The second edition of AI.Weekend just got a serious update! From September 18th to 21st, the Adriatic town of Rovinj will once again become a hotspot for the most curious minds in tech and this year’s keynote speaker is guaranteed to raise the bar.

The one and only, Sheel Mohnot, General Partner at Better Tomorrow Ventures, will take the stage as a keynote speaker, bringing his razor-sharp insights and irreverent charm to the conversation. Known for investing in bold, disruptive startups and co-hosting one of the most popular startup podcasts in the game, Sheel offers a front-row view into the world of venture capital at the intersection of fintech and AI. This is a session you won’t want to miss!

But Sheel is more than a funder, he’s a storyteller, provocateur, and connector. As a co-host of the popular The Crazy VC podcast, he’s made startup thinking accessible, insightful, and wildly entertaining. His keynotes don’t just share ideas, they shake up the way we think about risk, innovation, and the very future of venture capital.

At AI.Weekend, Sheel will dive into what’s next at the crossroads of AI, fintech, and entrepreneurship, offering a rare window into the mindset of the people writing the first checks and defining the next wave of global tech.

Joining this amazing lineup will be Božidar Pavlović, Partner at AYMO Ventures. With over two decades of experience in international banking and a bold leap into the startup world, Božidar now plays a key role in shaping the region’s early-stage investment scene. His deep understanding of both traditional finance and the startup ecosystem gives him a unique perspective that bridges two worlds. Expect a session filled with actionable insights, sharp analysis, and grounded advice for founders and investors alike.

Following last year’s incredible debut (featuring speakers from OpenAI to Tinder), AI.Weekend is once again curating a program that balances big ideas with practical insights. Expect thought-provoking discussions, real-world case studies, and plenty of chances to connect with founders, investors, engineers, and creators shaping the future of AI.

This is just the beginning of what’s shaping up to be an unforgettable second edition of AI.Weekend. With more speakers, networking events, and hands-on discussions in the works, Rovinj is becoming the playground for the brightest minds shaping tomorrow.
