The CTO Decisions That Compound - Delhi NCR Edition by Venture Catalysts++ x Databricks
The CTO Decisions That Compound by Venture Catalysts++ in association with Databricks
The architecture decisions that hurt at Series B are often made at Seed.
Ship now. Fix it later.
Every early-stage founder has made that trade. And often, it's the right call.
The problem is knowing which shortcuts are reversible — and which ones quietly become architecture.
The security question you can't answer when the first enterprise customer arrives. The data pipeline that worked for 10 customers but struggles at 100. The infrastructure bill that grows faster than usage. The rebuild that suddenly eats two quarters.
The expensive rebuild rarely starts when you scale. It usually starts with a reasonable technical decision made two years earlier.
On 24 July, Venture Catalysts++ is bringing selected 15 founders , CTOs and large enterprise leaders around one table to talk about those decisions.
No stage. No slides. No pitches.
An off-the-record conversation around architecture that survives scale, enterprise-ready AI systems, security and governance, infrastructure costs, and the technical decisions founders wish they'd made differently.
Joining the table is Prashant Dagar, Director – Field Engineering (Global Accounts) at Databricks and Ananth Balasubramanium - Field Engineering Leader - Enterprise Digital Natives.
Eligible portfolio companies will also be supported in exploring the Databricks for Startups program, including up to $50,000 in platform credits and technical advisory, subject to program eligibility.
Chatham House rules. What's said in the room stays in the room.
