Session: AI Ops for Startups: How to Build Systems That Scale Before You Do
AI has changed the rules of scaling, but most startups still operate like it’s 2015.They hire early, overwork founders, and duct-tape their tools together until the chaos becomes culture.
In this talk, Rachel Lavern reveals how to use AI and smart systems to scale sustainably from day one. You’ll learn how to turn daily bottlenecks into automated workflows, design “business clones” that think with you, and build operations that expand capacity without expanding payroll.
This isn’t about adding more tools, but designing a foundation that runs smoothly before you hire.
You’ll leave with practical frameworks, relatable case studies, and one clear outcome: knowing how to make your business work harder than you do.
Key Takeaways
- Identify your “scaling leaks.” Learn how to spot the manual tasks quietly limiting your startup’s growth.
- Apply the three-part AI Ops Framework. Automate → Anticipate → Align — systems that think with you, not for you.
- Design for lean scalability. How to replace early hires with smart systems that free founders to lead, not manage.
- Build investor confidence. Show readiness with documented, repeatable workflows that scale.
- Trust your systems. Create automation that saves time and strengthens your client experience.
