A Framework for Balancing Growth and Profit: a Risk-adjusted View of Growth
Ben Fletcher
Co-Founder & CEO, The Mothership
We all know there’s a trade off between growth and profit (or burn rate), so how do you choose the right level, and how do you choose the big projects you take on to deliver it? This session will walk through The Mothership’s approach and set out the questions you need to answer to develop your own strategy.

Balancing High Performer Reward and Retention with Motivation of The Rest of The Team
Dr. Tamaz Georgadze
CEO, Raisin
As companies scale, the talent challenge changes from hiring fast to building a team that can grow, stay engaged, and keep performing. In this session, we’ll explore how Raisin has designed a people strategy that balances high performance with loyalty, growth, and long-term retention. The discussion will look at how to identify and reward top talent, how to support the strong middle of the team, and how to handle underperformance without losing the culture you’ve built.

Implementing AI in Your Organisation: What’s Working, What’s Failing, and What Most Companies are Getting Wrong
Faris Zacina
Founder & CEO, Ministry of Programming
Most companies are putting AI to work. Few are actually getting significant results. In this session, Faris will share what he’s learned from building agentic systems and watching well-funded, even multi-billion-dollar organisations (fashion, financial services, R&D-heavy brands) stall on implementation while small startups race ahead. We’ll cover the classic mistakes, what’s working in practice, when to build versus buy, why maintenance is the part nobody plans for, and what an AI-first organisation actually looks like.
15.00
Creating an Industry: From Big Vision to Daily Alignment
Ida Tin
Hormone Challenge, Lead, SPRIND
Most founders frame ambition as building a great company. Ida Tin, who founded Clue, now leading a €40 million programme at SPRIND, is building one level up: an entire industry for continuous hormone monitoring. We’ll explore what it takes to set a vision at industry scale, then translate it into the narrative and alignment needed to motivate teams to succeed.
