That happened again last week when CEOs of two companies that weren't originally rooted here discussed plans to embed locally — one via partnerships with local food and drink institutions, and another by moving into new offices downtown. I connected with each of them after the event to get more details. Check out what they said, along with details about another founder shooting his shot with CareFirst, and the accelerator's status amid Techstars' recent institutional woes. ➡️ Learn more about the latest Techstars Equitech cohort and demo day here. | Using AI to monitor AI regulation | Government agencies the world over have enacted so many policies for artificial intelligence use these past few months that anybody would have trouble keeping up.
