[Pre-Seed Track] Ship in Weeks, Not Months: How Founders Are Using AI to Build MVPs Investors Take Seriously

​PRE-SEED TRACK · TUESDAY SERIES — Zero to First Revenue

​The bar for what counts as an MVP has changed. The timeline for building one has too. Most founders haven't caught up to either.

​About this event

​Two years ago, a pre-seed MVP could be a Figma prototype and a waitlist. That window is closing fast. Investors in 2026 want to see something working — not because they're unreasonable, but because the tools to build something real in a matter of weeks now exist and are accessible to any technical founder. The excuse of "we're still building" lands differently when your competitor shipped in six weeks with a team of two.

​But the conversation about AI-assisted building has gotten noisy. There's the hype version — where every founder is shipping production-grade products with a few prompts — and there's the reality, which is more nuanced, more interesting, and more useful to actually understand.

​This session cuts through it. A technical founder who has recently shipped an AI-assisted MVP joins Yannick to walk through what the process actually looks like — what they used, where it saved them time, where it introduced risk, and what they'd do differently. We'll also talk about how investors are evaluating AI-native builds right now: what impresses them, what raises flags, and what questions they're asking in technical due diligence that founders aren't prepared for.

​We'll cover:

• ​The actual AI-assisted build stack founders are using to ship MVPs in 2–6 weeks in 2026

• ​Where AI accelerates the build and where it creates technical debt you'll pay for later

• ​How to scope an MVP tightly enough that it's shippable — and still impressive to the right investor

• ​What investors mean when they ask "is this AI-native or AI-enhanced?" — and how to answer it

• ​The due diligence questions showing up in pre-seed technical conversations that founders aren't ready for

​Then we open the floor. Bring your MVP questions, your build timeline, or your stack — the Q&A is live and unfiltered.

​Your guest

​[Guest TBD — confirmed 3 days before the event.] This session features a technical founder or CTO who has built and shipped an AI-assisted MVP in the last 12 months — with real numbers on timeline, cost, and investor reception. No theory. No sponsored tool recommendations. Just what actually happened.

​Format: 25-min conversation · 15-min live Q&A

​Who this is for: B2B SaaS and AI founders at idea or prototype stage who are deciding how to build their MVP — and want a grounded, honest view of what AI changes about that process in 2026.

​YOUR HOST

​Yannick Kpodar is a 2x VP/CMO turned General Partner at Aventra Capital and founder of Full Stack CEO™. Over 15+ years, he's helped B2B SaaS teams raise $396M+, reach unicorn valuation, and scale from single-digit ARR to $45M+ across the US and Europe — at companies including LinkedIn, PayFit, and Amenitiz. He now builds operating systems that give founders investor-grade control over GTM, metrics, and capital without burning themselves or their teams.

​Full Stack CEO™ is the operating system for B2B SaaS & AI founders from first revenue to $25M ARR — GTM, metrics, capital, and leadership built for the age of AI. The community, Labs, and advisory are built around one idea: that the founders who win are the ones who can read the whole system, not just the function they grew up in.

​Members get direct access to a room of serious peers, weekly working sessions with Yannick, and live AMAs with the operators, exited founders, and VCs behind the program.

​Free weekly events run three times a week across three stage-specific tracks: Pre-Seed (Tuesdays), Seed (Wednesdays), and Series A (Thursdays) — each with guests matched to what founders at that stage are actually dealing with.
