Beyond Vibecoding: Scaling AI Native Products
“Vibecoding” is powering a new wave of startups and accelerating the pace of startups. But what happens when it’s time to scale? Join us for a candid, tactical panel featuring AI founders, technical advisors, and product strategists who've navigated the path from vibecoding to real-world traction.
We’ll unpack how to effectively leverage vibecoding in the earliest stages of product development, how to identify the right moment to bring in deeper technical infrastructure, and what common traps to avoid. We’ll talk practical insights, team composition, technical debt, investor expectations, and the unique challenges of scaling AI-native applications.
Whether you're a solo founder building with AI tools, an enterprise PM managing the AI revolution of your product, or an advisor guiding early-stage teams, this event offers grounded advice to help you move from vibes to velocity.
