Office Hours with Titan CTOs — Episode 1 ft. Abhilasha from Heizen

​Office Hours with Titan CTOs is a monthly webinar where a CTO from a Titan Capital portfolio company answers the technical questions early founders actually lose sleep over. No fundraising talk. No GTM. Just product & engineering.

​Episode 1 features Abhilasha, CTO of Heizen, in conversation with Manik Pasricha, VP of Investments at Titan Capital.

​This is built for pre-seed and seed founders making the architecture and AI decisions that are hard to reverse later. Submit your question when you register.

​What we'll cover:

1. ​AI-native thinking. Designing products where the model is the core, not a feature. Build versus buy on models. Treating evals as a real discipline. Where defensibility comes from when models are a commodity.

2. ​The technology stack. Architecture at seed stage, the data and database layer, identity and access, the orchestration layer, API strategy including MCP, and keeping infra sane on a small team.

3. ​A vertical deep-dive matched to Abhilasha's domain at Heizen.

​Format: 60 minutes. A short opener from Abhilasha, then curated Q&A, then a few live audience questions.

​Who should attend: Pre-seed and seed founders building tech-first companies. Anyone can attend. Only registrants who submit a question are in the running to have it selected.

​How it works:

1. ​Register and submit one technical question (300 characters).

2. ​Titan curates 5 to 6 questions 48 hours before the session.

3. ​Selected questions go to Abhilasha in advance.

4. ​Titan moderates live. A few audience questions taken from chat at the end.
