💡 NY Enterprise Tech Meetup: Navigating Product and GTM in the AI Market with Graphite & Superblocks - Tues. 7/15 @ 6PM ET
🚀 Building and selling in 2025 looks different.
🗽 If you're a technical founder or operator in NYC, don't miss our July NY Enterprise Tech Meetup for a candid conversation with the founders of Graphite and Superblocks. We will discuss how to build, adapt, and find your footing in a market that’s evolving as quickly as AI is reshaping it.
🤖 We’ll dig into what it takes to build a company when user expectations are shifting, iteration cycles are compressing, and the lines between product and go-to-market are increasingly blurred. Whether your company started before or after ChatGPT, you’re now operating in a different world.
✍🏽 We’ll talk about how to stay close to real customer problems, and how to evolve your product and positioning when the category itself is still being formed. Founders need to stay close to both product and customer. In a market moving this quickly, that’s the only way to build the right thing.
🧨 Merrill and Brad will share hard-earned lessons from building through uncertainty, iterating quickly, and staying focused on the fundamentals as the market shifts around them.
🔥 Fireside chat with:
Merrill Lutsky, Founder & CEO of Graphite
Brad Menezes, Founder & CEO of Superblocks
🧠 Graphite recently raised a $52M Series B and launched Diamond, its AI-powered code review agent. Diamond delivers instant, codebase-aware feedback on every pull request, helping developers catch bugs, logic errors, and style issues in seconds. The platform also supports customizable rules, stacked PRs, and self-healing CI. Engineering teams at companies like Shopify, Snowflake, and Figma use Graphite to ship high-quality code faster.
🛠️ Superblocks recently introduced Clark, an AI agent that helps developers build production-grade internal apps from natural language prompts. Clark combines AI-generated code, visual editing, and full control with React, while enforcing enterprise standards like audit logging, SSO, RBAC, and compliance. With around $60M in funding, Superblocks is already supporting teams at companies like Instacart to accelerate internal tooling development.
✨ If you're a technical founder or early operator navigating this new terrain, this conversation will leave you with real, hard-earned insight into what it means to build right now.
