Scaling with Intention: Capital, AI & Leadership in a Changing Business Landscape
Join founders, investors, and business leaders from across the Bay Area for an evening of candid conversation, strategic insight, and meaningful connection.
In partnership with the SF Chamber of Commerce and hosted at YesSF, Interlaced presents, Scaling with Intention. An event bringing together leaders navigating growth, AI transformation, cybersecurity risk, and the realities of building in today’s evolving economy.
This isn’t hype.
It’s a practical conversation about what’s changing — and how to stay ahead of it.
For venture-backed founders, it’s reshaping fundraising, product development, and competitive advantage.
For business owners and operators, it’s redefining productivity, workforce planning, security risk, and long-term resilience.
The question isn’t whether AI will impact your company.
It’s how prepared you are to navigate it intentionally.
Scaling with Intention is designed for:
Women founders building and scaling companies
Investors backing the next generation of growth-stage leaders
Business owners and Chamber members evaluating how AI and cybersecurity are reshaping the broader landscape
Together, we’ll explore AI through three critical lenses:
Safety – Cybersecurity, governance, compliance, and protecting your organization
Productivity – Operational leverage, automation, and enabling teams to work smarter
Monetization – Unlocking new revenue streams and competitive differentiation
This event is an homage to International Women’s Month, celebrating the women building, backing, and leading across industries — from high-growth startups to established businesses shaping the Bay Area economy.
Program Coming Soon.
