Day Zero III: Everyone got faster. Nothing shipped sooner x Sohrab Hosseini, Orq.ai.
Why coding agents did not fix your release cadence.
Coding agents write in an afternoon what used to take a week. But the pull request still waits two days for review, staging still breaks, and one person still has to say yes before anything goes live. The code got faster. Everything around it didn't.
With Sohrab Hosseini, co-founder and CEO of Orq.ai
Orq sits between hundreds of teams and the models they build on, so Sohrab sees exactly where work stalls on the way to production. At 18:00 he takes thirty minutes on where the time actually goes, then builds with the room.
Bring your agent problems
The one that only works on your laptop. The eval you don't trust. The approval step everyone quietly routes around. You spend the evening cutting one step out of your path to production, and you show it working before you leave.

What to expect & Who's it for
Bring a laptop and one real problem. No deck, no pitching, no jury. Sohrab and our team build alongside you all evening.
Founders, pre-seed to seed, commercial, domain expert or technical, with an agent in or near production. Curated, not first come. Apply with one line on the problem you want to solve.
Builders is an AI venture studio in Rotterdam. We co-found AI-native companies with founders instead of writing cheques. Day Zero is that model, one evening a month.
