Agenda
Founders and operators on the AI tools they actually use.
A gathering of builders who are actively working with the latest AI tools across coding, product, marketing, sales, and internal operations.
The conversation centers on what tools people are trying, how they decide what to adopt, and how they stay current as things keep evolving. 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.
If you are experimenting with AI or already using it in your daily work, this is a space to compare notes, discover new tools, and learn how others are building practical workflows around AI.

Agenda
A panel conversation with founders and operators on how startups actually find their customers. Most early products do not fail because the product is weak. They fail because nobody found them.
This session is about the part that comes after building: picking a channel, testing it honestly, and knowing when to double down or walk away.
The conversation will cover getting to the first hundred customers, what has worked on organic, paid, partnerships, and community, how founders think about pricing and positioning, and what it takes to build distribution that keeps working as you grow.
If you are building something and are stuck on getting it in front of people, come and compare notes.

Founders building in energy, mobility, waste, and everything else climate touches.
A gathering of founders building in climate: energy, mobility, waste, water, agriculture, materials, and the software holding it all together. Climate startups carry a longer road than most.
Hardware cycles, pilots that run for months, regulation to work around, and buyers who move slowly. The conversation is about how founders in India work through that and still build something that stands on its own commercially.
Expect candid stories on landing the first paying customer, selling to corporates and government, raising against a long payback, and staying alive long enough for the impact to count.
If you are building in climate, or thinking about moving into it, this is a gathering worth being part of.
