Ground Truth: Vertical AI Thesis
🤝 Fireside + Social Mixer on the Vertical AI Thesis
Presented by Together Fund & RapidClaims.
Venue & Community Partner: BHIVE Workspace.
An evening for builders, operators, and investors serious about where applied AI is actually going — beyond the demos, beyond the wrappers.
This is not a conference, a pitch night, or a business-card networking event. It's a focused, high-signal gathering for people who believe the next generation of enduring AI companies will be vertical, workflow-native, and unreasonably obsessed with one domain.
The Mission: Beyond the Wrapper
The first wave of GenAI gave us a thousand "ChatGPT for X" demos. The second wave is quietly killing most of them. The winners aren't the ones with the slickest prompts — they're the ones who went deep into a single workflow, owned the messy edges, and built moats the foundation models can't flatten.
In this session, we unpack the Vertical AI thesis with the team behind RapidClaims — rebuilding the medical coding and revenue cycle stack from the ground up — and Together Fund, one of India's most active early-stage backers of applied AI.
What to Expect
1️⃣ Fireside Conversation — A candid discussion on why deep workflow ownership (data, integrations, compliance, change management) beats horizontal wrappers over a 5-year arc.
2️⃣ The RapidClaims Playbook — Going deep into US healthcare RCM: the wedge, the data loop, and what "ground truth" actually means when accuracy is measured in dollars and audits.
3️⃣ Interactive Q&A — Pattern-matching the next wave of vertical AI winners with Together Fund.
