We extend our thanks to our partner Oracle MySQL for their support and active participation in TechCrunch Sessions: AI, held on June 5, 2025, at UC Berkeley.
“Building Richer and More Scalable GenAI Applications for Startups and Developers” took place from 2:25 p.m. to 3:10 p.m. PT in the Pauley East Breakout Room, where Heather Vancura and Sandeep Agrawal explored how MySQL HeatWave empowers startups and developers to build powerful, scalable generative AI applications. They demonstrated how its built-in vector store, in-database LLMs, and machine learning capabilities streamline complex RAG workflows — eliminating the need for additional databases or ETL processes. The session highlighted how MySQL HeatWave accelerates development, enables real-time data access, and frees up time for greater innovation.
