[NEXT] Founder Day: Building an AI Native Company
Building a venture-scale company has never been easier than it is right now. The tools have changed completely in the last 18 months, and the founders using them well are pulling ahead, not by months, but by quarters.
See your mobile friendly audience runsheet here!
On June 25, we're hosting our [NEXT] Founder Day to put those tools in your hands and what to do with them. We're bringing experts in Notion and Claude Code into one room to show you what the latest generation of tools can actually do, how to use them to ship product faster, and how to wire them into the way you run the business day to day.
Who's this for:
Founders building with AI today who want to sharpen their stack
Technical and non-technical founders, all welcome
Builders looking to get across the latest tools
Three sessions, each designed to give you value.
11:00 – 12:00 | Building an AI-native company, with Darius Monsef. You don't need to write code to run a real company anymore. 3x YC founder, Darius Monsef walks through how he actually builds and runs his company in 2026: where the company's brain lives, who writes the code, and what the founder's job becomes when agents do the building. Live walkthrough and Q&A throughout.
12:00 – 1:00 | Lunch and network
1:00 – 2:00 | Talk to My Agent with Notion, presented by Tim Jeffries. Workspace agents and AI-native operations. Tim walks through how he is setting up real agents to automate the busy work, with examples you can drop straight into your own Notion after the talk.
2:00 – 3:00 | Best Practices for Claude, with Rye Smith, An AI engineer who ships software alongside you. Claude Code Ambassador, Rye Smith, covers what Claude actually unlocks for non-technical founders, from automating workflows that needed a dev team last year, to shipping internal tools without writing code, to turning plain English into working software. Live demos and real examples throughout.
From 3:00 | Open Build, Networking & Partner Connect. We're trialling a new idea we call open build, where we run concurrent sessions, you have your choice of attending these sessions or networking amongst yourselves.
The sessions:
3:15: Sal Samani will walk you through getting the idea, building it, and shipping it using Solana.new.
3:15: Tim Jeffries will answer any questions you have on Notion AI, and work through workspace agents and AI-native ops, bring your laptop and work alongside other founders.

All concluding at 4:15PM.

The Guzzle
We close the day with The Guzzle (our regular open social for founders and builders to hang out, swap notes, and wind down together). For this one, we're adding a twist: select founders will do 2-minute lightning pitches in front of Antler and the wider VC community in the room, the people backing founders building with this stack.
