DETAILS

Most AI startups won't survive 2026.

Founders are building the wrong layer of the stack, burning runway on pilots that never ship, & getting crushed between hyperscaler pricing & investor skepticism.

Chris Brown has seen this pattern play out across three continents. As NVIDIA's Inception Program Partner Manager, he's the first call for thousands of AI founders trying to figure out how to get compute, ship product, & raise capital in a market that's gone from "AI everything" to "show me revenue" in six months.

This is the tactical download you need to keep your AI startup alive.

WHO SHOULD ATTTEND
- AI founders raising in the next 6 months: Your deck says "infrastructure." Your revenue says "consulting." Learn the difference investors actually care about.
- Technical founders burning runway on compute costs: If GPU bills are eating your runway or you're rationing cloud hours-this is the playbook you need.
- Builders stuck between demo & production: Most AI startups die in this gap. Learn the specific shifts that get you to production-ready systems.
- International founders scaling into or out of US markets: Chris ran accelerators in SF, Moscow, & Tallinn. He knows what breaks when you cross borders.
- Investors who need to separate signal from noise: Pattern recognition from evaluating thousands of AI companies-what predicts success vs. what sounds good in decks.

Why this matters now: The AI market is bifurcating.

A handful of startups will become infrastructure. Most will become features inside someone else's product. This session is about making sure you're in the first category.
