Why We Exist
AI Valley is an exclusive community for ambitious pioneers ready to cross boundaries never thought possible. We unite visionaries who dare to dream bigger, build bolder, and transform the impossible into reality.
We're not building just another community. We're cultivating an elite collective of pioneers who refuse to accept "that's how it's always been done." Our members don't follow trends—they create them. They don't solve problems—they discover opportunities no one else can see.
Entry is selective. Impact is unlimited.

Our Story
AI Valley was founded in 2025 by Victor Su-Ortiz, then a graduate student at Carnegie Mellon University–Silicon Valley, with a simple idea: create a community where people could come together to learn, build, and innovate.
What began as a few local hackathons in the Bay Area has grown into a community of more than 500 members across multiple cities, and more than 100 projects and startup ideas.
We're proud of what our community has accomplished so far and we're excited to continue building together, and to see the future our community will build.
