Mixture of Experts | Activate & Bhavin Turakhia
Welcome to the latest edition of Mixture of Experts by Activate! Mixture of Experts is our intimate gathering of AI founders, engineers and industry leaders, where we dive deep into a focused theme, spark meaningful conversations around building in the AI ecosystem, and connect with peers building the future of AI.
Mixture of Experts: Mastering Unit Economics & Building High-Margin AI Platforms brings together a curated group of founders, AI engineers and technical leaders. As AI startups navigate brutal gross margin pressures driven by compute costs, GPU overhead and API dependencies, this evening is designed for deep conversations and tactical playbooks on turning raw AI capabilities into defensible, high-margin, enterprise-grade platforms.
Our special guest for the evening is Bhavin Turakhia, the serial tech entrepreneur behind Neo, Zeta, Radix and Titan. A masterclass in capital efficiency and first-principles execution, his career spans multiple companies bootstrapped to meaningful scale before raising external capital. His entrepreneurial journey includes Directi (which was built to significant size before a $160M transaction), Titan (valued at approximately $300M) and Zeta (valued at approximately $2B). He is currently building Neo, an AI-native work platform launched in July 2026 with $30M of his own capital. Across a multi-decade career in domain infrastructure, technology and fintech, Bhavin has consistently demonstrated how disciplined execution and strong unit economics build enduring businesses at scale.
This session will be moderated by our host Pratyush Choudhury, Founder of Activate.
