An unexpected incident occurred in the world of startups in San Francisco when the planned Cluely party, linked to the AI Startup School, was shut down by police.
Shutdown of Cluely Party
Cluely founder Roy Lee described the event as 'the most legendary party that never happened.' Intended as an unofficial wrap-up for the AI Startup School, the party quickly got out of control.
Reasons for Police Intervention
According to Lee, about 2,000 people attended the party, which caused severe traffic congestion and led law enforcement to intervene. The event was shut down before it began to prevent further issues.
Reactions in the Startup Community
The incident became the subject of jokes and memes within the startup community. Despite the shutdown, Lee noted that the drinks remained, awaiting a future event.
This situation highlights the unique nature of startup culture in San Francisco and the fine line between viral marketing and the practicalities of hosting large events.
