High-Value Python Unit Tests That Keep AI from Breaking Your Code
2026-04-18 12:15 - 13:45 | Third Street, 814 S 3rd St, Las Vegas, 89101, Las Vegas, NV, 89101, US
This presentation explores how to write high-value unit tests in Python with PyTest, treating testing as both a core engineering practice and a practical safeguard for AI-assisted development. On the engineering side, the session covers the standard reasons teams invest in good tests: catching regressions early, supporting safe refactoring, documenting expected behavior, and increasing confidence in code changes. On the AI side, it shows how strong tests reduce the risk of AI coding tools introducing subtle bugs, changing behavior unintentionally, or producing code that only looks correct. The talk focuses on writing tests that are clear, fast, isolated, and meaningful, using PyTest features such as expressive assertions, fixtures, and parametrization. It also emphasizes that developers should not only write good tests themselves, but also instruct AI tools to generate tests with the same quality bar. The goal is to show that well-designed tests serve two equally important purposes: they improve software quality in the usual ways, and they act as guardrails that make AI-generated code safer to use.

NAB Week Kickoff: Tech Vegas AI Mixer (Speakeasy Night)
If you’re in Vegas early for NAB, let’s connect before the week gets busy.
We’re putting together a small, chill meetup at a hidden speakeasy inside Mas Por Favor — just a good group of people talking AI, business, marketing, and what everyone’s working on.

🧠 What this is:

A casual hangout with people in tech, AI, and marketing
A chance to meet others in town for NAB
Real conversations (not surface-level networking)

❌ What this is NOT:

Not a panel
Not a pitch event
Not a loud, overcrowded mixer

Just a relaxed space to meet people and talk.

📍 Location:
Mas Por Favor (Speakeasy)
5900 W Flamingo Rd, Las Vegas
We’ll have a small lounge/couch area, but the space is open so it’ll feel natural and easy to move around.

🕒 Time:
7:30 PM – 9:30 PM
Stop by anytime — people will be coming and going.

🍸 Extras:

I’ll grab a few appetizers and some shots for early arrivals
Drinks available at the bar

👥 Who should come:

Founders
Marketers
Creators
AI-curious builders
Vegas Locals in Tech
Anyone in Vegas for NAB who wants
to meet people before things get hectic

⚠️ Quick note:
This is intentionally a smaller meetup — easier to actually talk and connect.

If you’re around, pull up.
Looking forward to meeting everyone.

Q&A #2: Founder Institute - Ask us anything!
2026-04-14 10:00 - 12:00 | Online event
Why Do 92% of Early-Stage Startups Fail — And How Do You Avoid Being One of Them?
Seven years ago, this statistic stopped us in our tracks. Today, it still hasn’t changed — and that’s exactly why we’re hosting this event.
Founders today aren’t short on information. They’re buried in it. Conflicting advice, emerging trends, and constant noise make it harder than ever to stay focused on what actually drives growth. After analyzing hundreds of startup post mortems, one thing stands out: most of these failures were preventable.
❯ What We’ll Cover:

Is an accelerator the right fit for your startup?
Do you need to pursue the VC route — and what are the alternatives?
How our program is structured and what sets it apart
How AI is reshaping the startup landscape and what it means for founders

Whether you’re just starting out or looking to level up, this is your chance to get real answers, cut through the noise, and walk away with clarity on your next steps.
❯❯ Bring your questions. We’ll be ready.
We look forward to meeting you! — Jeni & Lucas
Hosted by Founder Institute
