Mastermind - Bali 2026
A small, vetted gathering of engineers, founders, and investors in Bali. Three days of real conversations on AI, investing, and building your own thing.
A mastermind is a peer group, not an audience. Everyone in the room is a contributor. There are no keynotes, no vendor sponsors, and no filler sessions. We are keeping this small deliberately — 10 to 15 people who can have honest, technical, strategic conversations. Application-based. Every seat matters.

Core topics.
Engineering & AI in production
What is actually working in real systems right now. LLM integration patterns, AI agents that handle real load, building for reliability when the models are moving fast. No demos — only shipped.
Investing in uncertain times
How to allocate capital when geopolitical and economic volatility is the norm. Asset classes, geographic diversification, protecting what you've built, and finding asymmetric opportunities during instability.
Entrepreneurship and building your own thing
The mechanics of starting and growing a business as a technical person. Pricing, hiring, selling without a sales team, staying lean, and the decisions that matter most in the first few years.
How it runs.
Morning sessions
Structured facilitated discussion on each pillar. One topic per morning, full group, no slides unless necessary.
Afternoon workshops
Smaller breakout groups working specific problems. Bring your hardest question — someone in the room has faced it.
Open speaker slots
Any attendee can take a 20-minute slot to share something genuinely useful. No pitches.
Evening networking
Dinners, informal conversations, and the unscheduled time that tends to be the most valuable part.
