AI is not just a technological shift - it’s a restructuring of the labor market. White-collar roles are compressing. Entry-level pathways are breaking. Entire categories of work are being reorganized faster than new ones are being created. At the same time, demand is rising for real, task-based capability - often in areas the market has historically overlooked or misunderstood. We’re entering a moment where: > Output is becoming abundant > But signal on human capability is increasingly scarce This salon brings together a curated group of founders, investors, and operators to explore how labor markets are evolving - and where capital is likely to flow next. We’ll discuss: > Where displaced talent goes - and where new demand is actually emerging > What replaces traditional entry pathways - and who controls access to opportunity > Which sectors expand vs. contract - and why the market may be mispricing both > Where talent is being undervalued - and how that creates asymmetric opportunity > What new infrastructure is needed - and which companies could define it Join Light Dao, and conscious investors and entrepreneurs for an evening filled with connection and deep conversations with Jenny Fielding, Co-Founder & Managing Partner of Everywhere Ventures, and Shrinidhi Rao, Director of Workforce Innovation at The Burning Glass Institute.
