🔥 AI in 2026: What Changes, What Scales, What Breaks
Most AI initiatives never make it past the pilot stage. Only 25–30% do and those who crossed that line will tell you the model was never the hard part. It's leadership, governance, and the courage to make hard calls, knowing when to push and when to pivot.
Our experts bring hands-on experience building, funding, researching, and scaling AI across industries. Expect brand-new perspectives and an open exchange rooted in what's really happening on the ground.
