About Event

AI has made it easier than ever to build. Has it made it easier to actually found a company?

This panel brings together three people seeing that question from different sides. Rob Blaine, Co-Founder of TNT, has watched hundreds of student founders come through his community at MIT and Harvard. Artem Lukoianov left research at Google DeepMind and Meta to co-found Autolab while finishing his PhD at MIT CSAIL. Brian Devaney is a Partner at Underscore VC, where he backs early-stage founders bringing AI to legacy industries.

We'll get into what a moat even means when everyone has the same tools, whether AI is closing or widening the gap between technical and non-technical builders, and the parts of building a company that don't show up on LinkedIn.

Join us for a conversation on what it actually takes to build, instead of defaulting into, a company today. Hosted in partnership with Underscore VC.
