Why it matters
Applications to present close July 3rd, so it's a real chance to get direct feedback on an unpolished AI project from other DC-area builders and founders, not just spectate.
The tokenmaxxing angle
Live product showcases at an AWS venue are a natural spot to hear how early-stage builders are actually paying for inference — cloud credits, spot GPU deals, or provider switching to keep demo-stage burn rate down.
From the organizers
Builder applications to present a project are being accepted until July 3rd, and projects do not need to be polished or a full startup.
