The discussion continues with Delian Asparukhov of Founders Fund and Saif Khawaja of Shinkei Systems. Together they will discuss the rise of natural AI and how advances in robotics, automation and artificial intelligence are creating new opportunities to transform the natural world. Their discussion will provide insight into what it takes to create and scale breakthrough technologies beyond software alone.

Also, the inclusion in the composition is Carter Rheumco-founder and partner at M13. In his session, “Finding the Next Big Thing,” Reum will explore how artificial intelligence is reshaping industries and how investors are moving beyond short-term hype to spot companies built for long-term resilience. He will share his perspective on where innovation is creating the most significant opportunities and how venture capital is evolving as new categories emerge.
