OpenAI ships. Anthropic ships. Google ships. And sometimes — they ship your product.
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 buildingHow 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 itHow to build for a world where the floor keeps moving
What to expect:
A practical framework you can apply to your own product or ideaOpen discussion with founders, builders, and operators who are wrestling with the same questionsNetworking with the community that's actually building
