C10 x MongoDB - AI After Work - Past the Demo: Building AI That Holds Up in the Real World

Description:

Every AI product works in the demo. Then real users, real data and real scale show up.

Join C10 Labs and MongoDB for an after-work session of honest founder postmortems. Founders from the NYC AI Nexus cohort will share what broke when their AI went live, what they changed, and what they would do differently. No pitches and no polished keynotes, just real lessons from people building in healthcare, climate and industry.

Samadnya Kalaskar at MongoDB, will share the patterns she sees when teams take AI from idea to production: where agents fail, how to handle memory and data as you grow, and what to get right early.

Then we eat and mingle. Pizza and conversations with founders, engineers and investors building AI in New York.
