Is Your Startup One Announcement Away From Irrelevant?

This event is for anyone building with AI who's asked themselves: is what I'm building defensible, or am I one changelog away from being obsolete?

​We'll give you a framework to answer it honestly — and together.

​What we'll cover:

• ​The difference between a feature and a company — and how to tell which one you're building
• ​How to identify your actual moat: is it your data, your workflow, or your trust?
• ​What "platform risk" really means and how to stress-test your idea against it
• ​How to build for a world where the floor keeps moving

​What to expect:

• ​A practical framework you can apply to your own product or idea
• ​Open discussion with founders, builders, and operators who are wrestling with the same questions
• ​Networking with the community that's actually building

​Admission: $10 Contribution
