Is Your Startup One Announcement Away From Irrelevant?
OpenAI ships. Anthropic ships. Google ships. And sometimes — they ship your product.
This event is for anyone building with AI who's asked themselves: is what I'm building defensible, or am I one changelog away from being obsolete?
We'll give you a framework to answer it honestly — and together.
What we'll cover:
The difference between a feature and a company — and how to tell which one you're building
How to identify your actual moat: is it your data, your workflow, or your trust?
What "platform risk" really means and how to stress-test your idea against it
How to build for a world where the floor keeps moving
What to expect:
A practical framework you can apply to your own product or idea
Open discussion with founders, builders, and operators who are wrestling with the same questions
Networking with the community that's actually building
