Thank you,
Mariane Bekker
We built this to say thank you. Everything on it is public and cited, and none of it came from anywhere you did not put it yourself.
She describes her work as building the infrastructure for the agentic AI startup ecosystem, through community, content and developer relations.
Mariane Bekker is Head of Developer Relations at You.com, a title carried on her byline on the company's own publication. She is also the founder of Founders Bay, which describes itself as one of the largest AI founder communities in Silicon Valley, running monthly AI Breakfast with VCs events in San Francisco, quarterly founder dinners and summits, and curating thirty to sixty Bay Area tech events a week.
Her own account of the background is specific: over a decade in engineering leadership, four startup exits, and more than two hundred events hosted connecting the ecosystem in San Francisco and beyond.

This page exists to say thank you for showing up and doing the work in public. Every claim on it is cited below and checkable. The fuller picture our research put together is not published here, and will not be. It is yours the moment you claim it.

This name is held for you.
This name is held for you, not by us. Claim it and the fuller model we researched becomes yours, on your own storage, for you to correct or delete.
There is more we found than is shown here. It is not published and it will not be. It is yours when you claim it.
Sign in and it is yours.
Mariane, one tap is all this takes. Use an account you already have and @mariane-bekker is yours. Nothing new to sign up for, and no password to invent.
Signing in only proves the name is yours. Nothing is posted anywhere, nothing is shared, and it stays free.
Your 🤫 ID in Apple Wallet
Both cards, your spaceID and your 🤫 ID, are designed to live in Apple Wallet and Google Wallet so a check-in is a tap rather than a form.
Not yet issuable. A pass has to be signed with an Apple Pass Type ID certificate, and we do not hold one yet. The pass itself is built and waiting; we would rather say so than show you a button that quietly fails.
Not happy this exists?
Ask us to take this down and it goes, the same day, with nothing kept. Tell us and it is gone.
