Building Software Factories

VIP Dinner with Kiro & B-Capital in San Francisco

An intimate evening for technical leaders and practitioners focused on the next frontier of automated software production.

On April 29th, AI Tinkerers, Kiro, and B-Capital are convening 20 builders in San Francisco to discuss the transition from AI-assisted autocomplete to fully automated “Software Factories.” This is a curated, seated dinner designed for high-signal technical exchange among those who are actively architecting agentic workflows and code generation at scale.

The Theme: Scaling Automated Production

As frontier models like Claude 4.7 and Gemini 3.1 Flash shift the economics of context and orchestration, the bottleneck is no longer the model—it is the engineering system around it. We are moving toward environments where software is manufactured through verifiable, spec-driven pipelines.

We will spend the evening discussing:

• Orchestration Patterns: How teams are moving beyond simple prompts to multi-agent systems that handle planning, execution, and self-correction.
• Verifiable Output: Techniques for ensuring LLM-generated code meets production standards through automated testing and specification alignment.
• The Shift in IC Roles: How the role of the Staff Engineer evolves when managing a fleet of autonomous coding agents.
• Infrastructure for Factories: The stack required to support persistent, self-evolving codebases without accumulating massive technical debt.

What to Expect

AI Tinkerers VIP Dinners prioritize substantive dialogue over presentations. There are no slide decks and no sales pitches.

• Curated Peer Group: Every attendee is a practitioner or technical leader screened for their experience in automated code generation and agentic workflows.
• Structured Dialogue: A single, moderated conversation where guests share specific case studies, failure modes, and architectural breakthroughs.
• Technical Depth: We skip the high-level AI strategy and focus on the “how”—the specific stacks and workflows delivering results today.

Event Details

• Date: April 29th, 2026
• Time: 6:00 PM - 9:00 PM
• Location: Private venue in San Francisco (Shared with approved guests)
• Capacity: Strictly limited to 20 attendees

About the Sponsors

Kiro

Kiro - Kiro is an agentic development environment that bridges the gap between design docs and working code. By utilizing spec-driven development and autonomous agents, Kiro helps engineers turn prompts into executable specifications, verifiable tests, and production-ready software. Whether you are using the IDE or CLI, the platform enables you to zoom out to the specification level to manage complex features across larger projects with fewer iterations. Kiro brings mature engineering practices to AI coding, providing clear tracking and accountability while automating tedious tasks like documentation and unit test maintenance.

B-Capital

B-Capital is a global investment firm that partners with extraordinary entrepreneurs to shape the future through technology. With over $10 billion in assets under management, they support founders from early-stage to late-stage growth across the technology, healthcare, and climate sectors. Through a strategic partnership with Boston Consulting Group (BCG), B Capital provides startups with deep technical expertise and a vast global network to help them scale efficiently.
