Beatrice Bushati

Beatrice spent 15 years chasing alpha in finance. Then she quit to build Pirr, where AI unlocks storytelling for the 99% - everyone who never thought of themselves as a creator. An honest, bold talk about mistakes made, lessons learned, the velocity of learning and daring to be different. If you have ever dreamt of building your own thing, this talk ends with one question: what is holding you back?

Pirr is about storytelling - building for one of the biggest entertainment segments on earth. On Pirr’s AI-native platform, readers and AI co-create romance stories together, community drives discovery, and 40% of users become creators, 10x other UGC platforms.
