The Human Advantage: Building Startups in the Age of AI

​AI is rapidly reshaping how founders work, making it possible to move faster across everything from coding and pitch deck development to customer outreach and research. But as AI becomes embedded in more parts of the startup-building process, a new challenge is emerging: knowing when to leverage AI and when human judgment, creativity, and connection still matter most.

​Where can overreliance on AI diminish the quality of the work rather than improve it? Which responsibilities should founders think twice about delegating to AI? Can AI-generated code introduce new problems into a product? And as AI tools become increasingly accessible to everyone, could distinctly human capabilities become an even greater source of differentiation?

​This conversation will explore how founders can use AI thoughtfully, where common pitfalls arise, and how to strike the right balance between automation and the human touch.
