/ About this event

Join Upstarts, Airwallex, and Vanta for a panel with founders building at the frontier of AI — from agentic infrastructure to applied models shipping in production today.

The conversation covers what's actually working versus what's still demo-ware, how these teams are thinking about defensibility as foundation models improve, and the unglamorous, operational work of scaling an AI company.

Panelists: -Ivan Burazin, co-founder & CEO, Daytona -Sara Du, founder & CEO, Ando -Nick Rudder, founder & CEO, Sphere -Alex Konrad, founder and editor, Upstarts (moderator)

Expect candid answers rather than a product pitch, followed by a Q+A where you can ask the speakers questions directly, open networking and food.

This event is a part of #SFTechWeek—a week of events hosted by VCs and startups to bring together the tech ecosystem. Learn more at www.tech-week.com.
