Behind every success story is a string of failures nobody talks about. Tomorrow, we're putting them centre stage.

We're proud to open our doors for Fail Fest, presented by the SK Startup Institute, an evening all about the missteps, pivots, and hard-won lessons that shape every entrepreneur. Our CEO Brendan King joins the panel alongside Jeremy Lang (founder of Pela and Lomi) and Haley Gardiner (owner of Honey Bee Tattoo Collective) to get honest about what didn't go to plan, and what it taught them.

Come for the stories. Stay for the community.

Setup is a one-time win.

The real opportunity is what comes after: a managed service that keeps your clients' AI current and on-brand no matter how much their business evolves.

That's the AI Workforce Optimization Plan.

Join us June 17 at 12pm ET to see the plan and learn how to make it a service your clients renew every month.

Your customers want AI. Your sales team is losing deals to AI-native competitors. And your roadmap is already full.

The instinct is to build it.

Most product teams eventually discover that instinct is expensive.

A mid-complexity AI agent takes 3 to 5 months to build. A full multi-agent system takes 6 to 12. Annual maintenance runs 40 to 60% of the initial build cost โ€” every year. And every engineer on that project isn't shipping the core product your existing customers are paying for.

MIT researchers framed it well: the choice isn't build or buy. It's buy, boost, or build, and the right answer depends entirely on whether the AI capability is your competitive moat or just a feature your customers now expect.

For most software vendors in 2026, the honest answer is: it's a feature. And features you can embed in weeks shouldn't take quarters to build.

Swipe for the full framework โ€” cost breakdown, decision criteria, and what the vendors shipping AI fast are actually doing.

If youโ€™ve ever launched a project that flopped, missed a target, or had to completely pivot your strategy... this one is for you.

Innovation requires risk, and risk means failing forward. Fail Fest is all about normalizing the stumbles and celebrating the resilience it takes to keep going.

Pipeline shouldn't stall just because your reps are busy closing deals.

To fix this, we built an internal AI SDR for our own team. It qualifies leads, books meetings, and follows up around the clockโ€”all while our human reps focus on what they do best: winning business.

This Thursday, our Head of Sales, Spencer Krieger, is walking through exactly how it works. He'll share:

- Which top-of-funnel tasks to hand off first
- Whatโ€™s actually working in our current setup
- What we would do differently next time

Bonus: We're giving away a free AI SDR to one attendee live on the call.

$57,000 in cookie sales from a $2,800 ad spend. 72 trailers sold from a landing page built in an afternoon. A proposal generator built live on a client's rooftop.

These aren't tech companies. They're agencies using vibe coding to deliver custom client tools without developers.

How many accounts can one of your account managers actually run well?

If your answer is somewhere between 10 and 25, you're probably operating with the current model.

Social Ordeals' answer is 40 to 90.

Their team isn't burning out. They built an AI workforce their account managers direct, and the results are changing what the job looks like entirely.

Simon Papadopoulos is walking through exactly how that works on June 10 at 11am ET.

They were 6 months into building a CRM. Deadline approaching. Nothing to ship.

Their engineering team had hit a wall. Building a multi-tenant CRM from scratch was harder, slower, and more expensive than expected โ€” and the customer-committed deadline wasn't moving.

So they made a call: stop building, start embedding.

What happened next is a case study in what the right build-vs-buy decision actually looks like in practice. Swipe through ๐Ÿ‘‰
