AI-Native Founders — An Evening with Wajo
About Event
For the 10-person teams building the next unicorn.
The best companies of the next decade will be built by small teams operating at a scale that used to require hundreds. This dinner is for the founders doing exactly that.
We're bringing together a small group of pre-seed and seed founders and designers in SF during Figma Config week.
The ones building AI-native from day one, moving fast with lean teams, and figuring out how to punch above their weight with agents and automation.
The conversation will center on what it actually looks like to build and operate this way in 2026:
- How small teams are replacing entire functions with AI
- Where the real operational leverage is hiding
- What AI-native looks like across hiring, product, and GTM
- The tools and workflows that actually move the needle
- What separates the teams that figure this out from the ones that don't
No panels. No slides. Just a small room, a good conversation, and people who are deep in it.
Because the frontier isn't just smarter models. It's founders who know how to use them — and build companies around them.
