Building & selling in 2025 looks different.
If you're a technical founder or operator in NYC, don't miss our July NY Enterprise Tech Meetup for a candid conversation with the founders of Graphite & Superblocks. We will discuss how to build, adapt, & find your footing in a market that's evolving as quickly as AI is reshaping it.
We'll dig into what it takes to build a company when user expectations are shifting, iteration cycles are compressing, & the lines between product & go-to-market are increasingly blurred. Whether your company started before or after ChatGPT, you're now operating in a different world.
We'll talk about how to stay close to real customer problems, & how to evolve your product & positioning when the category itself is still being formed. Founders need to stay close to both product & customer. In a market moving this quickly, that's the only way to build the right thing.
Merrill & Brad will share hard-earned lessons from building through uncertainty, iterating quickly, & staying focused on the fundamentals as the market shifts around them.

Graphite recently raised a $52M Series B & launched Diamond, its AI-powered code review agent. Diamond delivers instant, codebase-aware feedback on every pull request, helping developers catch bugs, logic errors, & style issues in seconds. The platform also supports customizable rules, stacked PRs, & self-healing CI. Engineering teams at companies like Shopify, Snowflake, & Figma use Graphite to ship high-quality code faster.
Superblocks recently introduced Clark, an AI agent that helps developers build production-grade internal apps from natural language prompts. Clark combines AI-generated code, visual editing, & full control with React, while enforcing enterprise standards like audit logging, SSO, RBAC, & compliance. With around $60M in funding, Superblocks is already supporting teams at companies like Instacart to accelerate internal tooling development.
If you're a technical founder or early operator navigating this new terrain, this conversation will leave you with real, hard-earned insight into what it means to build right now.
