**Using AI to Make Smarter Bets: Forecasting & Decision-Making for Bootstrapped Businesses**

Innovation always feels like a gamble—especially when you’re bootstrapping. The difference between a good bet and a bad one can mean the life or death of your business. Yet too many founders rely on gut instinct.

This session will show you how AI can help small business owners make smarter, leaner decisions without losing flexibility. We’ll explore how AI-powered forecasting can help you decide where to invest your time and money, giving you credible ranges and probabilities for outcomes instead of false certainty.
We’ll tackle the real challenges SMB founders face, like:

* How do you forecast realistically when you don’t have much data?
* How can you use AI to quickly test assumptions and avoid wasted spend?
* How do you stay agile without getting lost in dashboards and complexity?

Let’s cut through the hype and talk about how AI can give bootstrapped founders sharper instincts, better forecasts, and the confidence to place smarter bets when the stakes are highest.
