San Francisco
AI startups, mapped.
San Francisco has become the center of gravity for AI startups, and the scene is concentrated in a handful of neighborhoods. SF Tech Map is building a map so you can see where AI companies, the investors who back them and the places they gather actually are.

We'll email the day the map opens.
Why a map helps with the AI scene
The AI scene moves quickly and is geographically tight. People meet at the same cafes, hackathons and events, and teams often sit a few blocks from the funds that back them. A map makes those relationships visible in a way a list cannot.
Where the AI scene clusters
Hayes Valley
Often nicknamed "Cerebral Valley" in the local AI scene, and a common base for small teams and meetups.
SoMa
Home to many startups, scaleups and coworking spaces, with easy transit access.
The Mission
A long-standing early-stage neighborhood with offices mixed in among homes and restaurants.
FiDi and Jackson Square
Venture firms and larger offices close to downtown transit.
What the map will cover
- AI startups and labs, placed at their offices and filterable by what they build.
- Investors and accelerators active in AI.
- Coworking spaces and cafes where the community gathers.
- A weekly view of events, meetups and hackathons.
- Walking routes that link a day of meetings into one loop.
