Invitation only 15 seats Approval required
For leaders of Series A+ startups building proprietary AI models, with a select number of seats reserved for investors.
This is a roundtable, not a panel: everyone at the table is welcome to bring opinions.
Some of the investors in the room:
Merck Global Health Innovation Fund (GHI Fund)
Presidio Ventures (Sumitomo Corporation)
Morgan Stanley Ventures Lab
Description:
When AI compresses engineering cycles from months to days, the scarcest thing in a startup is no longer the ability to build.
It's knowing what to build, for whom, & how to win when everyone can ship.
That shift rewrites the founder's job. Moats move from code to data, distribution, & judgment. Team shapes change. Capital efficiency changes what "venture scale" even means.
The playbooks most of us learned are quietly going out of date, & the new ones are being written right now, by the people in rooms like this one.
The evening:
Dinner & conversation with a curated table of ~15 founders, operators, & investors.
Exceptional wines, thoughtfully curated cuisine, & original artwork.
Guests will experience a thoughtfully curated progression of refined dishes, premium selections, & seasonal ingredients, accompanied by Cava Brut & Ros, Petit Chablis, & Malbec.
The evening concludes with an exclusive dessert pairing & the Signature Cocktail, a bespoke finale to the experience.
What we'll get into:
What's newly easy, what's suddenly hard, & what that does to the first 18 months of a company
Where defensibility actually lives when software is cheap
How team composition & hiring change when one builder does the work of five
What the next generation of founder playbooks will look like
House rules:
Off the record. No slides, no pitches, no recording. Come with a point of view.
