The AI Breakfast Club: Real Stories, Real Impact w/ Deel, Hubstaff & Lore at Soma Capital
AI is everywhere — but let’s skip the generic “we use ChatGPT for emails” talk. This event is about the real, game-changing ways AI is shaping how we build, hire, and scale.
Join us for a lively discussion with AI founders, investors, and operators who are using AI in ways that actually move the needle.
We’ll be sharing insights from the Hubstaff AI Productivity Shift report, combining survey data from 3,000+ professionals and anonymized behavior from 140,000+ users to show how AI is reshaping work.
We’ll cover:
🚀 AI in hiring & global teams – Smarter ways to find, onboard, and pay talent worldwide
📊 AI for decision-making – How startups are using AI to expand, hire, and outpace the competition
💰 AI in fintech & payroll – Making global payments, compliance, and forecasting seamless
🛠️ AI for product & sales – Tools and strategies that help teams ship faster and sell smarter
