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.

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 buildJoin a curated group of founders, investors and tech startup ecosystem operators for structured conversations that go beyond surface-level networking.
