Heads up: this is a hands-on build night and bringing a laptop is mandatory. Stop nursing one precious dev box. Give every agent task its own throwaway machine. A container sandbox keeps your agent from trashing your laptop. A whole disposable VM goes a level further: full-OS isolation, its own kernel, its own everything. Spin it fresh, hand it to the agent, let it run wild, then destroy the box. Nothing leaks back. Nothing accumulates. The VM is cattle, not a pet. VCN #43: Cattle, Not Pets is the builder night where you wire that up. Format: The walkthrough. Firecracker microVMs, Lima, and Multipass — what each one is for, and where a full VM beats a container sandbox. cloud-init to bootstrap the box, snapshot/restore to make spin-up instant. The pattern. One ephemeral VM per agent task. Spin fresh, drop the agent in, run, tear down. We walk the lifecycle end to end. Build your own. Hands-on hour. Write a script that spins a fresh throwaway VM, runs your agent task inside it on Nebius Token Factory credits, and tears it down after. Claude Code on z.ai drives the agent in the box. Demos + social. Show your spin-and-destroy script. Compare snapshots, boot times, and teardown. By 10pm you leave with a script that spins a fresh throwaway VM for an agent task and tears it down after. Builders only. Bring a laptop and an agent task you want to run in full isolation. Doors 7pm. Walkthrough 7:30. Frontier Tower Floor 10. Hosted by Vibe Coding Nights: Rayyan Zahid (Immersive Commons), Michalis Vasileiadis (Hacker Bob), Eric Mockler (AI Geneticist), Devinder Sodhi (Learning Layer Labs). Facilitator: Rayyan Zahid. Guest speaker TBD (open call). Frontier Tower members: your ticket is on us. DM Ray directly for a members only free RSVP. RSVP if you want your agent running in a box you can throw away.

Last time, we made the case for unifying data so agents can actually use it. This session goes a level deeper, into the structures themselves. A vector index, an Iceberg table, an object store full of audio and video, a JSON document, a knowledge graph, a stream of events. Each one answers a different question well and fumbles the rest. Force every modality through a single structure, and you pay for it in latency, storage cost, or meaning you can't get back. Choose well, and the same agent gets faster and cheaper. We'll walk through the various data structures behind multi-modal AI. What each is good at, where each one breaks down, and how to combine them so you don't end up with six disconnected stores nobody can govern. Built for data engineers, AI/ML engineers, and platform architects building for agents and multi-modal workloads. Speakers Talon Miller , Principal Architect, Redis Guy Lubovitch , Director of Customer Engineering, FalkorDB Bharath Krishna & Akshay Thorat , Senior Engineers, Roku Mark Hoerth , Product Lead, Datastrato Want to speak? We're still building the lineup, and your war story is exactly what makes this event worth showing up for. If you've forced a modality through the wrong structure and paid for it, or landed on a combination that actually works, that's the talk. Lightning talks and full sessions both welcome! Submit by July 15: https://forms.gle/6Hf9JrYedJvmDtjZ6 Required for entry AWS Loft venue policy means every registrant must also sign in through AWS here: http://events.builder.aws.com/d/4dz2b8 .

The explosion of AI and SaaS tools has transformed how modern companies build and scale go-to-market teams. But with thousands of solutions promising better productivity, automation, and insights, many organizations find themselves managing bloated tech stacks, disconnected data, and rising software costs. Join us for an engaging discussion on how today’s fastest-growing companies are designing lean, high-impact GTM stacks that drive revenue without unnecessary complexity. We’ll explore the tools teams actually use, how they integrate systems across sales, marketing, customer success, and revenue operations, and how leaders evaluate which tools to adopt, consolidate, or retire. Whether you’re building your first GTM motion or optimizing an existing one, you’ll walk away with practical insights on leveraging AI, improving operational efficiency, and creating a connected GTM ecosystem that scales with your business and not against it. The panel discussion will be followed by networking, light bites, and drinks. With limited seating available, attendance is reserved for founders and GTM leaders at B2B SaaS and AI startups. Panelists: Jonathan Festejo - CEO and Co-founder, Salesbricks A seasoned operator in the high-growth SaaS landscape, Jon Festejo has engineered the revenue systems for industry leaders like Figma, Apollo GraphQL, and SignalFx. As the CEO and Co-founder of Salesbricks, he now focuses on streamlining the quote-to-cash journey for modern GTM teams. His expertise lies at the intersection of pricing strategy, monetization, and billing automation, helping today’s most agile organizations convert complex sales signals into predictable, scalable revenue. Eric Lay - CEO and Co-founder, Virio Eric Lay is a leading voice in content-led B2B growth, commanding a LinkedIn audience of over 42,000.

He spent 14 years at Box in various roles – most recently as Senior Vice President of Sales, where he built global teams and worked with product and marketing to transform the company into a multi-product platform. He helped steer Box from early stage through IPO and beyond – growing revenue from tens of millions to more than $1 billion in ARR. Before Box, he held roles at HP and Oracle. Moderated by: Josh Norris - Startup GTM Advisor Josh builds go-to-market engines for B2B SaaS startups, turning early revenue into fundable growth. At Hyperbound (YC S23), he helped it scale from $0 to $1M ARR in 11 months and through a $15M Series A at Peak XV. He has also driven $0 to $900K ARR at Syft AI, advised Warmly from ~$1M to $7.5M ARR, and worked with 90+ startups (14 YC). Now Josh designs GTM systems starting with a 4-week narrative sprint (positioning, ICP, messaging) followed by ongoing growth engines across content, outbound, and customer proof. Partners: Salesbricks helps SaaS teams close faster and bill smarter.  One seamless platform for quoting, payments, and revenue insights. Virio helps founders and GTM leaders of verticalized B2B companies turn LinkedIn into a repeatable revenue channel. Across their own content and  clients', they have generated $130M+ in pipeline, 46M+ impressions, and 14,000+ meetings booked. Virio builds content that creates pipeline signals, books meetings, and shortens sales cycles while acting on the signals created through warm outbound. Most early-stage founders treat content as a brand play. Virio has proven it can be a pipeline engine that works especially well for founders. Pylon is the AI-native B2B post-sales platform that helps companies scale customer support and customer success. By unifying conversations, customer data, and AI-powered workflows across Slack, Teams, email, and more, Pylon enables teams to deliver exceptional customer experiences at scale.
