How to Disrupt Centuries-Old Industries
Max Unistrand described Legora’s rapid legal-AI growth, including $200 million of ARR and a move from law firms into enterprise customers. He and Benchmark’s Chetan Puttagunta argued that AI is expanding legal work rather than shrinking it, by increasing supply, unlocking unmet demand, and changing what junior lawyers must be good at.
Europe’s Billion-Euro Problem
The panel argues Europe has largely moved past seed-stage talent and capital shortages, but still struggles to build many €100B-plus global technology companies. Speakers point to ambition, enterprise procurement, AI infrastructure gaps, healthcare market regulation, and the absence of a strong European venture-capital flywheel as key constraints.
Building at the AI Frontier
Karim Ayoob traced Google DeepMind’s path from AlphaGo to AlphaFold, framing AI as a force multiplier for human ingenuity. He described the shift from prompt-response models to agentic systems, while emphasizing deterministic guardrails, evals, infrastructure, and practitioner leadership for safe enterprise adoption.
