Lunch + AI Build: Agents for Ambitious Founders
Build more without hiring more.
You started your company to build something big — not to drown in admin, repetitive tasks, and operational drag.
Join us for an intensive, hands-on workshop in partnership with Encode Club, where you'll learn how to deploy Day One Agents that act as your ultimate AI Co-Founder.
Whether you're chasing product-market fit, prepping for your next fundraise, or trying to scale without scaling headcount — this session is your unfair advantage.
Bring a real startup problem
You bring your biggest operational headache. We'll help you turn it into a working AI agent before you leave the room.
Who's this for?
This session is designed for the ambitious, fast-moving founders who want to stay lean, move faster, and build more leverage into their company from day one.
You'll learn where agents genuinely create value across sales, research, fundraising, operations, and customer workflows, and where the hype still gets ahead of reality.
Turn AI into your operating system
By the end of the evening, you'll know how to think about AI agents as part of your startup's operating system, not just another chatbot.
You'll leave with a practical framework for identifying high-leverage workflows, designing useful agents, and applying them directly to your company.
What you'll learn
Extend your runway: Automate sales, research, and resource-heavy admin tasks for a fraction of the cost.
Pitch with confidence: Show VCs you're a highly leveraged, efficient founder capable of scaling without unnecessary headcount.
Ship immediately: Leave with a custom, ready-to-use agent built around your specific startup challenge.
