Vertical AI: Go Deep or Go Home

​Vertical AI is quietly transforming the world, an industry at a time - expanding TAMs, collapsing workflows, and creating winner-take-most opportunities.

​We're bringing together early stage founders, industry operators and pre-seed investors for an intimate, interactive discussion to unpack what it really takes to build and win in vertical AI.

​What we'll discuss:

​→ Why now: how AI is massively expanding vertical TAMs

​→ Vertical AI vs. horizontal AI and modern moats

​→ How to pick your vertical - real experiences, real trade-offs

​→ How to pick your founding team - do you need industry insiders to win? 

​→ Pricing, packaging and the path from demos to domain contracts

​→ Vertical AI vs. vertical SaaS - what’s changed, and can incumbents fight back?

​Panelists
