The Challenge

The Challenge

The Challenge

Outset Capital envisioned a series that felt both exclusive and expansive:

  • Exclusive because the events were hosted by unicorn start-ups around San Francisco, creating a tight-knit, high-value environment for networking and conversation.

  • Expansive because every session needed to reach a broader audience of founders, engineers, and investors interested in AI via live streaming.


They needed a scalable AV solution that could:

  • Deliver broadcast-quality production in small venues.

  • Be set up and struck in a matter of hours, not days.

  • Stream live to YouTube, LinkedIn, and X.

  • Create a consistent visual identity for the brand and series.

  • Seamlessly support the dynamic technical needs of fast-moving AI startups.
