## What Happens at a FoundersHub AI Meetup

Each FoundersHub AI meetup follows a consistent three-part format. Doors open at 18:30 for casual networking. At 19:00, three speakers each present for 20 minutes during Show & Tell sessions, demonstrating AI solutions they have built using AI tools, low-code platforms, or vibe-coding approaches. Topics range from enterprise AI deployments to startup MVPs. After presentations, from 20:00 onward, attendees participate in extended networking, community discussions, and AI Discovery sessions where members bring real business challenges and crowdsource solutions.

## Community Offerings Beyond Meetups

FoundersHub AI Community provides several resources beyond the bi-weekly meetups. The Daily AI Digest is an automated pipeline that aggregates and summarizes the most relevant AI developments, delivered to the Telegram group every morning at 7:30 AM Riga time. The Hot Reload Newsletter is a weekly email with AI community highlights, event recaps, and curated content. The community Telegram group serves as a hub for ongoing discussions, resource sharing, and networking between events.
