Why this, why now
For a decade, B2B SaaS and fast-growing B2C were the main object of interest, and the product was a team's main value. 2026 changed that: a product can now be built in days. AI and agents are rewriting the playbook. We are getting together with practitioners who have taken products to market and built companies of their own, to work out what to do next.

Pitch session
Get feedback
on your product
The jury and the room ask sharp questions about your go-to-market, your product and your growth plans.
AI-native startups
A shipped product or a clear traction signal, with AI at the core rather than bolted on. Five minutes to pitch, then questions from the jury.
AI-first agencies
Teams that sell outcomes, not seats: a small crew plus agents delivering what used to take a whole department.
Why agencies? Because this is the business model coming after B2B SaaS: service revenue with software-like margins. We want it on stage next to the startups.
