Commerce & Croissants: A Breakfast Event
Join us for a free breakfast event on May 27 at 8:30 AM at the Design Exchange (234 Bay St.) as commerce founders, operators, and investors come together for candid, high-signal conversations on what’s actually working right now.
Founders, operators, and investors unpack what’s working now. How are startups embedding AI agents into their core products? Where is value being created and captured across the commerce stack? And what does it take to build trust and scale systems that can execute on users’ behalf?
Come for the croissants. Leave with a sharper perspective on what’s next in commerce.
