SF Tech Week 2024 Kicks Off

SF Tech Week 2024 has officially begun and will run until October 13. The city is packed with top innovators, investors, and tech professionals from across the globe. Among the exciting lineup, several Nordic speakers are worth watching.

SF Tech Week 2024 in San Francisco is a collaborative event that runs from October 7 to 13. It brings together innovators, investors, founders, and tech professionals.

One Nordic entrepreneur to meet is Yana Welinder, founder and CEO of Kraftful. On Wednesday, she will participate in a B2B AI Panel organized by Codi. This session will explore go-to-market strategies and the challenges of growing in competitive AI-driven markets. On Friday evening, Kamp will organize a fireside chat with Yana Welinder, during which she will share more about Kraftful's journey.

“San Francisco Tech Week is a fantastic example of the creativity that drives the tech scene. Seeing people come together to build, learn from each other, and share ideas is always inspiring,” says Yana Welinder.

Yana Welinder, who has a Swedish-Ukrainian background, is the co-founder and CEO of Kraftful, an AI-powered tool that helps product managers connect, analyze, and extract insights from user feedback, transforming it into actionable product decisions seamlessly.

Finnish Ari Tulla, founder of Elo Health, will showcase his innovative health startup. The company invites participants to an active networking experience; investors and founders can join a Saturday morning biking tour from San Francisco to Hawk Hill, offering a chance to connect while enjoying the scenic ride.

Arvid Lunnemark, co-founder of Anysphere and Cursor, will be a featured judge at the AI Hackathon hosted by Founders, Inc. The hackathon will see top AI developers building projects in consumer AI and AI hardware, with the best teams presenting their innovations to Lunnemark and the other judges.

Heidi Frost Eriksen, COO and co-founder of Simli, will participate in an AI HR event hosted by Indeed and Reach Capital. Frost Eriksen will showcase how Simli brings HR agents to life with a human touch.

SF Tech Week is not organized by a single entity but by various venture capital firms, startups, and organizations within the tech ecosystem. Each event during the week is hosted by different companies, with panels, workshops, hackathons, and networking sessions spread across multiple venues in San Francisco.
