About This Event

AI-native services (AINS) are one of the most compelling business models to come out of this AI cycle, drawing attention from the biggest funders and most ambitious entrepreneurs. They are also one of the hardest to actually build well and their playbooks are still being written. Pricing, org structure, tooling: none of it is settled yet. Fika and Emergence are getting a small group of founders and investors working on this model into one room to compare notes and figure out what's actually working. This will be a curated, productive session that will include lunch, a short keynote by Jake Saper (Emergence) and a founder panel moderated by Arteen Arabshahi (Fika), as well as interactive breakout conversations and time to network. To keep the group thoughtfully curated, registrations will be reviewed and approved on a rolling basis. A special thank you to Goodwin, Stifel Venture Banking, Prospera Law, and Cushman & Wakefield for their support in making this event possible. This event is a part of #LATechWeek—a week of events hosted by VCs and startups to bring together the tech ecosystem.
