Thank you @TheBostonDAO for having our CEO, John Calabrese, speak last Friday!
If you couldn’t make it, John spoke about what building offensive AI has taught us about securing agents.
But the interesting thing was in a room full of some of the most educated people on the topic of agentic finance
John asked the room: how many were running agents?
10 hands went up
He followed up: how many connected those agents to financial infrastructure?
One single hand.
And it was a testnet.
The audience who are experts on this topic don’t trust it.
That is the bottleneck in agentic finance.
Trust.
That is why we focus on Outcomes > Permissions.
Instead of asking: What is my agent allowed to do?
Start asking: What can the agent ultimately cause to happen?
When you focus on outcome based security, trust will follow.
Boston showed up. 🧡
Despite the storm rolling in, we closed out Converge with an incredible group of builders, founders, investors, and friends.
Thank you to everyone who spoke, shared, connected, and made the day what it was.
And yes, that sky was real. 🌅
Until next time..
