Tech x Market Decoders (This week - Let's Talk about Jev)
Tue, Oct 6, 10:00 PM**We decode tech and market signals together, *salon-style with a curated group* -** so you can operate, invest, and decide better. You MUST register on Luma to get the address and attend. Here is the link - https://luma.com/49gyscb7 * Past attendees have been founders, investors and operators who work in tech or tech-adjacent roles across industries # Our Why AI can build a financial model, summarize an earnings call, or map a competitive landscape in seconds. *What AI cannot do is connect the dots around what's happening right now - a technology, a trend, a business, an idea, a decision. Or what a moment like that actually signals.* *That takes human judgment, experience, and taste.* The kind you only build by studying real examples, arguing them out loud, and testing your read against people who see it differently than you do. **If you want a space to actually grow your thinking IRL and connect with people who match that energy, this is it.** # That's what Tech x Market Decoders is for. **Every week, we pick one topic** — a company or startup everyone's talking about, a technology reshaping an industry, or a shift in how things are being built or bought. Bring your laptop. ## Here's how it works: * **Check-in and Intros** * **15 minutes — decode solo.** Quiet research time. Dig into the news, the product, the tech, the data. No talking, just thinking. * **45 minutes — decode together.** We open the floor. What did you find? Where do you disagree? What's convincing, what's overhyped, what would change your mind? This is where judgment actually gets built — not from reading alone, but from testing your read against someone else's. * **Last few minutes —** wrap up. You'll leave with a sharper read on the topic than you walked in with, and a few new perspectives you hadn't considered. That's the whole point. # **This week's topic:** **Let's Talk About Jev!** A tiny AI startup called Jev just went viral for doing the opposite of what every other AI company is doing — it doesn't chat at all. Built by an ex-OpenAI researcher, Jev only returns fast, structured decisions (yes/no, multiple choice, confidence scores) instead of generating text, and it's reportedly fielding funding offers north of $10 billion just over a week after launch. **We're decoding:** Is Jev a genuinely new category of AI — a faster, cheaper layer sitting underneath the chatbots — or is this hype-cycle enthusiasm for something that's really just a narrow classifier with good marketing? *Supporting questions:* Does the "specialized model" approach threaten the big general-purpose LLMs, or complement them? What would it take for Jev's $10B valuation talk to actually make sense a year from now? Come as you are — operator, investor, builder, or just someone who reads too much tech or business news and wants to discuss with smart people. *Prep not required but feel free to do some home research before you arrive if you'd like.* \*\*Refunds available up to 48 hours before the session. After that, we are sorry but the fee is non-refundable. **About Us** This event is organized by Innovest, a media-led intelligence platform at the intersection of tech and markets, built for operators, investors, and founders. Through newsletters, a growing library of business models, and events like this one, we're building the judgment, experience, and taste that no AI can replace — one pattern, one playbook, one signal at a time. **Disclaimer** By registering for this event, you'll be added to our two newsletters. You can unsubscribe at any time.
PHDs & Pints: How AI Sees Cancer
Tue, Oct 6, 10:30 PMJoin us in meeting at Sour Mouse's evening lecture series, PHDs and Pints! We'll meet up a little beforehand to hang out, chat, and socialize a bit before the lecture. Join the **[Whatsapp chat](https://waprotect.com/b4SxaaAB?utm_source=luma)** to make sure you find our group. This is not a dry academic talk. Expect storytelling, humor, surprising insights, and plenty of “wait… that’s actually true” moments. **How AI Sees Cancer: From Microscope to Machine** What if a computer could look at a tiny piece of tissue and find patterns in cancer that the human eye might miss? For the next **PHDs & Pints**, we're going inside one of the most fascinating applications of artificial intelligence: **how AI is changing the way we study, detect, and understand cancer.** Join **Dr. Akash Parvatikar, Director of Artificial Intelligence at Biobase and PhD in Computational Biology**, for a look at the rapidly evolving world of digital pathology — where traditional microscope slides are transformed into massive digital images that can be analyzed using machine learning. Akash has spent his career at the intersection of **AI, biology, and pathology**. His research has included developing explainable AI systems for challenging breast cancer diagnoses and studying why even trained pathologists can sometimes interpret the same tissue differently. Today, he works on AI-driven biological data platforms designed to help researchers make sense of increasingly complex biomedical data. We'll explore questions like: **What does AI actually "see" when it looks at cancer? Can a machine recognize patterns a doctor might miss? Why can two pathologists look at the same tissue and reach different conclusions? Could AI help make diagnoses more consistent? And where should we *not* trust AI with our health?** We'll also look at how scientists are teaching machines to analyze millions of cells, recognize biomarkers and turn traditional pathology slides into entirely new sources of data — while confronting a critical problem: if an AI reaches a conclusion, doctors need to understand **why**. Please also RSVP[ ](https://www.eventbrite.com/e/phds-pints-how-ai-sees-cancer-tickets-2000720561056?aff=oddtdtcreator&utm_source=luma)**[here on eventbrite](https://www.eventbrite.com/e/phds-pints-how-ai-sees-cancer-tickets-2000720561056?aff=oddtdtcreator&utm_source=luma)** to reserve your spot. 🚀 **Join the Whatsapp Community to Stay Updated** → Join our **[Whatsapp community](https://waprotect.com/b4SxaaAB?utm_source=luma)** to find people when you arrive, ask any questions, stay updated about the meetup or join socials organized by members on other days. **About the Organizer** **[New York Coworking Friends](https://newyorkcoworkingfriends.com/?utm_source=luma)** is a community of remote workers who meet at different coworking spaces, cafes, and other third spaces throughout the city for social coworking sessions to make remote work more fun.

If you have a clinical AI startup, [learn more here and apply now.](https://www.medstartr.ai/events/doctors-ai-better/pitch/33) **About this event:** We’ve all seen the headlines. "AI Outperforms Doctors in Diagnosing Cancer." "The Robot Will See You Now." The hype is deafening. Artificial intelligence is poised to revolutionize healthcare, promising to catch diseases earlier, eliminate administrative burnout, and unlock personalized treatments we could only dream of a decade ago. But what's the reality on the ground? Is AI a trusted co-pilot for clinicians, or is it just another layer of tech creating more problems than it solves? Does it empower doctors to be more human, or does it turn them into data-entry clerks for an algorithm they can't explain? Let's be real: "better" isn't about beating a human at a single task. It's about better outcomes, better experiences for patients, and a better, more sustainable life for the people on the front lines of care. So, let's ask the hard questions. Join us for a no-holds-barred conversation that cuts through the noise. We're bringing together physicians, startup innovators, hospital leaders, and patients to debate the motion: Doctors + AI = Better? We'll explore: The Good: Where is AI already making a real, measurable difference in the clinic? The Bad: What are the hidden costs of implementation, the risks of algorithmic bias, and the potential for deskilling our medical workforce? The Sloppy: When AI gets it wrong, who's responsible? And how do we build trust in a black box when a patient's life is on the line? Whether you're a doctor curious about the tools of the future, an innovator building them, an investor trying to find the signal in the noise, or a patient who just wants the best care possible, this conversation is for you. Our panel and pitch contest judges are leaders in the space who have built clinical AI innovations, written books about them and are among the most expert in the space. Come ready to listen, learn, and see some of the best new companies building clinical AI solutions. Join us! **5:00** \- Meet\, Greet and Tweet with amazing Tacos and healthy snacks **5:30** \- Panel: Doctor _ IA= Better?
