Yujian Tang started developing software professionally at the age of 16. In college, he studied computer science, neuroscience, and statistics and published machine learning papers to conferences like IEEE Big Data. After graduation, he worked on the AutoML system at Amazon before moving on to build his own companies including a data aggregation app, an NLP API, and his current company - OSS4AI, an organization aimed at providing all developers access to the resources to understand, use, and contribute to the direction and development of AI.

A VP of AI at Expedia, a Senior Director of Engineering at Coupang, and a VP of Engineering at Nordstrom all walk into an intimate conference.

That conference is Seattle Startup Summit featuring 120 of the world's most innovative early stage startups like InsForge, Stakpak, and Neuramill as well as growing startups paving the way like MotherDuck, Arize AI, and LastMile AI

Imagine one of the highest alpha events for keeping up with technology innovation - is that a conference your startup belongs at? Is that a conference you belong at? If you think so, join us - RSVP below.

Seattle Startup Summit prep is in full swing

Super excited to announce the addition of a couple new workshops today:

Building evals on OpenRouter with Jacob Matson from MotherDuck

and

Building a System Prompt Learning Loop with Cam Young from Arize AI

More to come soon :) Early Bird Tickets on sale now!

Two years ago I started OSS4AI with nothing but an idea of something I wanted - a way to learn about not only type of technology, but all manners of emerging innovative dev tools.

In the time since then we've built a community of over 26k and learned from some of the most innovative companies in the world including
Databricks 
Arize AI
Sprinto
Snowflake
Lovable
Autonomy
Pinecone
Portkey
Galileo
Descope
MotherDuck
and many more

And in April, we expect to see many more innovators join us and over 1000 tech leaders for Seattle Startup Summit

If you're one of them - apply below :)

Last year we received nearly 500 applications and featured over 200 startup demos at our OSS4AI events.

This year, our first live event with startup demos is coming up.

And we've lined up our first set of demos:
rtrvr.ai 🐶
Cloudidr
Daemo AI
Impulse AI
and Agentplace.io

Come join us on 1/26 at SF Awesome AI Dev Tools

MC'd by me, Cody Feda, Rakshanda Reddy Bijjam, and George Fahmy

Are you in charge of implementing AI at your company?

Then this will be exciting for you

The first five startup demos for Seattle Startup Summit have been announced

Flexprice
Solutioneers Inc.
Map Collective
SiC Systems, Inc.
and Veneo

Many more to come soon :)

More startups joining Seattle Startup Summit

Verisense Networks (with Helena Wang)
Latent Space Media
Neuramill
LemiLeap
Stakpak

More to come soon :)

Do you consider yourself an early adopter?

Someone who likes to keep up with the latest and greatest tech? Someone who stays ahead of the curve? Someone who isn't afraid to try new things?

That's the type of people that you'll find at Seattle Startup Summit

We don't just feature new technology - we feature the best new technology.

Some companies we featured last year include
Databricks (valued at 100B)
Arize AI (raised 70M series C)
Galileo (raised 45M series B)
Statsig (exited at 1.1B to OpenAI)

Some companies already expected to be there this year include
Descope (raised 88M seed)
LastMile AI (raised 10M seed)
FlickBloom (raised 1M seed)

Get ahead of the curve - make sure you sign up today.

Learning how to use cutting edge AI is one of the best things you can do in 2026

What better way than to learn from the experts working on the innovative tools themselves?

Two new workshops have just been added to the highest alpha innovation event of the year, Seattle Startup Summit

Just announced:

How to Build an Enterprise Video Analysis Agent with Amazon Web Services (AWS) AgentCore and TwelveLabs

and

How to build and deploy MCP agents for production with LastMile AI

(in addition to workshops by Arize AI and MotherDuck)

One of the ways you can take advantage of a conference is by attending workshops given by experts.

You get a live hands-on session to learn a new and innovative tool, upgrading your skills and giving you more to draw from when you implement new technology at your company.

Here are 2 workshops recently added to Seattle Startup Summit

"Ship Reliable RAG Pipelines with ClickHouse" by Zoe Steinkamp

"How to deploy models on-device with Qualcomm AI Hub" by Neel Kishan
