Signal from noise: AI for responding to shifting market & competitive landscapes
We're bringing together a sharp group of PMMs from Ironclad and Hockeystack (+ many more), investors from Coatue, Menlo Ventures, and Rebel Fund, and founders / operators working on applied AI for casual conversations and networking around:
How do you position real product value when everyone’s slapping “AI” on a landing page?
What’s the first clue a new category is forming—and what do you do when you see it?
What signals make you reconsider your assumptions about a market you're watching?
What tools or tactics are actually working for tracking fast-moving players?
We’re also giving a first look at Spine Research (YC S23), a new workspace for deep research, long-term competitive intelligence, and market tracking.
Professionals doing consequential work, whether investing, positioning, or strategic planning, rely on research that is rarely linear, often ambiguous, and always high-stakes.
Spine Research is built for that reality.
Attendees will get an early look at the Spine experience and connect with others rethinking how knowledge work gets done.
RSVP required. Space is limited.
