Some companies fail because of market changes. Others fail because they run out of money or can’t execute fast enough. Now more than ever, companies break before they even realize what’s happening. They hire the wrong people, avoid hard conversations, trust the wrong signals, and build systems that quietly compound bad decisions. Now AI is accelerating all of it. As part of Boston Tech Week, Dune IRL is partnering with Merraine Group and Galileo to host a candid conversation about scaling the right teams, both human and agentic. Joining the conversation is Mike Lazerow, co-founder of Buddy Media (acquired by Salesforce for $745m) and an active investor who has built and scaled teams through real inflection points. This won’t be another boilerplate “future of AI” panel. We’ll talk about bad hires, fragile systems, leadership mistakes, AI masking dysfunction, and signals most people ignore until it’s too late. Expect sharp perspectives, honest stories, and practical insights from people who’ve made these decisions with real stakes. Followed by a curated networking session with founders and operators actively building and hiring. 6:00pm - 6:30pm Welcome 6:30pm - 7:15pm Panel 7:15pm - 8:00pm Networking Dune IRL connects founder and investor-focused events with sponsors, and helps sponsors assess which events are worth their time and money.
