GTM Summit: building presence in an AI slop market Hosted by Anwar Enterprises and Founder Social Club The market is flooded. AI has made content infinitely cheap, which means attention has never been more expensive. Everyone can ship, post, and generate, so the question is no longer "can you make it" but "why would anyone pick you." This GTM Summit is built for the founders, operators, and creators trying to answer that, both for their companies and for themselves. Across a panel and an open mixer, 120 builders will get tactical on how to actually go to market and cut through. Not theory. How to build a presence that compounds, how to position so you stick when the feed forgets everyone else by morning, and how to find the wedge that AI can't flatten: taste, point of view, and a real audience that trusts you. What we'll cover Going to market when distribution is the moat, not the productBuilding a presence (company and personal) that survives an AI-saturated feedPositioning and taste as the things that can't be automated awayTurning a launch into a movement instead of a one-day spike The panel We're bringing together operators who have done this at scale, including the team behind ImagineArt, one of the fastest-growing generative AI platforms in the world (150M+ downloads, $23M+ ARR, built largely outside the traditional Silicon Valley playbook). Joining us is Ahmed Abu Bakr, co-founder and CEO of ImagineArt and Vyro AI, who has built a top-3 global text-to-image product from the ground up, alongside Guido Callarelli, who has worked with Kanye West and Virgil Abloh and runs Irys. They know the AI slop problem firsthand, because they build the tools and still have to stand out with them. FormatPanel discussion, then an open mixer. Come for the tactics, stay for the room.
