Last week, we co-hosted FoundersX with HumanX off the back of their conference in San Francisco. We invited a small list of key figures shaping the AI landscape to an intimate retreat in Napa Valley. 👇

The welcome reception was held at the Napa Valley Car Club, where guests got to test drive luxury cars, before getting stuck into the day. The idea was to create a more intimate setting for the people building at the frontier of AI to connect, compare notes and explore the questions shaping the next phase of the market.

Across the retreat, conversations covered:
📈 The post-hype AI economy and where real value is being built
🤔 Enterprise adoption, context and what still gets in the way
💻 Infrastructure, models and the next technical frontier
💡 AI’s impact on creativity and entertainment
🏃‍♂️‍➡️ Longevity, performance and what it takes to sustain leadership at this pace

Thank you to everyone who joined us and contributed to such an open, high-calibre discussion. 👏

And thank you to our partners QuantumBlack, AI by McKinsey, LIQUIDITY, MS&AD Ventures and Silicon Valley Bank for helping make the inaugural edition of FoundersX possible, and to the HumanX team for collaborating with us on its launch.

On 23 April, we’re heading to Daylesford Farm for a day focused on the future of farming, nature and food, exploring how regeneration starts from the ground up. 🌾

Why now? Because farming is under growing pressure from every angle: climate volatility, land-use change, biodiversity loss and shifting policy.

At the same time, investment, innovation and market demand are creating a real opportunity to rethink how food is grown and how land is restored.

We’re looking forward to bringing together a unique and important group of people working to solve these challenges, alongside co-hosts Arizona Muse, Carole Bamford and Sammy Fry.

Ahead of Mother’s Day, here’s a founder story worth reading.

After watching their mother struggle to return to work despite years of experience, sisters Amelia Miller and Lydia Miller decided to build a solution.
That idea became ivee – a platform helping professionals identify the AI skills that actually move careers forward. ⏩

Just 18 months after launching their MVP, they’ve upskilled 70,000 people, secured four offers on Dragons’ Den, and raised a $1m Seed round.
