If you ask me, in-person events are only worth attending if you’re going to meet truly remarkable people there.

Because here’s the thing: Forging genuine connections with over 200 people who can serve your business, your portfolio, and your life?

That is much easier done in person than online.

So… who are you going to meet at Camp Hustle? And are they truly remarkable?

I certainly think so. Let’s take a peek at a few of this year’s confirmed attendees:

This is Pankaj.

For starters, there's Pankaj Kedia.

Pankaj is a globally recognized AI expert. He's an early-stage investor, chief AI officer, adjunct MBA professor, keynote speaker, and board member. He's known as Pankaj.ai by his friends.

Pankaj is the founder and MP of 2468 Ventures. He's invested in 150+ early stage startups (ex: Anthropic, Deel, Figure AI, Magic, OpenAI), 15+ funds (incl Hustle Fund), and was an early investor in Nvidia and Bitcoin.

Then there’s Danielle Strachman, founder and GP at 1517 Fund.

Danielle and her team believe that the higher education system is not the only path to greatness. That’s why they focus on investing in makers, hackers, and scientists who are interested in working outside tracked institutions.

Danielle is also the co-founder of Innovation Academy, and was on the founding team of the Thiel Fellowship.

This is Danielle.

This is Jeff.

And then of course there’s Jeff Bargmann.

Jeff is a twice-exited founder, investor, and mentor. He’s created apps with +15m downloads. His companies were acquired by Flickr and GameStop.

From 2019-2023, Jeff invested in ~40 companies focused on healthcare, women's health, mental health, and education. His goal was to assist historically overlooked founders, while learning all he could along the way.

These are just 3 of the 250+ people you’ll meet at Camp Hustle.

And yes, they tend to be impressive people with fascinating backgrounds. But they are also some of the kindest, most inclusive and unique people you’ll meet all year.

As one attendee put it last year… “The quality of attendees at Camp Hustle is 10/10.”

I couldn’t agree more.
