“Seek Pain” | How Replit has grown in the age of AI
Join us for a conversation with Haya Odeh, founder of Replit, on building products and organizations in moments of rapid change.
Moderated by Michael Sippey (former CPO of Medium, VP of Product at Twitter), we will explore what it means to intentionally choose difficulty as a leadership principle, and how embracing friction can shape better decisions, stronger teams, and more resilient companies.
We'll cover topics like:
• How AI is transforming the way software is built and how that shift is redefining roles across product, design, and engineering.
• How expanding access to powerful tools changes not just who can build, but how companies think about users, ownership, and impact.
The conversation will range from founder mindset to org design to personal craft, with space for open reflection and audience questions. This event is for anyone thinking about leadership, building, and decision-making in an AI-driven world.
