Agnes Kay

Head of Business Development, Liv.it

From Bali

Building

What do I do? A bit of everything to accelerate the growth of Tech Startups and SMEs. Where? Across Asia. The focus is on Retention and Talent Acquisition of senior techno-commercial professionals. I also built inside sales and lead generation processes.

How have I started the journey towards the Future of Work? Winning 2 grants for 2 faculties in 2 Universities, I could not choose, and I took them both. This way, I graduated from Sociology (economics and advertising) and Polish Philology (language for foreigners).

Education and facilitating communities became my lifetime passion. However, my primary focus was always in the business world. Exposure to various industries (from the energy market, renewable energy, in particular, investment and trading to education and entrepreneurs) provided a solid overview of functioning with and within organizations on all levels. Within 10 years of my career, I spent 5 in Business Development, 2 in Management, and 5 in Sales.

Naval and Nivi: The AI Industrial Revolution with Guillermo Rauch, Blake Scholl, Max Hodak

Naval and Nivi sit down with Guillermo Rauch (Vercel), Blake Scholl (Boom Supersonic), and Max Hodak (Science) on AI as the next industrial revolution. The conversation covers software factories and waste tokens, vibe coding hardware (Blake's turbine blade), the regulatory frontier (why China's FDA is beating ours), and the autonomous company (what it means when your job becomes training the agent). Worth watching for how three founders building in very different stacks converge on the same questions.

Nikunj Kothari built Nock: a Claude Code skill that pitches like him

Nikunj Kothari (partner at FPV Ventures) used Claude Code to build Nock, a personal skill grounded in his real conversations. He pulled 200+ founder pitch notes captured by Granola, narrowed to ~53 with the strongest debate, layered in his essays on the kind of founders he loves, then iterated against 5-10 real decks until the output matched what he'd actually ask in the room. Founders raising can try it at nikunjk.com/nock; VCs who want their own can build at nikunjk.com/buildnock.

Can Tech Legends Find the Liar? Mafia with Founders Fund

Founders Fund gathered Sam Altman, Palmer Luckey, Bryan Johnson, Dylan Field, Moxie Marlinspike, Tim Urban, Ryan Petersen, Liv Boeree, Cyan Banister, Trae Stephens, Josie Zayner, and Michael Solana for an evening of Mafia, the murder-mystery parlor game. Players are secretly assigned roles and must use deception and debate to eliminate the opposing team before they are outnumbered. Worth watching for how some of the sharpest people in tech read each other under pressure.
