As the tech landscape rapidly evolves, the way startups approach development is undergoing a significant transformation. The emergence of no-code platforms and AI-enhanced development environments is redefining the hiring landscape for early-stage companies. The traditional notion of securing a “10x engineer” as a pivotal first hire is being challenged at the upcoming event, Disrupt 2025, scheduled for October 27-29 at the Moscone West in San Francisco.
Join industry leaders for an engaging discussion on the Builders Stage, where experts will share their insights on the changing dynamics of developer tools and their impact on product development. This event promises to be a hub for innovation, bringing together a diverse group of startup founders, venture capitalists, and technology pioneers.
Among the speakers is a seasoned partner with extensive knowledge in AI, infrastructure, and developer tools, who will provide valuable perspectives from both investment and entrepreneurial angles. Another key speaker, a co-founder of a successful platform that began as an open-source project, will share firsthand experiences on how the right tools and team members can significantly enhance product development speed without unnecessary complexity.
The discussion will delve into the essential qualities that today’s founders should seek in their initial engineering hires, the capabilities and limitations of AI-driven tools, and how the entire go-to-market strategy and product lifecycle are evolving in this new development environment. Whether you are a founder, CTO, or simply interested in the future of coding, this panel will explore the intricate, practical aspects of building modern startups.
Disrupt 2025 is set to gather over 10,000 innovators, including startup founders and venture capital leaders, to explore the future of technology. This is an opportunity not to be missed for those looking to engage in meaningful conversations and contribute to shaping the future of the tech industry. Be sure to secure your pass today and take advantage of significant savings.
