What the F is Full-stack AI? Investor, Tech Lead & Founder Perspectives

​Full-stack AI has been the hot topic since YC spotlighted it 7 months ago in its Request for Startups. Yet there is still no consensus in the ecosystem on what it really means. It’s tiiiiiime (a pinch of Christmas mood) to fix that.

​Join us for a lively discussion where we break down what full-stack AI really means from three essential perspectives: investor, technical lead, and founder.

​Here’s what we’ll cover:

​🔹 Technology & market landscape with Nikita Yuriev, Managing Partner at ULTRA.VC
What full-stack AI actually is, why this architecture matters, which industries are most likely to be reshaped, what opportunities are emerging, and what risks founders face if they ignore this shift.

​🔹 How we got here & what’s coming next with Anton Sukhonosenko, Matter Product Lead at JetBrains
How technological progress made full-stack AI companies feasible, how the full-stack paradigm is evolving, and which developer tools are enabling the next generation of AI-native products.

​🔹 From traditional stack to full-stack AI: a founder’s playbook with Roman Ishchenko, Co-founder at Raised
Lessons from pivoting into a full-stack AI company, key challenges of the transition, what changes in product and team dynamics, and a practical playbook for founders moving in the same direction.

​We’ll wrap up with an open Q&A where you can share your own experience and ask the speakers for practical guidance.
