FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

SEATTLE, October 13, 2026 - i2VC announced today that it is participating as a Community Partner for the AI Builders Global Conference 2026, taking place virtually October 14-16, 2026.

As part of the program, Darshan Honale, Founder of i2VC, will present "Beyond the Demo: What Investors Should Actually Diligence in AI Companies in 2026" on Thursday, October 15 at 11:30 AM EDT. The session looks at how investors can evaluate AI startups beyond the initial technology story, including workflow ownership, customer ROI, defensibility, data advantage, enterprise readiness, go-to-market and capital efficiency.

The AI Builders Global Conference brings together a global community of AI founders, builders, executives and investors for three days of programming focused on building, deploying and scaling AI.

"AI products are becoming easier to build, which makes the diligence question more important," said Darshan Honale, Founder of i2VC. "The real test is no longer whether a company can create a compelling demo. It is whether there is a durable business underneath it."
