# Unique Outbound Study Tour | Seattle–Silicon Valley Dual-City AI Immersion

_Unique Research · Insight / Program · October 18, 2024 · Led by Unique Capital partners_

U.S. tech giants keep shipping AI “king bombs” while GenAI carpet-lands across everyday life — and China–U.S. AI debates intensify. Is this only a giants’ game, or can next-gen AI startups co-build the playground? Unique Capital partners lead a dual-city Seattle–Silicon Valley study tour for founders hungry for frontier products and scenes.

## Five pillars

1.  Visit Microsoft, Amazon, Nvidia and peers’ frontier AI products
2.  Exchange with U.S. tech founders on product, tech, and GTM
3.  Tour Stanford, University of Washington and other research campuses
4.  Culture: Starbucks first store, Boeing museum, Space Needle, etc.
5.  Walk Silicon Valley / Seattle founder corridors and tech meetups
