Why it matters
The AI Collective is a global non-profit with 200,000+ members across 100+ forums. Their DC events attract policy-adjacent founders and researchers — useful for anyone building AI products in regulated spaces.
The tokenmaxxing angle
DC founders navigating government and enterprise AI procurement must cost-model AI spend explicitly. Conversations here surface how AI investment gets justified in policy-sensitive, compliance-heavy contexts.
