Navigating AI Startups, Data Scaling, and Venture Economics - Philip Christos

​Just a few years ago, the idea that AI would write the vast majority of code sounded improbable. Today, software engineers rarely write code entirely by hand and that exact same workflow transformation is about to hit every other knowledge worker.

​In this session, Philip Christos from M2VC breaks down the realities of frontier AI, venture economics, and where the AI industry is heading in 2026. For any professional whose early experiments with AI felt clunky or underwhelming, this talk outlines which skills AI agents will acquire next, how frontier labs leverage data, and where the biggest opportunities lie for early-stage AI startups.

​He’ll cover:

  • ​Why the AI transformation experienced by software engineers is coming to PMs, marketers, researchers, and executives.
  • ​How frontier labs utilize pre-training versus post-training data, and where opportunities exist for challenger startups.
  • ​Which skills agents will master next and which tasks remain notoriously difficult for AI to automate.
  • ​What VCs look for in founders, what gets funded today, and how to choose between the solopreneur track vs. building a venture-backed startup.

​About the Speaker:
​Philip Christos is an Associate at M2VC based in Barcelona, Spain, where he focuses on investing in frontier AI. Before joining M2VC in 2026, he spent four years at Terra VC, rising from Analyst to Associate. Today, he is an active voice in the tech community, frequently sharing insights on AI agents, model capabilities, and the evolving landscape of AI scaling and retrieval infrastructure.
