It’s a popular concern that conventional “share-holder primacy” governance is catastrophic for stewarding AI labs and LLMs. OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, Meta, Cohere, and Palantir have all established some form of alternative oversight or voting power as a guardrail.

​Yet, every day in Silicon Valley, new AI startups are formed and funded the old way, without any such guardrails or checks. Is this potentially a time bomb? Do startups need a new governance template for the new age?

​Join us for a fireside chat with author and investor Eric Ries (NYTimes Bestselling author of The Lean Startup) for a discussion on this compelling dilemma. Eric’s new book, Incorruptible, examines what it actually takes to grow profit and make a positive impact — and why so many companies fail to resist the “financial gravity” of Wall Street pressures.

​Eric and moderator Po Bronson (General Partner at SOSV) will dig into Eric’s blueprint for how startups can prosper and endure without losing their soul:

  • ​How to think through AI development from day 0 & what founders building in AI should do differently
  • ​How to stay mission-driven as your cap table grows & the pressure for revenue mounts
  • ​The role of governance in protecting against a mindset shift in the investor stack that all too commonly backfires
