Building A Global AI Community
- Nathan founded the Applied AI Association in 2024 to connect professionals applying AI in business.
- The association runs global chapters and industry committees to help companies learn, network, and do deals.
Committee Access Led To A Half-Million Deal
- Nathan described a startup joining a retail industry committee and landing a major vendor relationship.
- That connection led to roughly $500K in first-year revenue the startup likely couldn't have achieved cold-calling.
