My friend and former partner at Altimeter Group Jeremiah Owyang is now a VC at Blitzscaling Ventures along with my friend Chris Yeh. Owyang is also the host of Llama Lounge, one of the largest AI events in the San Francisco Bay Area.
In February 2024, Owyang hosted Llama Lounge 8 at GENLAB in San Francisco with 300 attendees that included AI founders, venture capitalists, media, and influencers. The event also had hundreds of prospects on the waiting list.

A New AI Networking Event Arises
Following Llama Lounge, my event partner and longtime BFF Vanessa Camones and I hosted a new networking event to connect VCs, founders, press, thought leaders, and executives. We call it renAIssance, and it served as the official after party to Llama Lounge.
The first ever renAIssance event was hosted at the Four Seasons on Market Street. It’s a place with deep roots in my early Web 2.0 and startup days. It seemed like the perfect venue for our inaugural event.
renAIssance will continue to serve as the after party for Llama Lounge and will also tour Los Angeles, New York, Austin, among other important cities and alongside key conferences. Please reach out to me if you’re interested in hosting/sponsoring an upcoming event!
We look forward to seeing you at the next renAIssance!
