Product + Engineering Track
Winning the AI Front Door: How Brands Are Adapting to the New Rules of Search
Steven Wolfe Pereira, Chief Growth Officer
Jed Putterman, Head of Engineering
Search has evolved into an AI-driven experience, and brands must adapt. This session introduces AI Experience Optimization (AEO) and shows how marketers are shifting strategies to stay visible in an era of AI overviews and generative answers.

Vivek Vaidya, Founding General Partner
Gal Vered, Cofounder, Checksum.ai
Learn how to turn prompts into production-ready code in this fast, hands-on workshop. You'll build an LLM-powered agent that can plan, write, test, and self-fix code, run changes in a sandbox, and auto-open polished PRs. We’ll cover smart tool design, context ingestion, retrieval, diff-aware edits, run logs, and guardrails—leaving you with a working Claude Code–style agent, a clean CLI and HTTP endpoint, and a starter template you can extend immediately.
GTM Track
Velocity Over Headcount: How a 3-Person Sales Team Is Closing $3M in ARR
Abigail Aragon, Founding AE
Joe Mendez, AE
Brittany Roberts, AE
How a small team hits big ARR goals by running a tight, repeatable system. We’ll cover how deep discovery uncovers real customer pain, how a simple “bridge” model turns that pain-to-vision gap into a proof-of-value plan, and how lightweight rituals make the process repeatable across every deal. Finally, we’ll show why everyone on the team is “selling”—spotting patterns, sharing signals, and building the shared muscle memory that makes a 3-person team feel like 9.
From Data to Dollar: AI's Role in the Modern GTM Stack
Jatin Gupta, GTM Engineer
GTM teams move fast, and the newest tools can make or break revenue growth. Clay may feel like an overnight success, but it took seven years to find its PMF and become the go-to platform for targeted, personalized outreach. Jatin, an early power user, has pushed Clay to its limits while implementing it at a Series B startup—seeing firsthand how raw data and workflows turn into real dollars as the platform evolved.
Translate the Voice of the Customer: How CS Teams Bridge Sales, Product & Marketing
Customer Success hears the clearest signal from the market—but turning that insight into actionable guidance for Sales, Product, and Marketing requires translation. This session covers how top CS teams tailor feedback for each function, avoid generic updates that get ignored, and influence roadmap, positioning, and GTM with real customer insight. If you work in CS or rely on it, you’ll learn practical frameworks for driving alignment and action across the org.
Stay in Sync: How GTM Teams Align, Adapt, and Accelerate in the Age of AI
In a high-velocity startup, go-to-market teams must balance two competing forces: operating in their own functional lanes while moving in lockstep toward shared revenue (duh!) goals. Marketing plans ahead, sales pushes for the close, and customer success ensures long-term retention and expansion. Yet when AI tools enter the mix, the pace accelerates—and so does the need for more alignment and precise coordination. Well of course nothing is perfect.
