Longtime product-and-engineering founder Sev Geraskin spotlights Path Five Solutions and his nonprofit work—Economy of Wisdom and Lantern Lab—at the Vancouver AI Meetup. He shares how an AI platform for performance storytelling turned a playful hackathon prompt (“is a hot dog a sandwich?”) into data-driven insight, concluding it’s not—controversially. Sev emphasizes authenticity, real connection, and a community “with a soul,” crediting Vancouver AI for friendships, feedback, and collaboration that help projects grow. It’s a founder’s journey focused on practical AI, social good, and the human factor that differentiates this meetup.
