Built with AI: The Defensive Pedal Story (w/ The AI Collective)

AI Collective Brașov #1: Building a Startup with AI

The first AI Collective Brașov meetup takes place during TechConnect x AI. The event is made for anyone building, or thinking about building, something with artificial intelligence.

The first guest is Victor Rotariu, founder of Defensive Pedal. The app helps cyclists find the safest route through the city, not the fastest one. After 15 years of cycling through Bucharest every day, Victor left his corporate job to solve a problem he knew first-hand from the saddle.

Victor will share how he used AI to take an idea from prototype to a product tested by hundreds of cyclists. He'll talk about what worked, what didn't, and what he'd do differently. The conversation is useful both for early-stage founders and for anyone wondering where AI fits in their own project.

The talk is followed by networking with the local AI community.

Please be advised: Unfortunately, space is very limited at these community events and we can not always accept everyone we would like to. If you are not accepted to this event, please keep applying! We appreciate your application tremendously and we are looking forward to seeing you at a future event very soon!
