There's No Going Back: Sarah Lacy, Boardy & Andrew D'Souza on the future of AI and VC in 2026
2025 changed everything. What does 2026 look like?
This year, an AI raised its own venture round. It launched a fund. It started making introductions that used to require decades of relationships or being in the right fraternity.
Whether you're a founder trying to get in the room or an investor wondering if the best deals are passing you by, the rules are being rewritten.
Join Boardy, Andrew D'Souza and Sarah Lacy for a year-end conversation on what's shifting, what's coming, and what it means for how founders and investors find each other.
We'll explore:
Why the next fund-returning company might already be in your inbox, growing cold
What happens when every founder gets an unfair advantage, not just the ones who got into YC or went to Stanford
How investors should think about deal flow when AI surfaces what networks used to hide
The human side of building an autonomous AI, and learning to let go
What founders and investors should be thinking about heading into 2026
