AI Frontier Network and We10x Launch Founder Conversations on Building with AI

Peers, not panels

AI Frontier Network exists to connect the people doing the work of applied AI: the founders, engineers and operators who make it run inside real organizations. The fastest way to learn from them is to put two of them in a room with one good question.

That is the format of We10x Founder Conversations. Each conversation brings together two founders or operators with complementary experience, matched around a single question about building a company with AI, and lets them talk to each other rather than to a host.

Why it matters to this network

The questions behind the series sit at the centre of applied AI: how far AI agents can stretch a small team, where an AI company needs to be built, and what customers pay for when software does the work.

As a media partner, AI Frontier Network will follow the series and may feature selected conversations, subject to our editorial decisions. The series also creates new connections between practitioners who would otherwise not meet.

Questions for the first season

Applications are open for three questions:

• How Much Company Can One Founder Build with AI Agents?Solo founders now run sales, support and engineering with agents. Where does that stop working?
• Does Building an AI Startup Still Require San Francisco?Talent, capital and customers concentrate in the Bay Area again. Is moving there still the price of winning?
• When AI Agents Do the Work, What Are Customers Actually Paying For?Seats, usage or outcomes? Agents break the old pricing models, and founders are rewriting them in real time.

The format

• Two participants, matched around one question they have both lived
• A clear pairing proposal: both sides agree before anything is scheduled
• About 30 minutes, recorded remotely, peer to peer
• Shared only with the consent of both participants
• Selected conversations may be featured on AI Frontier Network
