Building AI-Native Startups [006]
Online workshop for AI-native builders.
No slides. No theory. Only live demos.
Founders and operators screen-share the workflows actually running their companies: the agents, the harnesses, the org structures, and the parts that break. Real screens, real terminals, in real time.
What it is
A 90-minute live workshop. Three builders each get 15 to 20 minutes to demo one thing they genuinely run day to day, followed by live Q&A. We run these every two weeks.
Who it's for
Founders, solopreneurs and operators rebuilding how they and their companies work around AI. If you are shipping agents in production, or working out what to build next, this is the room.
What's inside
3 × 15-20 min screen-share demos of real, in-production work
Live Q&A after each one
Recording shared with everyone who registers
Why attend live
The demos get published afterwards. The Q&A does not, and that is where the specifics come out: what it cost, what broke, what they tried first and threw away.
Public, free, no sponsors, no ads, no pitches.
SPEAKERS
Tim Sehn — Founder & CEO, DoltHub
Demo: Building DoltLite
DoltLite started as a lark: how far could a Gas Town-powered team of agents get in a week, building an embedded version of Dolt as a fork of SQLite? Six months and 2,000 PRs later, DoltLite is in beta and one of DoltHub's core products. Tim built it as his part-time job while running the company.
A week in Gas Town: from an empty fork to a working SQLite with Git-style branches and merges.
Where a swarm of parallel agents helped, and where it became one-on-one work with a single agent.
Why tests did the reviewing: SQLite's own test suite and nightly benchmarks as the agents' guardrails.
Running a 2,000-PR codebase as a CEO's part-time job.
Tim Sehn is the founder and CEO of DoltHub, the version-controlled database company behind Dolt, Doltgres and DoltLite. He spent ten years at Amazon, rising from intern to Director across Amazon Retail and AWS, then was Snap's first VP of Engineering, growing the core engineering team from 10 to 1,050 in four years.

Adel Ahmadyan — Founder, VoHuman
Demo: Agentastic.dev, the AI software factory
How Agentastic.dev turns software development into an AI factory: long-horizon managers orchestrating many coding agents working in parallel across real projects.
Managers that own high-level objectives, break them into tasks and delegate to specialized agents.
Keeping context across projects while work moves from specification to implementation, code review, integration and shipping.
What changes when you go from a coding agent with a human in the loop to managing a factory of autonomous agents.
A redesigned "agentic activity feed", built for the humans running the factory.
Adel Ahmadyan is the founder of VoHuman, the AI lab behind Agentastic. He holds a PhD in machine learning and previously worked at Meta Reality Labs and Google Research. His research focuses on collective intelligence and long-horizon multi-agent systems.

Yoeven D Khemlani — Co-founder & CEO, Interfaze
Demo: Hiring with AI without losing great candidates
How Interfaze hires with AI in the loop without losing great candidates to automated screening, and without letting fake candidates through.
Yoeven D Khemlani is co-founder and CEO of Interfaze (YC Spring 2026), an AI model built for deterministic tasks such as OCR, structured data extraction and speech-to-text. He has spent eight years in ML and edge computer vision, and Interfaze is his second company.

About cyber•Fund and the Monastery
cyber•Fund has been investing since 2014 and backs AI-native founders. The Monastery is our accelerator for teams building AI-native from day one: $2M uncapped, 5%, a three-month program, built on the idea that focus is a founder's scarcest resource. We will say how to apply at the end of the session.
