Alts Hour: AI Teams, Agents, & Operations Dinner
The AI conversation inside most hedge funds is still happening at the wrong level.
It is being driven by technology vendors, not operational leaders. It is focused on investment applications, not the full picture of where AI changes how a firm runs. It is almost entirely missing the question that matters most to the people in this room: not which tools to buy, but how to build the team and the operational architecture that can actually use them.
Arootah is hosting an intimate dinner in Midtown Manhattan for a small group of senior COOs, CTOs, and operational leaders to have that conversation at the right level.
What the evening covers:
→ Building an AI team inside your fund — what the org structure looks like, which roles are genuinely new versus relabeled, and how you hire for competencies that did not exist as a defined career path five years ago
→ AI coworkers and agents — what it means in practice to deploy AI agents alongside human teams, how firms are managing oversight and governance, and where the line is between augmentation and replacement
→ AI as an operational intelligence layer — how leading funds are using AI to look at expenses, vendor relationships, workflow patterns, and operational data to surface recommendations that no human analyst would have the bandwidth to produce
→The decisions hiding in your operational data — cost optimization, headcount modeling, vendor benchmarking, process bottlenecks — and how AI changes who owns those conversations inside the firm.
Format: It is a small dinner with the right people thinking through the same set of problems. The Arootah team brings both operator experience and talent strategy perspective to the conversation.
Who should attend: COOs and CTOs at hedge funds and alternative investment managers. Anyone with AI talent and operational questions and wants to go deeper
An intimate dinner for senior alternatives leaders on building AI teams, deploying AI coworkers and agents, and using AI to improve operational decision-making.
