Complex AI Deployments
Some AI deployments are particularly complex. Real-world enterprise environments involve messy data, brittle systems, edge cases, and real organizational constraints.
We are hosting a private breakfast for a small group of founders and operators building and deploying complex AI systems in production. This is a peer discussion focused on what works in practice, common mistakes to avoid, and the realities of shipping AI into demanding environments.
This session expands on a guide we recently published on the FDE role for startups, including why it is not a good idea for most companies.
Who should join
Founders building complex AI products: Learn how others are deploying AI with real customers, understand common failure modes, and meet potential high-caliber FDE hires.
Forward Deployed Engineers: Compare how the role is structured across companies, learn what works and what does not, and connect with peers facing similar on-the-ground challenges.
Attendance is limited to 15 people
