🎓 Get Into the Secret Room Where the Agent Era Is Being Written
Last week, we showed you how Genspark went from 0 → $36M ARR in 45 days, with OpenAI and Anthropic both publishing case studies on their work. With such growth, Genspark raised over $160M in the past 18 months. Now, you’re not just reading about it - you’re stepping inside the story. Investors from Silicon Valley to New York have been trying hard to get into the same room with the founders of Genspark, and not many have succeeded.
For decades, work has meant juggling email, docs, slides, and spreadsheets. That stack is collapsing. A new operating system is here, built on intelligent agents that don’t just support work, they deliver it.
What You’ll Experience:
The exclusive opportunity of getting into the same room with the very core people who build one of the world’s most powerful and fast growing AI Super Agent
Learn about why autonomous workflows crush prompt-chaining and redefine speed-to-market
Unfiltered insights from founders who scaled to $36M ARR in just 45 days and raised $160M in 18 months
Potential bonus: Live product battles: Genspark Super Agent vs ChatGPT agents & top competitors
As an AI Collective member, you’re invited into a closed-room gathering on September 24th where the founders themselves reveal the playbook powering the most explosive AI startup in the world. If you’re in San Francisco and an executive or founder, this is the rarest of access: just 50 seats, no outsiders.
Don’t miss this exclusive invitation to a fireside chat with Genspark.ai’s Cofounder in San Francisco. Sign up below!
