Why 95% of Agentic AI Projects Fail: How Founders Build Scalable Products of Agentic AI
AI is reshaping every industry, but most AI pilots fail to deliver measurable profit & loss impact. In fact, only 5% of Agentic AI projects drive rapid revenue acceleration. The reason? They aren’t truly agentic — they can’t act, adapt, or collaborate like real teammates.
Join us for a fireside chat on Agentic AI, where founders and engineers share how to move beyond chatbots and prototypes to build AI agents that deliver real results.
We’ll discuss:
Why traditional RAG chatbots hit a wall
How Agentic AI reshapes workflows and infrastructure
What it takes to make agents reliable and scalable

FounderCoHo is a community where founders support each other by sharing knowledge and building connections. Starting a company is a brave endeavor. Many of us have faced numerous challenges and learned valuable lessons along the way. The founder's journey can feel lonely, as it's difficult to discuss its nuances with those who haven't experienced it firsthand. FounderCoho aims to be that supportive community where founders can share their stories and get fueled for their company-building journey.
