Fintech x AI PortCo Summit
“We’re here – in some ways – because your day job just got a lot more complicated”
On June 28th, 2023, we hosted our Fintech x AI PortCo Summit to help executives across the Foundation Capital Portfolio answer the question “What should I be doing about AI?”
Founders and leaders from over 35 Fintech companies convened to share their learnings and gather perspectives on this essential question.
The summit, while comprehensive, echoed a central theme: the intricate journey of integrating AI into financial operations, especially for companies at different mile-markers along the AI adoption path. A consensus emerged on the significance of a balanced AI approach, one that blends existing models with tailored solutions to protect data and cater to unique needs.
As discussions unfolded, attendees were treated to a wide variety of case studies, best practices, and critical architectural considerations to keep in mind for seamless AI integration.
The summit’s finale comprised breakout sessions, offering attendees an opportunity to ask questions and probe deeper into both the strategic and technical facets of AI.
Special thanks to all of the presenters, and an additional shout-out to Foundation’s own Charles Moldow and Nico Stainfeld for orchestrating and hosting a fantastic event.
