SUMMARY:Building a Business That Outgrows You - with Jesse Emia (KeepSpace)
DESCRIPTION:In this session\, Jesse will go deep into the internal operating system behind KeepSpace: the structure\, team\, culture\, planning rhythms and decision-making processes that have helped the company grow into a resilient\, multi-million dollar business.\nJesse’s talks are known for being candid\, practical and almost uncomfortably transparent. Expect a rare look inside the actual day-to-day mechanics of building a company\, including how KeepSpace approaches financial transparency\, salaries\, OKRs\, team alignment\, annual planning\, weekly reviews and focusing everyone on the work that matters most. \nJesse will share how KeepSpace has built structure around vision\, projects\, workflow and people\, and how those systems help the team stay aligned while navigating changing markets\, economic pressure\, COVID\, hype cycles and the rise of AI. \nIf you’re building a startup and want more than high-level advice\, this is a chance to see the real operational detail behind a company that has had to become stronger\, clearer and more resilient over time.

SUMMARY:Non-Coding AI Use : An easy way to kill your startup
DESCRIPTION:AI is now the cheapest advisor in the room – and that’s exactly the problem. \nEarly-stage founders are increasingly turning to AI for the advice they can’t yet afford: drafting legal agreements\, preparing patent applications\, working through R&D tax claims\, setting up company structures. Used well\, with the right expertise behind it\, AI is a powerful tool. Used without the knowledge to spot when it’s wrong\, it’s a fast and expensive way to do real damage to your startup. \nJoin Experia Growth and our expert sponsors for a sharp\, one-hour lunchtime session on where non-coding AI use goes wrong – and what to do instead. \nThis is for early-stage and aspiring founders who are already leaning on AI to fill the gaps\, and want to understand the risks before they become expensive.

SUMMARY:Founders Across Borders: Why Global from Day One (and what that means)
DESCRIPTION:​Most founders treat “going global” as a milestone they’ll deal with later. By the time they get there\, the product\, the team\, and the company are already built around one market — and changing that is expensive\, sometimes impossible without starting over.\n​This session makes the case for the opposite approach: building global from day one\, before you think you need to. \n​What you’ll learn: Why “initial market” is a more useful mental model than “home market”\, and what changes when you adopt it. | ​How product\, team\, and culture decisions made in the first few months determine how hard international expansion will be later. | ​The legal and entity structure decisions that are nearly impossible to undo once made. | What fundraising looks like when you’re building for multiple markets from the start. | ​A worked example of a company that built global from very early — and what it cost them. \n​Who should attend: ​Early-stage founders who suspect international expansion is in their future\, even if it’s not imminent. | ​Founders who have already made early decisions (team\, tools\, entity structure) and want to know what to revisit before it’s too late. | ​Anyone building a company they don’t want confined to one market. | ​You’re still working full-time\, curious\, with an idea you haven’t committed to yet.
