Founders vs VCs: Agent Wars
Who can build the best AI agent in two hours - founders or investors?
Join Antler, SVV, and Alludium on Wednesday, 22 July for a fast, slightly chaotic and fun evening build sprint: Founders vs VCs.
Teams of three will go head-to-head with AI-focused investors to build a working agent and ship something real in just 120 minutes. Bring a laptop, your own tools, and come ready to build. You can arrive with a teammate, or come solo and get paired on the night.
Expect a hands-on evening of building, testing and comparing the AI agents founders and investors can create in two hours. Challenges will be provided for anyone short on inspiration or long on competitive spirit.
This marks the first community event connected to AgenticInvestor.org, designed to get the investor community experimenting with AI agents.
