At Every’s first Thesis conference, Nat Eliason is slated to discuss what teenage students at Alpha School’s Founders School have learned while building businesses with AI. The half-hour conversation will address whether entrepreneurship can be taught, why expertise matters more as AI spreads, and how to get young builders to use AI less—a practical look at developing judgment alongside AI skills. The session is scheduled for November 5, 2026; livestream access is registration-based and limited to selected sessions, while full recordings are reserved for paid Every members.
The session runs from 2:45 to 3:15 p.m. ET in the Salon on Floor 3 at Pioneer Works in Red Hook, Brooklyn.
Every editor in chief Kate Lee will moderate the conversation.
Thesis: 2027 takes place in 2026 and lists 25 sessions across three stages.
On November 5, 2026, Nat Eliason will discuss teenage founders working with AI at Thesis: 2027, from 2:45–3:15 p.m. ET at Pioneer Works in Brooklyn. Every’s official session page offers livestream registration for remote viewers. The conversation will draw on his teenage students’ experiences building real businesses at Alpha School’s Founders School.
The half-hour conversation, titled “What Teenage Founders Teach Us About Working With AI,” is scheduled for the Salon on Floor 3. Pioneer Works is in Red Hook, Brooklyn. The afternoon slot is this session’s start time, not the conference opening.
For remote viewers, use the registration invitation on the session page. Every’s viewing guide says a free Every subscription provides livestream access to selected sessions. That is not a promise to broadcast the entire conference, and the guide does not identify which individual sessions will be streamed.
Eliason is listed as co-head of Founders School at Alpha School. Kate Lee, Every’s editor in chief, will moderate. The announced conversation starts with whether entrepreneurship can be taught and what it means to raise founders who grow up with AI.
The session description pairs those questions with two specific topics: why expertise matters more than ever, and how to make young builders use AI less. Alongside lessons from his students’ businesses, those are the practical issues Eliason is scheduled to address.
Thesis: 2027 is Every’s first conference, organized around the future of work after automation. Despite the name, this edition takes place in 2026. Eliason’s conversation is part of a program listing 25 sessions across three stages, with speakers from OpenAI, Notion, Sequoia and Microsoft.
Story updates
On November 5, Dan Shipper will close Thesis: 2027 with a session on human work after automation, scheduled for 4:25–4:55 p.m. ET at Agora, Floor 1. Every’s official session page offers livestream registration. The announced focus is AI that extends human perception and agency, rather than replacing them.
The half-hour session is titled “A New Vision for Human Work After Automation.” Shipper is listed as Every’s CEO. His afternoon slot is the closing session, not the conference’s opening time; the schedule identifies its location as Agora on Floor 1.
For remote viewers, the page directs readers to register for the livestream. It does not supply a direct stream address in its text, so the registration invitation is the published viewing route rather than a link straight to a player.
AI progress creates more work for humans, not less.
The session description starts with a criticism of frontier models—the leading AI systems. It argues that training them to satisfy an average user produces outputs that impress in demonstrations but fail when applied to projects people care about. That is the organizer’s framing of the problem, not a benchmark result.
Shipper’s announced response is a vision for building and working with AI that extends people’s perception and agency: their ability to see and act. The agenda pairs those two activities—building AI and working with it—rather than presenting automation only as a way to replace human effort.
The closing talk sits within a conference that says it will host 25 sessions across three stages on November 5. The program brings together founders, researchers, executives and operators, with speakers from OpenAI, Notion, Sequoia and Microsoft. Its stated theme is what great human work looks like after automation.
