AI Breakfast Club
You get pitched on AI every week. This is the opposite.
The AI Breakfast Club is a free, live, weekly room for founders, CEOs, COOs, CFOs, and operators of small and mid-size companies who want clarity without the hype - what's important for your company, what isn't, and what's actually worth it.
2nd & 4th Thursdays · 9:00-10:00 AM ET · on Gatherly
Not a slide deck. Not a product demo. Walk in, pull up a chair, talk with the host and the people in the room. Come with the problem on your desk.
What we talk about
Trust and data - what goes into AI tools, who sees it, how you keep your data yours
Shadow AI - tools your team is already using that nobody approved
The real cost of AI - what it actually costs to run, and whether it's worth it
What's new, without the noise - new tools and innovations, in plain English: what's real, what's not
Conversations with executives - leaders from larger companies join us from time to time to share how they're handling the same questions
Who you'll meet
This is the part most AI events get wrong - and the reason our members come back. This is a room of peers, not an audience: founders, CEOs, and executives from companies like yours, all figuring out the same decisions at the same time.
Talk, don't watch. The room is spatial - you move around, join live conversations, and meet people face-to-face. No chat boxes, no broadcast mode.
Peers at your level. You'll be introduced to other founders and executives who get it - the ones making the same calls on AI, budgets, and risk that you are.
Relationships that continue. The conversation doesn't end at 9 AM. Members connect after sessions, compare notes between Thursdays, and bring each other back.
Networking built into the hour. After the main conversation, the room opens up - grab a table, join a smaller circle, and talk with whoever's in the room that morning.
How it works: 45 minutes of conversation, then 15 minutes open networking with the room.
Host: Eric Delisle - 35 years building technology. Previously founded a cybersecurity company on one idea: your data is yours.
Anyone is welcome. Curious and not sure where to start? Pull up a chair.
Free. Live. Every 2nd & 4th Thursday of the month.
