The ARC: Building Lasting Value in AI

Wednesday, 11 November 2026

The models are the same for everyone. What isn't?

A small group of around 20 investors, founders, executives and ecosystem builders, discussing how an AI startup builds lasting value. Ninety minutes on the Tagus, during Web Summit week.

The case is Elevatre, a commercial relationship intelligence company. Carambola opens the conversation, and Elevatre’s founder and CEO, Manuelly Almera, shows how she is using AI to build strategic value into ARC, the company’s product.

For the rest of the sail, the conversation among the guests stays open and candid, with no pitch.
