The Era of Superintelligence
AI, crypto, and the next economy.
As AI systems become more capable, the question for founders is shifting: what happens when software can act, transact, and create value on our behalf? Crypto brings a complementary set of tools—programmable money, digital ownership, and verifiable transactions—that could help this emerging economy operate.
The 5th Annual BCVC Founder Summit brings founders, investors, and industry leaders together to explore that intersection: how AI agents could use stablecoins, how open networks can support trust, and where new businesses will emerge. Join us on November 6, 2026, for candid conversations about the opportunities, risks, and decisions ahead.
