What Founders Are Actually Doing With AI
Seems like every founder is "leveraging AI to transform our workflow." But here’s the real picture: most early-stage teams are somewhere between cautious experimentation and genuine integration.
Tl;dr Nobody has this completely figured out.
That’s why you should join us for a real discussion between VC backed founders about what's landing, what's not, and what the patterns look like when you zoom out across startups and how they use AI internally. This session is designed to help you move from scattered experimentation to intentional integration.
What We'll Cover
The unsexy AI use cases that are quietly saving founders 5-10 hours a week
Where the "just use ChatGPT" advice falls apart and what's replacing it
What investors are actually asking about AI in due diligence (and what they're not)
The AI implementation mistakes that keep showing up across early-stage teams
Panelists:
