​Founder Series | Do I need AI in my startup… or just a clear customer?

​Event Description: A lot of founders are feeling pressure to “add AI” - even when they’re not sure it actually helps their product.

​This session is a grounded conversation about focus, signal vs. noise, and how to make decisions without chasing trends.

​We’ll talk openly about:

• ​When AI actually matters

• ​When it’s a distraction

• ​How investors are really thinking about this

​This is for you if:

• ​You feel behind because your startup isn’t “AI-first”

• ​You’re unsure what actually matters right now

• ​You want clarity, not hype

​About this space: Our sessions are intentionally not recorded so people can speak honestly.

​You’re welcome to share general lessons or insights you take away on social but please don’t attribute comments or stories to specific people.

​Participation looks different for everyone:

• ​You’re welcome to speak, ask questions in chat, or just listen

• ​Cameras are optional

• ​Listening counts as participating

​This is a global space. Different accents, levels of English, time zones, and startup contexts are all expected here.

​These conversations help shape future resources (writing, courses, tools) - the goal is to reflect what founders are actually experiencing, not what startup media says you should be experiencing.

​If you’re dealing with this right now, showing up live really does matter.
