From Demo to Dollars: Building and Monetising AI Startups

The Guinness Enterprise Centre AI Forum presents Demo to Dollars. This is not a sales gallery or a marketing opportunity. Instead, it is a transparent, behind-the-scenes look at how AI startups actually build, stumble, and succeed.We are bringing together a community of founders to share the exact tools they used, the technical hurdles they faced, and the "how" behind their AI-enabled product demos. You will walk away with practical insights from peers who are navigating the same technical and commercial challenges as you.

• Part 1: The AI Demo Deep Dive
  Hear directly from a curated lineup of AI startups as they showcase their live product demos. Speakers will focus purely on the build, share what worked, what failed, their specific tech stacks, and the core engineering challenges they overcame.
• Part 2: Panel Discussion — From Proof of Concept to Payment
  Building a great demo is only half the battle. Our panel of experienced founders and commercial leaders will discuss the critical next step: turning a proof of concept into revenue. Learn how to transition from a technical demo to making the sale and generating repeatable income.
• Part 3: Founder Networking & Peer Learning
  Connect with other builders to exchange feedback, debate tools, and share lessons learned in a collaborative environment.
