Truth or Dare: Real Talk on AI Startups and Investing | Unity Ventures AI Wonder Night
Chatting with Investors and Founders About AI's Present and Future
September is a pivotal moment for soon-to-be graduates mapping out their careers. In this uncertain AI era, how do you choose your "main quest"?
Join an AI company and help push the technology forward?
Dive into VC and back the next giants of the AI age?
Or maybe you've already planted the seed of entrepreneurship, waiting for the moment to go all in?
The AI wave has rewritten job descriptions and opened a golden window for founding companies. That means hard challenges ahead — but also unexpected rewards.
AI Talent Corner, part of the AI Creators Carnival, lands at Zhongguancun Startup Street on September 19–20. Guided by the Haidian District Talent Bureau and Haidian District Human Resources and Social Security Bureau, the event is co-hosted by Beijing Zhongguancun Science City Innovation Development, Silicon Star, and Zhongguancun Startup Street, with Unity Ventures and its portfolio company TTC (True Talents Connect) as joint organizers. It brings together university students, recent graduates, AI entrepreneurs, and job seekers for a mix of recruiting, career and startup counseling, and policy briefings.
