Let’s be honest: investors are tired of the “wrapper” startups. To get a term sheet today, you need more than just a good pitch deck. You need a founders team that knows their market better than anyone else, a product that feels “premium” from the first click, and an AI strategy that actually drives efficiency. We’re diving into why Founder-Market Fit is the only thing VCs care about right now, how the bar for “high-quality” has shifted in a crowded market, and how to treat AI as your most productive team member to build a truly scalable model.

The mobile market is moving faster than ever. The margin for error at each stage of the user journey has never been smaller. In this highly practical session, Lucas Lovell explores the full web monetization stack as a lever for genuine growth in 2026. We will dive deep into the moments that matter for acquiring, converting, and retaining users, all backed by real data. Uncover practical tactics top apps use to reduce friction at the paywall and optimise checkout conversion, before turning to the compliance and billing infrastructure that transforms web monetization from a complexity burden into a competitive advantage. Whether you are looking to bypass store fees or reach entirely new audiences, you will leave this workshop with a clear roadmap to accelerate your revenue and drive sustainable growth.

When budgets tighten, most teams cut spend. The best teams cut waste. This panel explores how modern growth leaders are reallocating dollars based on real signals, not assumptions. From creative-first performance to strategic sandboxing and zero-waste automation, we’ll break down how top teams find incremental gains others overlook. Learn how to validate faster, scale smarter, and turn constraints into competitive advantage.

Most teams treat creative and performance data like separate departments speaking different languages. That disconnect leads to wasted spend, weak testing, and creative fatigue. This session introduces the Creative-Data Loop: a repeatable system that turns performance signals into stronger hooks, smarter messaging, faster iteration, and more scalable growth. Learn how top teams use real data to build creative that performs again and again.

Engagement is not a feature. It is a product philosophy. In this conversation, founders share how they design experiences that turn curiosity into consistency and consistency into loyalty. We will unpack onboarding decisions, personalization strategies, behavioral triggers, and AI-powered user support that make apps feel useful, intuitive, and worth coming back to every day.

AI is becoming part of the discovery layer. Users, investors, partners, and buyers increasingly use tools like ChatGPT and Gemini to understand categories, compare products, and decide what seems credible. In this session, I’ll show how teams can inspect how AI currently understands their product, identify whether the real gap is story, proof, or product, and use credibility signals to improve discovery, trust, and growth.

A practical playbook for marketing teams to use AI to scale output without adding headcount. From building agentic workflows to implementing native AI tools like Lovable, this session shows how non-technical marketers can create and validate features before engineering commits a single line of code.

What happens when AI becomes embedded into how your company actually runs? This session explores how growth teams are using AI to accelerate workflows, improve decision making, automate manual tasks, and unlock efficiency across the business. Discover practical ways to build faster, leaner, and more scalable operations.
