If you're a founder, CEO, or business leader who senses that AI represents more than just another tool, that it requires fundamentally rethinking how work gets done in your organization, this conversation is for you. Featuring insights from Levuka Venture Lab—a firm specializing in infrastructure for venture-backed AI and blockchain projects with 40+ developers across four continents—this event reveals why most AI initiatives fail at the workflow level (not the model level) and provides founders with the operational frameworks that separate experimentation from transformation.
