​Join our expert-led virtual roundtable with Findem, HV Capital, and Earlybird to see how platform teams are using AI to automate manual work and extend support across a growing portfolio.

​In this session, platform leaders will unpack how they're building internal tooling, automating repetitive portfolio company requests, and applying AI to areas like talent, ops, and data support, without scaling headcount at the same rate.

​Discussion Points:

• ​Where platform teams are seeing the highest-value automation wins today, and which workflows are still resistant to it

• ​Build vs. buy: how platform teams decide when to build internal tools versus adopt vendor platforms like Findem

• ​Scaling platform support across a growing portfolio without proportional headcount growth

• ​What metrics platform teams use to show partners and portfolio companies the tooling is actually working

• ​How platform team responsibilities are shifting as AI absorbs more of the manual work

​Join us for this session from operators building platform functions for the AI era.
