About this session

In this AMA, we’ll go behind the scenes of how high-performing marketing teams are actually using AI to drive real growth.

The goal is to give founders practical, actionable insights on where AI creates the most leverage, where it falls short, and how to apply it effectively without needing to build out a full marketing team.

Key takeaways:


  • Finding the highest-leverage growth opportunities based on stage and market
  • Turning existing data into faster, more confident decision-making
  • Reducing the gap between strategy and execution to move faster
