AI Agent Founder Dinner: Google / Stripe
An intimate dinner with the top AI Agent founders in the Bay Area.
This Thursday we will be joined by two guests who help startups unlock distribution and monetization through two of the biggest platforms in tech:
Jon Chong, Strategic Partnerships Lead at Google DeepMind. Jon helps startups partner with Google, from Google Play distribution to broader ecosystem opportunities.
Alex Xue, Account Executive at Stripe. Alex helps startups partner with Stripe to monetize, scale payments, and plug into agentic commerce.
This event is ticketed as there is limited capacity. Tickets cover dinner, drinks and appetizers at the restaurant.
We will be following the following topics and more:
How to actually get a partnership with Google or Stripe: who to talk to, what they look for, and what makes a startup partner-ready
Distribution through platforms: using Google Play and the Google ecosystem to reach users without burning your entire budget on paid acquisition
Monetization and agentic commerce: pricing AI products, scaling payments, and preparing for a world where agents transact on your behalf
Where AI agents are creating real workflow value today
What enterprise buyers are actually willing to pay for
