AI Implementation at Offline with Taylor Cotner (Triangle Startup Collective)

This month we're excited to feature Taylor Cotner, VP of Product at Offline (Raleigh's homegrown restaurant club, now live in 10+ cities). Taylor will share the AI implementations that have made the biggest difference for the business — from shipping features to 10,000+ members to the experimental pipelines running behind the scenes.

Hosted by Parker Mayes and James Fredley, this event brings together startup founders and teams with a panel of experts for real, practical conversations about building companies from the ground up.
