AI is shaped not just by technology - but by perspective.

This NYC Tech Week, Bonjour Girls is partnering with Pioneering Minds AI to host "Code, Capital, & Curiosity: Women's Take on AI" - a panel bringing together female founders, investors, & innovators who are actively building, funding, & deploying AI today.

This is a collaborative event co-hosted with Pioneering Minds AI & is open to all - not just women. Whether you're a founder, engineer, investor, or simply curious about the future of AI, you're welcome here. We believe the best conversations happen when diverse voices are in the room.

While the AI conversation is often dominated by speed & scale, we want to center something different: the women who are making the critical decisions - what to build, how to fund it, & where it goes next.

Meet Our Speakers:

Denzil Eden - Founder & CEO @ Smarty

Denzil leads Smarty, an AI-powered productivity assistant that automates workflows & optimizes how people manage their time. A solo female technical founder with an AI background from MIT & an MBA from Harvard, she previously worked at Microsoft across product & engineering. Her work focuses on building human-centered AI systems that redefine how we interact with technology.

Eva Dong - Lead of AI Value Realisation @ Google Cloud

Eva is a global AI strategist helping organizations translate AI investments into measurable business impact. With over a decade of experience spanning McKinsey, Visa, & enterprise AI transformation, she specializes in scaling AI from experimentation to real-world deployment - advising global leaders at the intersection of data science, strategy, & commercialization.

Jessica Shen - COO @ Credal

Jessica leads operations at Credal, a Series A enterprise AI company building AI agents for business workflows, backed by $10M in funding. She brings deep experience in scaling AI products & translating technical innovation into enterprise value. Jessica also founded Asian Founders Club, a community for Asian Gen Z founders & creators.

Sherry Li - Founder @ PaiBox

Sherry built PaiBox, an AI-powered platform for property managers & homeowners - automating repair requests, dispatching vendors, & managing workflows end to end. She also founded C-STAR in 2018 as a real estate fund focused on building value through smart acquisitions.



What We'll Discuss:

How founders are making product & design decisions in the age of AI

What investors are actually looking for in an increasingly crowded space

Where research meets real-world application - & where it breaks

The subtle (and not so subtle) dynamics of building as a woman in tech

These are women who aren't just talking about AI - they're shipping products, closing rounds, & making strategic decisions at some of the most consequential companies in the space.

Expect a conversation that is candid, thoughtful, & grounded in reality - followed by a curated networking session with people you'll actually want to meet.
