/ About this event

Agents are changing how much founders can accomplish before building out a traditional sales team, but where does that leverage end?

Join Mark Roberge, Managing Director at Stage 2 Capital and former CRO of HubSpot, and Andrew Smith, SVP of Global Sales at SpaceXAI, for a candid fireside chat and interactive Q&A about how AI is reshaping the way founders build and sell.

Together, they’ll explore how founders can use AI to research prospects, personalize outreach, run sales conversations, and move deals forward; what to keep doing yourself versus automate; and how to recognize when a first sales hire will create real leverage.

They’ll also look ahead to a new kind of sales landscape: one in which AI agents will increasingly make buying decisions. What happens when the buyer becomes an agent, and how should founders and GTM teams prepare?

Attendees will also learn how Grok Bot can support sales workflows and give small teams more leverage.

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.
