Builders & Disruptors

Six months ago, a bunch of founders, operators, and the occasional unhinged optimist submitted their boldest predictions for where SaaS and AI would be by November 2026.

Some of them were wrong. Some of them were embarrassingly right. And a few of them should probably never have been said out loud. This session is part accountability, part crystal ball, and entirely unpredictable.

They didn’t bolt AI onto an existing product.

They started after the transition and built assuming intelligence was the baseline. Their cost structures make no sense to a 2021 investor, their GTM looks nothing like the playbooks, and they’re growing faster than anyone expected. Hear from the founders who aren’t adapting to the new era. They are native to it.

The hardest question in SaaS right now isn’t whether AI will disrupt your market.

It’s whether you’ll be the one doing the disrupting. This session is for founders willing to get genuinely uncomfortable: do I have an AI-native version of my product that would eat my current product’s lunch, and if not, who might be building it right now?

No slides. No theory. No watching someone else do the cool thing.

In 40 minutes, you’re going to leave with a skill you didn’t have when you walked in. This is a working session where founders and operators roll up their sleeves and build something real, together. Each Lab tackles one specific, tactical AI application you can implement in your business this week. Come ready to work.
