A private dinner for PE investors & the SaaS leaders they back.

Most PE-backed SaaS companies have already given their product & engineering teams AI tools, & boards expected faster results from the same spend. For most, the roadmap hasn't moved. Operators see the same release cadence as two years ago. Investors see AI spend that hasn't paid off. Same problem, two seats.

Rahul Raina will open with what Celestial Systems has learned putting AI-native development into practice with client teams. That includes how his team shortened the cycle from customer request to production release from quarters to weeks, & scaled feature throughput 4x with the same headcount.

The conversation will cover:

- How a board can tell real progress from AI activity, starting with how fast a customer request reaches production

- How to get the whole team working the way your best AI user does, not just the one or two who figured it out on their own

- If AI is writing the code, who your builders are, & what product managers, designers & engineers actually do now

Every guest leaves with an AI SDLC playbook & a recorded walkthrough of one use case moving through the full development cycle, from requirements to mockup to working code.

Who should attend: PE operating partners & investment professionals backing SaaS portfolios, plus CEOs, CTOs, CPOs & heads of engineering at PE-backed SaaS companies.
