It's not the startups with the best AI that will win — it's those built AI-native from day one. The next generation of successful companies won't just use AI — they'll be built AI-native. In this interactive session, Bernd Burgdorf uses concrete examples and live demonstrations to show how modern AI transforms the entire startup process: from identifying real problems through ideation, business model design, market and competitive analysis, SWOT, prototyping and go-to-market, all the way to marketing, sales and scaling. Participants will learn a proven AI-native workflow that dramatically accelerates founding processes, enables better decisions, and achieves extraordinary results even with small teams.
