Amplitude Is Going to AfroTech: Powering the Next Wave of Founders

Every year, AfroTech brings together thousands of innovators, entrepreneurs, and creators at the intersection of technology, culture, and community. This October, more than 20,000 people will gather in Houston to celebrate Black excellence, spark new ideas, and explore how the future of tech is being built.

Amplitude is proud to be a part of it. As a sponsor of AfroTech 2025, we’re showing up to support diverse communities, highlight inspiring founders, and share how AI Agents can change how early-stage companies scale.

Why AfroTech matters

AfroTech isn’t just a conference—it’s a movement. It’s a space where people of all backgrounds unite to uplift Black professionals in tech, fuel career growth, and accelerate innovation.

For Amplitude, supporting AfroTech is about more than sponsorship. It’s about standing behind diverse founders, celebrating inclusion, and making sure that the tools to build world-class products are accessible to everyone.

Amplitude’s AfroTech session

Startups are built on speed, focus, and hustle. But what if you could add AI to your founding team?

On Day 3 of AfroTech 2025, Amplitude Senior Solutions Engineer Shessvy Kelly and Rézme CEO & co-founder Jodi Anderson Jr. show you how to make that “what if” a reality with From Hustle to Hypergrowth: How to Scale Smarter with AI Presented by Amplitude.

In this live demo session, you’ll see how Amplitude AI Agents give small teams a big advantage by uncovering user behavior, automating analysis, testing ideas faster, and ultimately helping startups scale smarter. You’ll also hear firsthand how Rézme uses Amplitude to better understand its users, unlock insights, and drive sharper decisions.

From uncovering user behavior to automating analysis and testing ideas faster, learn how AI is changing the startup playbook and giving small teams a big advantage.

Spotlight on AI Agents

AI Agents start with something simple: a goal. It might be improving website conversion, boosting feature adoption, or smoothing out onboarding wrinkles. From there, the Agent’s mission is to analyze data across Amplitude (such as behavioral data, session replays, experiments, guides, surveys, etc.) to continually optimize toward its goal.

What sets our Agents apart is that they don’t just surface insights and leave you with more work—they act like an extension of your team, helping you move from analysis to action:

• Learn from everything: AI Agents synthesize data for a complete picture of what’s working and what isn’t.
• Take real action: In addition to insights, they recommend changes, run tests, ship guides, and track results.
• Work around the clock: They’re always running, always monitoring, and always ready for next steps.
• Adapt to your pace: You stay in control, choosing how much autonomy to give Agents and scaling as you go.

This always-on, multi-track model transforms product development from a slow, step-by-step process into a scalable, continuous cycle of discovery and action. Your team gains more time to focus on what matters most—building, shipping, and learning at speed.
