,A lawyer on the side of the founder: how to build an IT company and avoid the most common mistakes

What are the most common legal mistakes startups make? How to protect intellectual property, properly formalize relationships with the team and prepare to work with investors?

, An open online meetup "AI Development Maturity Ladder"

Almost everyone can assemble an AI agent today: YouTube, vibcode, a couple of evenings.
 And only a few are brought to the market. It's not the code that gets in the way: the agent can't be trusted, it's not clear why it broke down, and it's unclear how much it costs.

At an open meeting, we will analyze a map of 5 stages of AI development maturity - from vibcode to enterprise – and you will see at which stage your project is stuck.

In the final, there will be a presentation of the course "Product AI Development" (AI-Driven Development: Level 2).

, What will happen at the meetup

• Maturity map: 5 steps – from prototype to enterprise, what you get at each stage and where it breaks down on the scale.

• The "prototype → prod" gap: the four reasons why projects die in transition are trust, observability, cost, and security.

• One example at all levels: an end–to-end development assistant - how a single task changes from a vibcode to an enterprise.

• 4 pillars of production: evals, observability, FinOps, security – something that is not in the YouTube tutorials.

• Live analysis of questions: bring your case – n8n-flow, agent, security contour – let's figure out where the ceiling is.

• Presentation of the course "Product AI development".

, Speakers

• Pavel Veynik – Solution Architect, founder of Hard&Soft Skills, author and lecturer of the course. At the meetup, he holds the architectural frame and leads the enterprise stage.

• Sergey Golubev – Product Manager & AI Creator, lecturer of AI-Driven Development and "Product AI Development" courses, 16+ years in IT. He shows the lower steps using examples from his products.

, Who will benefit from it

• Engineers, architects, and tech leaders who need to bring AI to market rather than leave it at Jupyter.

• Those who have already assembled an agent or pipeline, but have come up against trust, cost and observability.

• For those who want a system and a route, and not scattered demos from YouTube.

🗓 July 14, 2026, 21:00 (Astana) / 19:00 (GMT+3)

You can't fool Holdout: why a successful test is not a victory yet
