DESCRIPTION:The zero to one phase of an AI startup is where most projects q
 uietly fail. Not because the models are weak\, but because the problem is 
 wrong\, the scope is off\, the team is misbuilt\, and execution drifts awa
 y from real customer value.\n\nThis talk presents a practical zero to one 
 playbook for developers and technical leaders who want to move from builde
 r to founder in the AI era. It connects three elements that are usually tr
 eated separately: early product execution\, early team design\, and what i
 nvestors actually fund at pre seed and seed stage.\n\nYou will learn how t
 o choose a problem customers will pay to solve\, how to turn AI capabiliti
 es into a real product wedge instead of a demo\, how to run tight design p
 artner loops\, how to structure a two to four person early team\, which ro
 les to delay\, and which concrete signals make investors back early techni
 cal teams. The session also highlights common early stage failure patterns
 \, including overengineering\, premature scaling\, and misaligned hires.
