AI Education | Why We Built This: 3 Founders and Their Raw Decisions
Why Founder's built is truly the purpose behind the madness.
We're bringing early-stage AI founders into a focused 60 to 90-minute conversation about how they identified a real problem, decided it was worth solving, and built around what people actually use.
Who's Joining Us
Founder #1: Kaisa Vaittinen, Flag Tracker
Founder #2: Joe McCann, AI FO
What We'll Cover
Each founder gets 25 minutes of focused discussion around:
The gap they saw and why they believed they could close it
What they chose to build first, and what was deliberately left out
How they approached building it
What changed once real users touched the product
Format
90 minutes. Three founders. One moderator. A short synthesis at the end to connect the threads. Open Q&A with each.
Who this is for
Builders who want to understand how early AI product decisions actually get made, not a panel on where AI is headed. Walk away with
How to spot real problems
How to consider the early wedge
How much to build before feedback
How to consider timing when it's early
