Lightspeed is a global multistage, multisector, venture capital firm and is among the most active investors in generative AI startups—including the storytelling platform Tome. No matter if you’re an artist or an analyst, the applied power of generative AI is already alive on your preferred screen—and its influence on how humans express creativity in all aspects of life will only grow. In this special Innovation Festival edition of Lightspeed’s ongoing Generative meetup series, Tome cofounder Keith Peiris will be in conversation with Lightspeed partner Michael Mignano to discuss the origins of the startup, its impact, and the future of generative AI.

The meetup will also feature product demos from three promising startups working with generative AI technology. There will be an opportunity for networking, and light bites and beverages will be served.
