Why it matters
A regular DMV founder gathering built around discussing failures rather than pitches gives an unfiltered read on what is actually breaking in AI startups' products and budgets.

From the organizers
The event page describes a 10am start with coffee and pastries, a midday "Mistakes Hour" for founders to share bugs and flopped launches, and an afternoon workshop run with Unstuck Labs at their Arlington HQ.
