Founding CTOs (NYC): Do You Trust Your Agentic Engineers?
ONLY for founding CTOs of venture fund[ed|able] startups with <10 engineers (agents don't count!). We also accept highly technical CEOs of 0..1 startups.
Founding CTOs is an invite only Gather.dev community, curated by Peter Bell.
Join our community of Founding CTOs on Tuesday May 19th at 4:30pm in NoMad as we dig into the verification layer for AI-generated code.
Last month we talked about building a software factory. This month we're asking: how do you trust the code that it produces?
As Founding CTOs, this hits us hardest. There's no team to catch what we miss. But verification isn't just "does it pass tests?" It's functionality, security, performance, scalability, maintainability, and constraints you hadn't thought through yet.
This month we'll dig into testing strategies, automated validation, and practical approaches for using agents to evaluate AI-generated code, so you can run your factory at full speed without being the last line of defense on every PR.
Whether you've built a verification pipeline or you're still reviewing everything yourself, this should be a great conversation.
After setting the context we'll be breaking into groups of our closest peers to share our challenges and our wins and to come up with practical next steps for building trust in our agentic workflows.

4:30pm Arrival
