Eric Ries and Boardy on Building an Incorruptible Startup in The World of AI: Moderated by Andrew D'Souza
What happens when the person who taught the world to build fast turns his attention to building right?
Join Boardy and Eric Ries, bestselling author of The Lean Startup and co-founder of Answer.AI, for an intimate conversation on building an incorruptible startup in the world of AI, followed by a live Q&A. Eric's upcoming book, Incorruptible: Why Good Companies Go Bad…and How Great Companies Stay Great, is out May 26. Moderated by Andrew D'Souza, creator of Boardy.
The Lean Startup gave a generation of founders the tools to build valuable companies. Incorruptible asks the harder question: how do you protect them? Eric argues that mission isn't a nice-to-have or a branding exercise, it's a strategic operating system. And the data backs it up. Companies like Novo Nordisk, Costco, and Anthropic show that when purpose leads, performance follows.
In this conversation, Boardy and Eric will explore:
• Why mission-driven companies outperform over the long run
• How founders can architect purpose into their company from day one, not as an afterthought
• Eric's reimagined definition of profit, and why it changes everything
• The forces that corrupt mission as companies scale, and how to resist them
• What AI changes about building with integrity
Whether you're pre-product or post-Series A, this is the conversation for founders who didn't start a company just to build a company.
