On Friday, May 26th, join us at Free Agency HQ in NYC for a fireside chat between Jenny Fielding (Managing Partner at Everywhere Ventures) and Sherveen Mashayekhi (Co-founder & CEO at Free Agency) about the choice facing many early stage founders today: to AI, or not to AI.
This is a free event targeting the early stage tech & startup ecosystem. Founders, investors, and operators are welcome. Doors open at 5:30pm ET. The event will begin promptly at 6pm and end at 7pm. Be there on time or early!
If you're a pre-seed or seed stage founder, or expect to start your journey soon, you might be wondering...
If I'm not sure about AI's relevance to my product, am I screwed? Should I find a way to make it part of my narrative?
If I'm an AI startup in the early stage, can I use Other People's Products (OPP) to stitch together my proof of concept? Should I build my own model?
What are early stage investors looking for in AI-driven or AI-enabled companies? How do they view non-LLM AI products?
Does it count if I'm using LLMs to fuel my internal operations?
We'll cover this & so much more.
