Hacking AI Accelerators: Maxxing Tokens & Outcomes with Rob Ferguson @ Fireworks

Learn how accelerator programs actually work from someone who built them at AWS and Azure, plus practical ways to maximize your token credits.

Rob Ferguson built the AI accelerator programs at both AWS and Azure, so he knows exactly how these programs evaluate startups and allocate credits. In this talk, he'll walk through how the founder's role has shifted over the past year and share concrete tactics for maximizing token usage and pulling real value from accelerator programs. If you're bootstrapping an AI startup or considering applying to an accelerator, you'll hear from someone who literally designed the programs you're trying to navigate. Chris Fregly and Antje Barth will also cover meetup updates at the start.
