Founded in 1977, NEA has backed many category-defining companies over nearly five decades. Two of their portfolio companies will be represented in the programme.

– Horizon3.ai is an AI-native cybersecurity company focused on autonomous penetration testing and proactive attack-surface management. Founded in 2019 and headquartered in San Francisco, the company is best known for its flagship platform, NodeZero®, which continuously simulates real-world cyberattacks to identify exploitable vulnerabilities before attackers do.

– Granica is an AI data infrastructure company focused on helping enterprises make their data smaller, cheaper, safer, and more useful for AI workloads. The company develops software that optimizes unstructured and structured data for large-scale AI and analytics systems.

Andreessen Horowitz (a16z) is a venture capital firm. It invests across all stages—from seed to growth—in sectors including AI, and enterprise. Known for a unique, operator-focused model, a16z provides extensive, hands-on support to portfolio companies.
Following a presentation from Angela Strange they will be presenting four companies:

– Larridin is an enterprise AI intelligence and measurement platform focused on helping organisations understand, govern, and optimize how AI is actually being used across the workforce.

– ElevenLabs ElevenLabs is one of the leading AI voice companies globally, focused on highly realistic text-to-speech (TTS), voice cloning, speech generation, and conversational AI audio infrastructure.

– Very Good Security is best known for its tokenisation infrastructure, which allows organisations to reduce compliance burden and security risk by replacing sensitive data with secure aliases (“tokens”).

– CYGNVS is a cyber crisis management and incident response coordination platform designed to help organizations manage major cybersecurity incidents in real time.

– Sola is an AI-native automation platform that uses intelligent agents to automate complex enterprise workflows and replace traditional rule-based process automation systems.

This visit will help the group understand how to transition from a data utility to a full-stack intelligence ecosystem for commercialising data as a platform rather than just a service. Presentations will also cover NVIDIA’s ‘Speed of Light’ management philosophy, including flat decision-making and simultaneous workflows, designed to eliminate organisational friction. It will also include an hour in their demo room showcasing their latest technology, relevant to Experian.

In the session we explore how to implement Anthropics’ virtuous circle of helping employees across all functions make processes go faster, leading to capacity growth and ability to use commercial data to create new products against rigorous safety standards. Themes will be illustrated by case study examples.

The OpenAI session will focus on growth and innovation. It will include a combination of enterprise case studies of AI roll-out and implementation; research into the economic impact of AI and looking to the future of the workforce including the emergence of new roles; and hands-on demonstration.

“Culture used to travel through people. Now it travels through systems.”

The LinkedIn session explores the benefits, pitfalls and impact of ‘doubling your workforce’ with agents. Their key principle is that AI systems are not just tools, they are participants in the operating model and position AI at scale as not just about intelligence, it’s about encoding culture into systems. We hear from David White, VP of People Analytics, who will focus on leadership and the impact of an agentic workforce on culture.
