about this room

A live debate on which parts of an AI-era business keep their value once the model underneath changes. The room splits in two, founders on one side and investors and angels on the other, and votes live as the argument runs.

Marc Richard leads. He chairs the AI Working Group behind the Investing Through Disruption framework and advises owner-managed businesses. It runs 14:30 to 15:30 at the NatWest Accelerator Hub, 2 Avon Street, Bristol BS2 0PT, with about sixty people expected. Part of Global Entrepreneurship Week.

why go

investors say out loud what they treat as a moat in due diligence and what they don't. Best for seed to Series A founders working out how to talk about defensibility, and angels who want to compare notes.
