AI-Native Services: Agents in ProductionA YC founder talk with Hedge

AI is now good enough to do real work end to end, not just assist with it. That opens up a new kind of company: AI-native services, which sell the finished outcome instead of software and let agents do most of the work.

Luke Rosa (BA ’24), co-founder and COO of Hedge (YC P26), an AI-native insurance brokerage, will talk about why this approach makes sense now, what deploying agents in production actually looks like (what works, what breaks, and what it takes to make them reliable), and how you can start building this way yourself.

Who should come: students who like building things. CS, data science, econ, or anyone curious about applied AI.

Lunch provided. Hedge is hiring across Engineering and GTM for full time and internships.

Friday, November 13, 12:30 PM · John Crerar Library, Room 298
