The founders on this stage have already won once.
They’ve built companies at scale, navigated enterprise complexity, survived growth chaos, and delivered real outcomes — including billion-dollar exits and multi-billion-dollar operating roles.
Now they’re building again.
This time, they’re not starting with org charts, headcount plans, or legacy processes.
They’re starting with AI as the operating layer.
This event explores how experienced founders rethink services when they know what breaks at scale — and design for it upfront using AI.

Why This Event Matters
First-time founders ask: “What can AI do?”
Serial founders ask: “What should never exist again?”
This is a conversation about:
- Eliminating entire categories of manual service work
- Designing businesses where AI absorbs complexity before humans ever see it
- Rebuilding services for speed, margin, and resilience, not just growth
Who This Event Is Really For
- Founders building their first, second or third company
- Operators responsible for large-scale service delivery and margins
- Investors backing founders who optimize for durability, not demos
If you’ve already lived through scale, this event will feel familiar — and refreshingly honest.
What You’ll Leave With
Not inspiration. Not hype.
But mental models from people who’ve already paid the price of learning the hard way — and are now building again with AI.
