Meet the Speakers: Who is Taking the Stage at the TNW, Oneflow & Flexas Gathering in Amsterdam?
May 27, 2026 – 8:25 am
Four guests, one question: when everyone has AI, what will actually make a SaaS company win? The panel on June 3rd in Amsterdam will try to answer it.
There is a moment, somewhere between the third and fourth AI feature release of the quarter, when even the most enthusiastic founder begins to wonder if anyone is actually buying any of this. Which is precisely why the panel at the TNW, Oneflow & Flexas Gathering Amsterdam on June 3rd is structured around a single, uncomfortable question: when everyone has AI, what will make SaaS companies win?
Today, we are confirming the four guests who will take that question on, moderated by Cristian Dina, co-founder of Tekpon and CRO at TNW, who has interviewed several hundred SaaS founders and seems to know everyone in the room before they arrive.
The Brief: Generative AI has moved from feature to substrate. The interesting work, the work that decides who survives the next two years, is no longer about adding an assistant to a sidebar. It’s about rebuilding product, go-to-market, and operations around the assumption that the model is part of the company, not a bolt-on.
Three threads will run through the conversation:
- Which functions inside a SaaS company get redesigned first, which get redesigned last, and which quietly become irrelevant.
- What turns into a competitive moat in an AI-native world, and what slides into commodity?
- How AI changes pricing, packaging, and unit economics that investors are still being shown in board decks.
A fourth question, which most founders are quietly trying to answer, is woven throughout: how do you avoid shipping demo AI, the kind that wows in a thirty-second video but disappoints in production, instead of real customer value?
Who is on the panel?
-
Sebastian Mertens, Principal AI Product at Make. Make is the no-code automation platform that, over the last two years, has quietly become one of the most-used surfaces for non-technical teams to build with large language models. Mertens runs its applied AI work: the agents, the toolkits, the things that turn a model into something a sales operations lead can actually deploy on a Tuesday. Before Make, he co-founded Wemakefuture, a German automation consultancy.
-
Masha Moisseyeva, Managing Director of DutchBasecamp. DutchBasecamp is the Amsterdam-based program that helps founders enter new markets, a function that becomes considerably more complicated when every product you are competing against has shipped its own version of the same AI feature in the past six months. Moisseyeva is herself a two-time founder, and her remit at DBC, which recently joined forces with ACE, gives her an unusual cross-section of the European startup landscape: who is hiring, who is consolidating, and who is quietly running out of runway.
