SUMMARY:Building Dual-Use Companies in the AI Era
DESCRIPTION:​Artificial intelligence is reshaping not only the products we build\, but also the markets they serve. As geopolitical competition accelerates and governments invest more heavily in innovation\, an increasing number of startups are finding opportunities to build technologies that serve both commercial customers and the public sector. \n​Why should founders should care about defense\, commercial markets\, and the changing rules of company building? What does it take to build a successful dual-use company? When should founders begin thinking about government markets? And how is AI changing the way these companies are designed\, funded\, and scaled from day one? \n​Join us for an evening exploring the future of dual-use innovation and company building. Together with founders\, investors\, and leaders operating at the intersection of AI\, defense\, and emerging technology\, we’ll discuss the opportunities\, challenges\, and strategic decisions shaping the next generation of startups. \n​Topics we’ll explore include:\n– ​Why dual-use innovation has become a strategic priority for founders\, investors\, and governments.\n– How AI is changing the way companies are built\, from product development and engineering to go-to-market and scaling.\n– What founders should consider when designing products for both commercial and government customers.\n– ​Common misconceptions about government and defense markets\, and what it actually takes to enter them.\n– ​The evolving investment landscape for AI\, defense\, and dual-use startups.\n​- Lessons from founders and operators building companies at the intersection of commercial innovation and national security.\n– Where the biggest opportunities are emerging over the next decade for AI-native companies. \n​The discussion will be hosted by: \n​Misfit Labs\, a Miami-based AI-native venture studio founded in 2022. The studio partners with founders and institutions to design\, build\, and scale software companies across healthcare\, infrastructure\, and enterprise software\, incorporating artificial intelligence across the full development lifecycle. Learn more at misfitlabs.vc \n​Black Mountain Strategies\, a Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned strategic advisory firm specializing in energy\, AI\, cybersecurity\, and federal markets. The firm provides strategic advisory\, business development\, and market access services across the defense and national security ecosystem. Learn more at blackmountainstrat.com

SUMMARY:Fireside 305: An Evening with Opendoor Tech Leadership
DESCRIPTION:Opendoor is expanding its engineering team in Miami\, and on August 26 the company is taking over The LAB Miami in Wynwood for Fireside 305: An Evening with Opendoor Tech Leadership. \nCEO Kaz Nejatian will take unscripted questions on re-founding and scaling Opendoor. Chintan Parikh (Head of Engineering) and Eyal Klein (Head of Data) follow with a technical session on the engineering and data decisions behind the product\, moderated by Renee Mauldin. The evening closes with food\, drinks\, and open networking with the Opendoor engineering team. \nThe event is hosted in partnership with The LAB Miami\, which has been a collision point for the city’s builders and a driver of Miami’s startup tech ecosystem since 2012. \nOpendoor is hiring in Miami across Software Engineering\, Data and Machine Learning\, and Security Engineering — and is upfront that the work isn’t for everyone. The company ships every week\, pushes decisions to the engineers with the most context\, treats AI as how it works rather than as a department\, and is in office five days a week. \nEngineers considering a move to Miami are encouraged to register as well. Opendoor is flying down a handful of standout engineers who want to relocate — note it in the “Anything you’d like us to know?” field when registering. \nWho should attend: senior engineers\, engineering leaders\, and technical founders in South Florida. \nRegister: opendoor.com/fireside-305

SUMMARY:AI as a Product Feature
DESCRIPTION:As AI capabilities continue to improve\, the challenge is no longer deciding whether to incorporate AI into a product. The real challenge is deciding where AI actually creates value. \n​Too many companies approach AI as a feature to add rather than a problem to solve. The result is products that feel innovative on the surface but fail to meaningfully improve the customer experience. The most successful teams are taking a different approach. They begin with the customer problem\, determine whether AI is the right solution\, and build experiences that are both useful and reliable. \n​We’ll explore what that looks like in practice\, covering:\n​- How to identify customer problems that are genuinely well-suited for AI.\n​- Designing AI-powered experiences that users understand and trust.\n– The engineering tradeoffs that shape product decisions.\n​- How product and engineering teams work together to bring AI features from concept to production. \n​The discussion will feature: \n​Ben Sharpe\, Apple and Microsoft alum\, former CTO at CoinList\, and founder of CodeBake\, with more than 37 years of engineering experience spanning multiple generations of complex systems. Today\, he works at the intersection of product strategy\, AI\, and software engineering\, helping organizations identify where AI creates meaningful customer value and how to build products around it. \n​Kyle Carriedo\, Managing Partner and co-founder of Misfit Labs and former Senior Engineer at Apple who went on to found and scale multiple ventures. \n​Who should come: Founders\, product managers\, CTOs\, engineers\, designers\, and anyone building AI-powered products or deciding where AI belongs in their product roadmap.

SUMMARY:From Design to Build: The Agentic Workflow
DESCRIPTION:​As AI agents become increasingly write code\, the bottleneck shifts upstream. The quality of the design specification now determines the quality of the build. \n​In an agentic workflow\, the quality of the design specification increasingly determines the quality of the build. \nTo better delve into this\, we’ll cover:\n– Why design specs are becoming a critical engineering artifact in an AI-native workflow.\n– How to write specifications that AI agents can reliably execute.\n– The journey from design intent to working implementation.\n– Why builds fail to match the original vision and how to recover.\n– What these changes mean for the future of engineering teams. \n​Who should come: Founders\, CTOs\, engineers\, operators\, and anyone actively trying to figure out how to build\, integrate\, or scale with AI.

SUMMARY:AI-native go to market
DESCRIPTION:Building costs 10x less than it did two years ago. Blocking tasks that used to take weeks can be automated in hours. Legacy software relationships can be unwound. We are in a white room moment — and for technical founders\, that changes everything about how you go to market. This session covers how AI is reshaping workflows from the ground up\, and what that means for how you position\, sell\, and scale. Because when execution gets cheaper\, the real competitive edge becomes deciding well and moving fast.It will be led by Kyle Carriedo\, who spent years building and presenting products at Apple before moving into early-stage company building\, and Ben Sharpe\, an Apple and Microsoft alum with over three decades of experience architecting complex systems. \nWho should come: Founders\, CTOs\, engineers\, operators\, and anyone actively trying to figure out how to build\, integrate\, or scale with AI.

SUMMARY:Beyond the prototype: shipping AI-generated code to production
DESCRIPTION:AI-generated code looks impressive in a demo\, but what happens when it ships and needs to become a working prototype? \nThis session takes an honest look at what is needed for AI-generated code to successfully move out of the sandbox and into real production environments. \nKyle Carriedo and Ben Sharpe will lead the conversation. Kyle is a former senior engineer at Apple\, where he spent years building products and pitching them at the executive level before relocating to Miami to help launch and scale companies. Ben Sharpe is an Apple and Microsoft alum\, former CTO at CoinList\, and founder of CodeBake\, with over 37 years of engineering experience across multiple generations of complex systems. \nTogether\, they’ll cover:\n– Security vulnerabilities that surface when generated code reaches production\n– QA implications and how AI changes the testing surface area\n– Hallucination liability and what it means when no one owns the logic\n– Managing technical debt at scale when AI is part of the build process \nThis is an intentional\, working session for engineering leaders\, technical founders\, corporate innovators\, and anyone engaged in moving beyond he prototype phase of something they’ve built or are building. \nSeats are limited.

SUMMARY:Engineering the Future of America’s Trades with AI
DESCRIPTION:​Most AI applications being built today serve the same side of the economy. ResQ has spent years building for the other side\, the one that keeps our communities running. \n​There are over 5 million trade businesses in America. Plumbers\, electricians\, HVAC techs\, contractors. They power the physical economy\, and for decades\, the software industry built around them\, not for them. ResQ is changing that\, with AI tools that help trades get found\, respond to every lead\, and close more work. \n​On April 14th\, Co-Founders KJ Singh and Co-Founder Mazdak Rezvani will share what it actually takes to build AI for 5\,000+ trade businesses\, what their AI assistant\, Nora\, is doing in the field\, and what this market still needs. No panel\, no pitch. A candid conversation about real-world AI in one of the largest underserved markets in the country.

SUMMARY:Designing AI-Native Engineering Workflows
DESCRIPTION:AI is already embedded in most engineering teams. The real question is whether it’s being used intentionally and positively impacting how work gets done. This session will be a working conversation on how to intentionally integrate AI into core engineering workflows\, including sprint cycles\, code review\, documentation\, and cross-functional collaboration. The focus is on designing systems\, not just adopting tools. \n​Ben Sharpe will lead the discussion. Ben is an Apple and Microsoft alum\, former CTO at CoinList\, and founder of Codebake\, with over 37 years of engineering experience. He has built and scaled complex systems and led technical execution across multiple generations of products. \n​Together\, we’ll focus on: \n​Workflow architecture for AI-native teams \n​Establishing shared prompting standards across engineers \n​Preventing fragmented\, ad hoc AI usage across teams \n​Creating consistency across product\, engineering\, and operations \n​This is an intimate\, high-signal session for operators actively thinking about how engineering organizations evolve in an AI-native world.

SUMMARY:OpenClaw Miami: AI Agents\, Live Demos & Cuban Coffee 🔮
DESCRIPTION:​Look\, we all have AI assistants. Most of them just sit there waiting for you to type something. Ours make phone calls\, manage CRMs\, post content\, and argue over task assignments. It’s honestly a little unsettling. \n​OpenClaw is an open-source framework that turns AI into something that actually works for you — agents with tools\, memory\, and the ability to do things while you’re not looking. Come see it in action. \n​🖥️ Bring your Mac Mini. We’ll make sure you leave with a brand-new agent—or a seriously upgraded one. Name tags for your Minis encouraged (they have feelings too). \n​We’ll show you some things\, talk about some things\, and open the mic for anyone brave enough to ask questions or share what they’re building. Whether you’re AI-curious or already running agents in production\, you’ll fit right in. \n​📅 Tuesday\, February 24 · 7:00 PM\n📍 The LAB Miami\, Wynwood \n​Hosted by:\n​🔮 Purple Horizons – Gianni D’Alerta & Ralph Quintero\nThe team behind South Miami Tech Tuesdays. We help companies turn AI from a buzzword into something that actually does stuff\, through training\, advisory\, and systems that run while you’re at happy hour. Our founders helped build Alienware\, were on the Ethereum founding team\, ran global sales at JBL\, and now somehow ended up making AI agents order Cuban food by phone. \n​With Ja’dan Johnson (Miami Hack Week) \n​About The LAB Miami: The LAB Miami is where Miami’s most relentless founders\, technical talent\, and startup operators come to build. In the heart of Wynwood\, our campus is designed for those pushing the edge of what’s possible with the infrastructure\, community\, and energy to accelerate real progress.
