How Founders & Operators Use AI brings the eChai conversation to London. Builders who are actively working with AI tools across coding, product, marketing, sales and internal operations, all in one place. There is no stage, no slides, no panel. Just people who are building things and using AI to do it better. Founders share the stack they rely on, what they have dropped and what has genuinely improved speed or output. Operators walk through the workflows they use day to day, how they structure prompts, where automation fits in and what still requires human judgment. The conversation happens naturally. Over coffee, over drinks, in small groups that form and reform through the evening. Someone mentions a tool they switched to last week. Someone else explains how they restructured their entire content workflow around AI. That is the format. London brings together founders, operators and investors from across the world, and this session creates a focused space to meet the people who are shaping how startups work with AI. You will meet early stage founders building their first AI-powered product, teams using AI to scale across global markets and operators who have integrated AI deeply into how they run their companies. People from fintech, SaaS, AI-native, consumer, climate and creative tech often join in, making the exchange rich in perspectives and real use cases. If you are experimenting with AI, already using it in your daily work, or curious about how London's startup community is adopting AI, you are welcome to join a warm and global group of founders who enjoy learning from fellow builders one conversation at a time. Entry is free. You only pay for what you order. ​.. **eChai Ventures - Your Startup’s Global Neighborhood.** Startups grow faster when founders are plugged into the right conversations. That’s what eChai makes happen — connecting founders across cities, stages, and markets. Visit: [eChai.Ventures](https://echai.ventures/)
