What separates the founders who break through from those who don't? In 2026, the answer increasingly comes down to one thing: how you wield AI. The rules of company-building are being rewritten — faster than most founders realize. There are few people better positioned to unpack what this means for founders than Adeo Ressi. He's spent over 20 years obsessing over one question: what does it actually take to build a successful startup? Join us for an exclusive lunchtime conversation as Adeo joins us in Berlin from Silicon Valley.
