SF: AGI · MONEY · LOVE
San Francisco Founders Survival Guide
AGI · MONEY · LOVE
San Francisco is where people come to build the future. But when the future is changing this fast, how do you actually survive it?
AGI — What do we build next?
Where is AGI heading? What happens when frontier models hit diminishing returns—and what will model companies build next? How do startups avoid getting wiped out by the next model update? What is still worth building, and where will durable opportunities emerge?
MONEY — How do we survive and allocate capital?
Where does money come from—and where should it go? How should founders raise in this market? How should VCs invest in the AI era? As AI replaces more human labor, how should companies allocate capital between people, models, compute, and agents? And how much runway do you actually need to survive SF?
LOVE — Who do we build life with?
When startups, fundraising, and AI consume most of our waking hours, which relationships are actually worth investing in? Co-founders, friends, partners—how do you find people who can survive your startup, survive your pivot, and maybe even survive AGI with you?
AGI decides what we build. MONEY decides how long we can keep building. LOVE decides who we want beside us.
SF: AGI · MONEY · LOVE brings together founders, VCs, builders, and researchers living through this transition.
No panels with rehearsed answers.
We bring the questions. You bring your opinions.
Come argue, question, meet people, and figure it out together.
How do we survive SF—and what kind of life are we actually building?
