Building, Leading, & Scaling with AI
What does it truly mean to scale with intent and AI?
Growth is often framed around revenue, headcount, and speed. But durable companies are built on more than traction alone. They are shaped by early founder decisions, thoughtful use of technology, strong governance, and leadership that balances ambition with responsibility.
As part of OneEleven’s International Women’s Day initiative, this moderated conversation brings together experienced women leaders from capital, law, and the innovation ecosystem to explore what sustainable growth actually looks like.
This discussion will examine scaling from multiple vantage points — from founder-led growth and AI-enabled sales strategies to governance, structuring, and risk decisions that ultimately determine whether growth lasts.
What we’ll explore:
Founder-led growth and early sales decisions that set the trajectory
AI as leverage — what creates real advantage versus operational noise
Governance, structuring, and risk — what founders often overlook
Leadership at inflection points and building companies that endure
Rather than focusing only on growth tactics, this session will unpack the broader architecture of scale — capital, accountability, resilience, and decision-making under pressure.
Who should attend:
Founders navigating early-stage growth
Operators stepping into leadership roles
Anyone thinking about scaling responsibly and sustainably
Format: Moderated fireside chat + audience Q&A
