## About

<p>Invitation only · 15 seats · Approval required</p><p>For founders of fast-growing <strong>Series A+ startups, with a limited number of investor seats.</strong></p><p>Some of the investors in the room:</p><ul><li><p><strong>Merck Global Health Innovation Fund (GHI Fund)</strong></p></li><li><p><strong>Presidio Ventures (Sumitomo Corporation)</strong></p></li><li><p><strong>Morgan Stanley Ventures Lab</strong></p></li></ul><p>When AI compresses engineering cycles from months to days, the scarcest thing in a startup is no longer the ability to build. It's knowing what to build, for whom, and how to win when everyone can ship. That shift rewrites the founder's job.</p><p>Moats move from code to data, distribution, and judgment. Team shapes change. Capital efficiency changes what "venture scale" even means.</p><p>The playbooks most of us learned are quietly going out of date, and the new ones are being written right now, by the people in rooms like this one.</p><p><strong>The evening:</strong></p><p><em>Dinner and conversation with a curated table of ~15 founders, operators, and investors. A handful of invited voices will anchor the discussion including heads of CVCs and later stage AI founders.</em></p><p>This is a roundtable, not a panel: everyone at the table is expected to bring opinions.</p><p>What we'll get into:</p><ul><li><p><strong>What's newly easy, </strong>what's suddenly hard<strong>, and what that does to the first 18 months of a company</strong></p></li><li><p>How<strong> team composition and hiring change </strong>when one builder does the work of five</p></li><li><p>What the<strong> next generation of founder playbooks </strong>will look like</p></li></ul><p><strong>House rules:</strong></p><p>Off the record. No slides, no pitches, no recording. Come with a point of view.</p><p></p><p><strong>ORGANIZED BY</strong></p><p>​</p><p><img src="https://images.lumacdn.com/cdn-cgi/image/format=auto,fit=cover,dpr=2,quality=75,width=800,height=284.8484848484848/uploads/ze/d81e19a0-271e-4178-909e-00758be939f0.png" alt="User Uploaded Image"></p><p>​<a target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener" href="https://www.elpislabs.com/?utm_source=luma">Elpis Labs</a><br>We work with the government sector and international trade agencies to help their startups find corporate partners in the U.S.</p><p>​</p><p><img src="https://images.lumacdn.com/cdn-cgi/image/format=auto,fit=cover,dpr=2,quality=75,width=800,height=113.5/uploads/i2/d4c5c2bf-0d8d-49e9-b6d4-3ce886eb16c4.png" alt="User Uploaded Image"></p><p>​<a target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener" href="https://thevertical.la/?utm_source=luma">The Vertical</a><br>An online publication, community platform, and event series focusing on international venture ecosystem.</p><p><img src="https://images.lumacdn.com/cdn-cgi/image/format=auto,fit=cover,dpr=2,quality=75,width=800,height=232.37250554323725/uploads/gf/003dd6c1-464b-4b4a-805f-59fd41ea3668.png" alt="User Uploaded Image"></p><p>​<a target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener" href="https://trinovation.co/?utm_source=luma"><strong>Trinovation Partners</strong></a></p><p><strong>The "Scale AI" of Venture Backed Startups</strong></p><p>​We are an AI data operations partner for venture-backed teams building computer vision and AI products.

## Ticket types

| ticket type id | name | price | currency | buyable now | per order | approval | sales end |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| `tQk4he8D5IWkMWEXkybL` | General Admission | free | usd | yes | 1–unlimited | required | 2026-10-06T18:22:00.000Z |

Prices exclude the service fee. `buyable now` is a boolean, not a count —
remaining stock is the organizer's information and is not published; create
a checkout session to find out whether a given quantity fits.

## Registration questions

| question id | question | type | required | answerable | options |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| `zxm3t0x0ubhzhy85vb9wrd` | Linkedin | linkedin | yes | yes | — |
| `nebt4emvt7c1aw2u3gjoay` | What company do you work for? | text | yes | yes | — |
| `rc85jiexhiswzdvwnyht0d` | What’s your biggest challenge with data as you scale your AI products? | text | yes | yes | — |
| `vx81y8bsajeminhs7fxqyf` | What’s the best phone number to reach you? | text | yes | yes | — |
| `c6d9jljbwn5khant7bvlod` | What’s your company website? | text | yes | yes | — |

Send these back as `attendee_answers` (`{ question_id, value }`). A missing
required answer keeps a checkout session unpayable. `dropdown` and
`multipleChoice` answers must match one of the listed options exactly.

The response `totals` is the authoritative price — it includes the service
fee, which is not in the table above and depends on the cart and the
organizer's fee settings. Never compute a total from this document.
