Devika Table Series (S1)
Devika Table Series: Building Businesses That Scale in the Age of AI
Digital products are still the most powerful way to build and scale a business, but AI has changed the game. More ways to build, more noise, less room for the wrong call. The businesses that win make sharper decisions earlier, across product, technology, go-to-market and capital.
The Devika Table Series brings together 80 of the people building and backing the most interesting companies in the country - founders, C-suite operators and investors - for lunch at Nobu, Crown Sydney. Invite Only.
