Explore what makes a business genuinely defensible in the AI era at this interactive founder-and-investor debate in Bristol. Held during Global Entrepreneurship Week, this one-hour, in-person Catalyst event challenges assumptions about which parts of a company will retain their value as cognitive automation changes customer expectations, competitive dynamics and investment decisions. Marc Richard, chair of the AI Working Group behind the Investing Through Disruption framework and an adviser to owner-managed businesses, will divide attendees by role: founders on one side, investors and angels on the other. The two groups will debate live claims and vote before, during and after each argument. Come prepared to take a position, test your thinking and defend your assessment of your own business. Who it’s for - Founders, particularly those building seed to Series A companies - Investors and angels refining how they assess defensibility during due diligence This is not a conventional talk or a framework presented from the stage. It is an audience-led debate designed to discover whether participants’ beliefs about defensibility hold up under scrutiny. The event runs from 2:30pm to 3:30pm on Thursday 19 November 2026 at the NatWest Accelerator Hub, 2 Avon Street, Bristol BS2 0PT. Cameras and photography will be present; attendees who do not wish to appear in photographs should notify the host. Register for this event
