About the Event
AI is reshaping what it means to lead a company.
Mid-market companies and scaleups in Austin are staring at the same reality: AI is changing decision-making, customer experience, and growth strategies faster than most executive teams can absorb. The challenge isn’t “what’s possible?” anymore—it’s which AI bets are actually worth making.
This Gild Dinner brings together a curated group of Austin founders and CEOs for a candid, off-the-record conversation about how they’re using AI to drive real advantage—not just headlines.
At the Dinner, We’ll Dig Into
- The specific AI bets founders and CEOs in Austin are making for 2025–2026
- How leaders are cutting through hype to find real, defensible use cases
- What they’ve stopped doing to make room for AI investments
- How executive teams are aligning around AI in strategy, execution, and measurement
No slides. No pitches. Just honest stories and hard-won lessons from people in the same seat you’re in.
You’ll Leave With
- A clearer view of which AI bets are actually working for mid-market and scaling companies
- Practical ideas you can test in your own product, go-to-market, or operations
- New relationships with peer CEOs and founders who are actively leading their companies through the AI era
Seats are intentionally limited so everyone at the table can go deep. Once the table is full, we won’t be adding extra chairs.
