How founders can use AI safely and effectively to grow their business.
This is part of the Female Founders Rise Summer School for Founders. Check out our other summer sessions here.
Most founders are using AI the same way they'd use a new hire on day one - throwing tasks at it and hoping something sticks. Some of it works. But without a clear sense of where AI actually creates leverage, and where it introduces risk, founders end up either under-using it (still doing repetitive work by hand) or over-using it (automating things that should stay human, or building workflows that quietly create compliance exposure).
The founders who get real value from AI aren't the ones with the biggest tech budgets or a technical team on staff. They're the ones who've worked out where AI genuinely saves time versus where it erodes judgement, voice, and customer trust - and who've built that understanding into how they operate, safely and compliantly, from day one.
In this Summer School masterclass, Cien Solon - founder of LaunchLemonade, a secure AI agents platform helping B2B and regulated teams deploy governed AI agents with visibility, control, and auditability, and an AI strategist and product leader with over a decade of experience across high-growth startups, enterprise, and digital product innovation - will show you how to use AI safely and effectively to grow your business.
This session is particularly geared towards founders without a technical team, though the principles apply to anyone building AI into how their business runs.
