What is it like to found an AI startup?

What can be cooler than building your own AI startup? And what can be harder? Let’s ask two founders who lead two high-profile AI startups:

• Tomáš Gogár, Rossum co-founder and CEO
• Martin Schmid, Equilibre co-founder and CEO

We’re going to ask them things like: What was your way to building your own AI startup? How many times have you regretted this decision? What piece of advice would you like to give to future founders? And many more, including questions from the audience. The aim is to gain honest insights from experienced founders.
