On Thursday, March 20th in Mountain View, BrainMind held a Startup Salon and “Five Fire Pit” night. We brought together entrepreneurs from the most innovative companies working at the intersection of the neuroscience, mind science, AI, and consciousness.

This private gathering brought together visionary entrepreneurs and investors for a magical evening—surrounded by thought-provoking conversations and cutting-edge neurotechnology. 

This was a rare opportunity to engage directly with pioneering founders at the cutting edge of neurotechnology, AI, and mind science—where bold ideas and breakthrough innovations are shaping the future.
