency for passenger and freight fleets.

▪️Neuranics - Scalable TMR quantum sensing built for next-gen human-machine interfaces using advanced magnetic sensing.

▪️Antaia - AI-powered ESG intelligence that automates data collection, disclosure analysis, and compliance for evolving sustainability regulations.

▪️Fanbase - All-in-one platform for sports teams and leagues to unify ticketing, memberships, and fan analytics for data-driven growth.

If you’re an investor, operator, or potential partner who likes meeting companies early, keep an eye out - we’ll be sharing moments from their time at Werqwise soon.
