Zero to $50M ARR: Fireside Chat with Genspark COO, Wen Sang
What does it take to be an overnight success?
Everyone’s talking about the next big breakout.
But behind every “overnight success” is a hundred sleepless nights - of experiments, mistakes, and moments that almost broke you.
In this new era of AI, the pace is wild. Founders, builders, and creatives are sprinting into the unknown - trying to build something that matters before the moment passes. But what actually separates the hype from the real thing?
Event Description
Join Wen Sang, Co-Founder and COO of Genspark.ai, for an evening of conversation, experimentation, and connection.
We’ll talk about what really happened behind Genspark's breakout growth (to $50M ARR in <5 months), the people who made it possible, and what this new wave of AI tools means for how we think, plan, and build.
You’ll also get 1,000 free credits to try Genspark yourself - pull out your phone, write a prompt, and solve a problem right there.

Why this matters
AI is moving faster than any of us expected. The question isn’t just how to keep up - it’s what kind of world we want to build while we do.
Let’s slow down for one evening to learn from the real stories, meet the people behind the progress, and build together with intention.
