[AI-powered BD] Office Hour | Ryan Tang (Dealight AI) [SIT SV Hub Member Only]

​Office Hour｜AI-Powered Business Development & GTM

​About the Session

​In today’s Silicon Valley ecosystem, business development is no longer just about hustle, personal networks, or manual outreach.

​AI has moved directly into the front lines of sales and go-to-market execution — not for making slides or writing generic copy, but for identifying the right prospects, timing outreach, crafting first-touch messages, and systematically moving conversations forward.

​This Office Hour is designed for founders and operators who want to understand how AI is actually being used to scale outbound, inbound, and partnership development — beyond experimentation and into repeatable workflows.

​Rather than abstract theory, this session focuses on how modern teams combine AI-driven outbound, inbound marketing, and sales operations into a single, coherent growth system.

​Topics You May Consult On

• ​Using AI to identify and prioritize the right prospects

• ​Applying AI to outbound sales and partnership workflows

• ​How modern teams integrate AI into BD, inbound, and GTM stacks

• ​Evaluating Dealight AI for real-world BD execution

• ​Common mistakes when teams try to “add AI” without changing process

​Who Should Attend

• ​Founders responsible for revenue, partnerships, or GTM strategy

• ​Teams with a strong product but inconsistent outbound results

• ​Operators exploring scalable approaches to sales and BD

• ​Founders who want practical signal, not tool hype

​Advisor

​Ryan Tang
CEO, Dealight AI

​Ryan previously worked at Google and later founded Dealight AI to focus on one problem: making outbound business development scalable through AI.

​Rather than simple automation, his work combines LLMs, machine learning, and data analysis to answer three core questions: who to contact, when to reach out, and how to start the conversation. This approach reflects the current direction of Silicon Valley’s sales and GTM tooling — measurable, system-driven, and execution-focused.

​During this Office Hour, Ryan will not only discuss his product, but also walk through how leading teams structure AI-powered BD, inbound, and outbound workflows today.
