Hybrid Event: AI for Economic Opportunity Demo Day 2025

# Economic Opportunity
# Non Profit

About the Talk

Join us in San Francisco, or tune in virtually, for an exclusive in-person Demo Day hosted by the GitLab Foundation and OpenAI. The event will spotlight 14 bold, visionary projects from our AI for Economic Opportunity Fund.

These teams are harnessing the power of AI to tackle some of today’s toughest economic challenges—from workforce access to income mobility—with real-world solutions that could improve millions of lives and unlock billions in lifetime earnings.

Expect big ideas, high-impact innovation, and meaningful connections. Attendees will include funders, partners and innovators supported by the GitLab Foundation, OpenAI and the Ballmer Group.

We have a limited number of in-person tickets reserved for Forum members. If you're a VC investing in philanthropic tech companies, we'd love to host you. Please request an invite by registering and briefly sharing about your work—we'll be in touch soon!
