Join us for this live IRL event!
SaaS has defined much of the last two decades in tech. Now, AI platforms are threatening the founder playbook, as every new feature release potentially kills off a startup.
In this Live Podcast Recording for Pathfounders, Richa Kaul, Founder & CEO of Complyance, will unpack how she used a Silicon Valley strategy to raise a $20M Series A led by Google Ventures, and is now using Agentic AI to prevent commoditisation.
Join Pathfounders Founder and Editor Mike Butcher for this live IRL event, looking at how a founder is navigating the new SaaS playbook.
This fireside chat will explore:
• Richa’s journey to being a founder and raising $20M
• How AI brings GRC to the boardroom
• AI's role in surfacing and presenting risks for clients
• If AI is forcing a rethink of the SaaS model
• How Agentic AI is reshaping what startups can build
Join a curated group of founders, investors and tech startup ecosystem operators for structured conversations that go beyond surface-level networking.
