about choose good quests
SILICON VALLEY IS IN A CRISIS.
We are living in the most important and transformative time of our lives - Yet our best minds are being wasted on marginal AI wrappers & safe bets.
This is a threat to our civilization.
To combat that, we're hosting Choose Good Quests - a speaker series at the Savant Lab in San Francisco that brings together exceptional people committed to building what must exist.
we invite speakers (often founders, operators, and vcs) who genuinely embody the "choose good quests" ethos. every event we've hosted has been oversubscribed — and We carefully curate every attendee.
at our events, You’ll meet fellow builders, researchers, and founders on ambitious paths, the kind of people who just might change your trajectory.
The vibes are always legendary.
