​Part of Amsterdam Tech Week 2026 · June 16–19.

The session is hosted by the team behind Thred, the agentic accounting and finance platform built for modern startups — alongside founders and operators actively building in the ecosystem.

​AI has made building products easier than ever. But turning prototypes into actual companies is still incredibly hard.

​Beyond Vibe Coding is a curated founder session during Amsterdam Tech Week focused on what happens after the demo: getting users, building sustainable operations, finding distribution, pricing AI products, and creating businesses people actually pay for.

​We’re bringing together founders, operators, and builders for tactical conversations around:

• ​shipping products fast with AI

• ​moving from MVP to revenue

• ​distribution & GTM for AI startups

• ​AI-native operations and workflows

• ​founder mistakes, lessons, and scaling realities

• ​building durable businesses in the AI era

​The format is intentionally interactive:
short lightning talks, founder discussions, practical insights, and open networking with people actively building.

​Expect a room full of:

• ​early-stage founders

• ​AI builders

• ​technical and non-technical operators

• ​startup teams experimenting with AI-native products and workflows

​Whether you’re building your first AI startup, scaling an existing product, or figuring out how to turn rapid prototyping into a real company, this session is designed to connect you with founders facing the same challenges.

​We’re intentionally keeping the event founder-focused and discussion-heavy to maximize meaningful conversations and connections.
