Founder + Funder Jog

Midtown Day kicked off at dawn with runners lacing up at The Biltmore. Founders, investors, and friends clocked a casual 3.5-mile run together—part workout, part moving meetup—setting the tone for a day built on connections.

Robot Demo day at centergy:

Dogs, humanoids, a robot centipede, and other hardware took over the Centergy courtyard, turning heads and sparking conversations about the next wave of automation

The Traveling Library:

A pop-up book exchange led by TSQ Clubhouse Manager Vicky Fowler stocked with handpicked reads invited passersby to slow down, swap stories, and share ideas — proving that sometimes, inspiration hides between pages.

Ethical & Responsible AI Panel:

Over lunch, researchers like TSRB’s Richmond Wong and industry voices like Alexandria de Aranzeta dove deep into thorny questions: Is AI inherently biased? Who should be accountable? Can we build better systems, or are we just baking old prejudices into new tech?

Tech Square Tech Hop:

Part trail, part tasting tour, the Tech Hop led attendees through multiple booths showcasing food and beverage founders, Atlanta startups, and Georgia Tech research groups.

The Future of AI in Creative:

In the evening, a panel and happy hour explored how generative AI transforms art, entertainment, and storytelling — and where human creativity still holds the edge.

Cleantech Hustle Hour:

Led by Andy Marshall and the Georgia Cleantech Innovation Hub, Georgia’s clean energy founders and operators swapped insights and stories, no pitch decks, no press.
