The AI Founder & Investor Playbook:

a Transatlantic Perspective

Building an AI company has never moved faster or been more competitive. New models emerge every week, product categories are being rewritten, and investor expectations continue to evolve.

On 22 September from 12:45 at AI House Amsterdam, founders and leading international investors will come together for a practical afternoon on what it takes to build, fund and scale an AI company.

At the heart of the programme is BGV’s AI Native Startup Playbook, explored through an interactive masterclass on where AI is heading, what investors are looking for and how founders can build for international growth. The afternoon concludes with an investor panel featuring BGV, Alumni Ventures and Curiosity VC on fundraising, the AI investment landscape and expansion into the US.
