Roundtable | Inside the Incumbent Mindset on AI: A Playbook for Startups That Want to Matter
In this session, Rakefet Russak-Aminoach, Managing Partner at Team8 and BNY board member cuts through the AI hype to reveal how major financial institutions and enterprise leaders actually evaluate new technology. You’ll hear the real questions boards and CEOs are asking, the risks that stall adoption, and the signals they look for when deciding which startups to buy or integrate. Founders and executives will learn how to frame value in “incumbent language,” where AI truly moves the needle in legacy environments, and how to shift from a flashy demo to a must-have strategic partner.
