/ About this event
A candid fireside on what AI actually does inside a value-creation plan — not the keynote version. Deepak Shrivastava (CEO, Sunrise AI) and Chetan Bagga (Managing Partner, Archetype Growth) walk through one live operating-partner engagement on an Archetype portco — the initial swing at an AI-native playbook: the forward-deployed model that quietly did a whole ops team's work, where they face-planted, and how they'd underwrite AI in the next deal. Real numbers, real misses, off the record. Cocktails. Roster capped @ dozen seats for PE, operating partners, and LPs — strictly invite-only, by approval.
This event is a part of #LATechWeek—a week of events hosted by VCs and startups to bring together the tech ecosystem. Learn more at www.tech-week.com.
-- About Archetype
Chetan Bagga founded Archetype in 2013 to invest in the strongest companies in the health insurance and employee benefits sector. From the beginning, Chetan created a sourcing paradigm by which Archetype consults with larger enterprises to get access to robust, yet under-invested vendor networks. After six years of independently investing in the space and accelerating Archetype's platform, Archetype invited limited partners into its first fund.
Since then, the firm has evolved into a comprehensive growth equity and consulting ecosystem. Today, this integrated model is powered by the Archetype Fund, Archetype Solutions, and the RAD Collective—a unique synergy designed to identify, fund, and scale the next generation of healthcare innovation.
-- About Sunrise AI
Sunrise AI forward-deploys AI systems directly into the operating core of mid-to-large cap organizations, rather than selling software from the outside in. From the start, Sunrise built around an "AI operating layer" model -- embedding alongside a company's core teams, shipping working systems against real workflows, and proving value in production before scaling.
Backed by AI Fund (Dr. Andrew Ng), the model pairs a governed, security-first platform with an operating-partner approach: identify the high-leverage workflows, deploy AI that does the work, and re-underwrite how teams run.
Sunrise now brings that same AI-native playbook to private equity operating partners and their portfolio companies.
