FDE Weekend

​FDE Weekend: discover value, sell the vision and ship AI in 24 hours.

​Models are a commodity. Deployment is the hard part.

​A forward-deployed engineer (FDE) is one person who can build the system, read the economics of a process and earn the trust of the people who will use it. Few people get to practise all three at once. This weekend you will.

​Who it’s for

• ​Engineers who want more business exposure.

• ​Product Managers with strong technical backgrounds.

​You need a technical base. This isn’t an intro for career switchers.

What you’ll do

​You’ll work in small teams on one real business case:

• ​Engineering: Integrate systems, handle messy data and design AI workflows.

• ​Business: Find the real bottleneck and quantify the value of fixing it.

• ​Relationships: Listen to operators, convince decision-makers and drive change.

​Schedule

• ​Friday [27 Nov], evening: kickoff, case intro, dinner and drinks.

• ​Saturday [28 Nov], all day: discovery, build and final pitch. Lunch included.

​What to bring

• ​Your laptop.

• ​Appetite. Food and drinks are included 😁

• ​The coding agent you already use.

​Who’s running it

• ​Diogo Guerner, CEO of Naviu

• ​João Freitas, CEO of Carrybase

• ​Gui, CEO of Pitanga Labs

​Places are limited to 20.
