Featured Speakers
Alex Kantrowitz, Founder of Big Technology, joins Iccha Sethi, SVP of Engineering at Vanta, to share lessons and perspectives from their work at the intersection of technology and startup growth. The speakers aim to provide mental models and emerging patterns that have not yet become conventional wisdom in the startup ecosystem.
Core Topics
The webinar covers several interconnected challenges facing early-stage technology companies. A central theme is the transition from AI agent demonstrations to production-ready tools, a gap that many startups struggle to bridge. The session also examines how smaller teams can establish competitive advantages before acquiring significant capital, headcount, or market reputation. Attendees will hear discussion of which traditional startup fundamentals remain relevant and which assumptions need revisiting in an environment where AI capabilities are rapidly evolving.
