Folsom AI Meetup • Featuring FYC Labs CEO Justin Fortier
A relaxed evening of AI conversation, networking, and collaboration with local entrepreneurs, technologists, and business professionals.
Startup Folsom’s monthly Folsom AI Meetup returns to Granite City Workspaces for an informal evening centered on artificial intelligence, entrepreneurship, technology, and real-world collaboration. The meetup is designed as a place to connect with others who are experimenting with AI, building products, running businesses, or simply trying to understand where the technology is heading.
This month’s featured guest is Justin Fortier, CEO of FYC Labs, a technology entrepreneur whose background spans software development, product strategy, company building, and business leadership. His experience gives the evening a practical perspective on how technology moves from ideas into products, services, and growing companies.
Rather than a formal classroom-style workshop, the meetup emphasizes conversation, networking, shared ideas, and real-time collaboration. Participants can meet others working with AI, compare approaches, ask questions, and explore how emerging tools are influencing businesses and startups across the region.

💬 A More Casual AI Conversation
This monthly gathering is built around laid-back AI discussion, networking, and real-time collaboration rather than a formal classroom presentation. It is an opportunity to trade ideas, meet people experimenting with AI, and hear perspectives from others working across technology, startups, and business.
💼 Who Might Want to Join?
The meetup should be especially useful for entrepreneurs, developers, business owners, product builders, marketers, and AI-curious professionals who want to meet others working with emerging technology and exchange ideas in a more conversational setting.
🍕 Meetup Fuel: Startup Folsom says the evening will once again feature cold pizza and room-temperature bottled water. Apparently the AI keeps improving, but the startup-event catering tradition remains safely human.
