Organizational Transformation Using AI
The next phase of AI transformation is not just about tools. It is about capital, go‑to‑market systems, and how companies build and deliver products.
Following our March session on organizational transformation, this event continues the conversation with a deeper look at how AI is reshaping investment, go‑to‑market strategies, and software development.
This gathering will bring together founders, investors, operators, and technology leaders to explore how companies are adapting to the AI era.
Panelists will be announced soon.
The 4Cs of the Founder Ecosystem
Enduring companies are built where four forces intersect: Capital, Competencies, Customers, and Cities.
East Bay Founders exists to intentionally and repeatedly bring these forces together — creating the conditions for companies to start, scale, and succeed.
