The Challenge

Mistral AI wanted sustained community presence in San Francisco's developer ecosystem — not a one-time event that fades in two weeks. They needed consistent brand recognition among SF's ML engineers and CTOs, and a format that would compound over time. No other frontier LLM company was doing this consistently in SF.

The Solution

We designed and managed an 8-month recurring meetup series capped at 200 developers per event. Each month rotated venues across SF's most developer-credible offices — GitHub HQ, Stripe, Figma, and others. Monthly themes aligned with Mistral's technical roadmap: quantization, fine-tuning, RAG pipelines, agentic frameworks, and more. We handled the entire series: venue sourcing, speaker curation, Luma promotion, catering, and content packaging for post-event distribution. By month three, sponsorship revenue covered all event costs.
