SVB × TeamLift: AI Implementation Framework for Founders & Investors
AI tools are everywhere. Knowing which ones to use, how to connect them, and what actually impacts KPIs is the hard part.
This workshop gives you two things: a framework for thinking about AI implementation and a clear progression model so you know exactly what your next step can be.
The Implementation Framework
Successful AI adoption requires both:
Top-Down: Leadership setting direction, making infrastructure decisions, establishing governance
Bottom-Up: Team members experimenting, finding wins, building capability
We’ll show you how to balance both.
The 5 Levels of AI Maturity
Your roadmap with example use cases at each level:
Level 1 - LLMs: Prompting for one-off tasks
Level 2 - Custom GPTs: AI trained on a specific workflows and context
Level 3 - Connectors: Unlocking ability to browse, analyze files, and pull data
Level 4 - Automations: Workflows that run end-to-end via Make.com or Zapier
Level 5 - Autonomous Agents: AI operating independently across your entire system
What You’ll Walk Away With:
A framework to assess where to focus, live demos of AI in action, tested tools you can implement.
As part of this event, TeamLift will award one attending company a 1:1 customized AI Fundamentals Curriculum tailored specifically to their industry and business needs.
Breakfast will be served. Location details will be shared upon confirmation.
Arrive with imagination and leave understanding how your AI vision can be brought to life.
