The Silicon Valley Entrepreneurship Club is hosting a forum titled Transformational Impact of Agentic GPT AI and ML: Reshaping Work, Value Chain, Labor Economics and Business Validation on July 17, 2026, from 6:30 PM to 10:00 PM at WVMA, located at 16769 Farley Road in Los Gatos, California. The event features two speakers whose backgrounds span AI coaching, startup founding, and business strategy, and is structured around a detailed programme that moves from individual sessions into a panel discussion exploring the implications of agentic artificial intelligence for how businesses operate, validate their models, and compete in a rapidly shifting economic landscape. Registration is available at tinyurl.com/bdz8tff4.
The evening’s first substantive session, scheduled from 7:15 PM to 7:45 PM, features Ahmed Reza, Founder and Chief Executive Officer of Yobi.com, speaking on scaling startups with AI agents. Reza’s direct experience building and leading a technology company gives him a practitioner’s perspective on how agentic AI systems, which can autonomously execute multi-step tasks and workflows rather than simply responding to individual prompts, are changing what it is possible for a small team to accomplish and how quickly a startup can move from validated concept to operational scale. For founders in the audience who are thinking about how to use AI not as a productivity layer on top of existing processes but as a fundamental rethinking of what their organisation needs to look like, Reza’s session offers the kind of applied insight that comes from having made those decisions under real commercial conditions.
The second session, running from 7:45 PM to 8:15 PM, features Umar Jamil Sear, an AI Coach, Trainer, and Forward President of the Mountain House Muslim Association, presenting on the latest agentic AI tools available for accelerating and validating businesses from the ideation stage. This session addresses one of the more practically consequential questions for early-stage founders and business owners who are trying to understand which of the rapidly proliferating AI tools and platforms are genuinely useful for their specific stage and context, as opposed to those that are impressive in demonstration but difficult to deploy effectively in the day-to-day reality of building a business. The focus on validation is particularly relevant given how significantly agentic AI is changing the economics and the speed of the business validation process, making it possible to test assumptions, generate market intelligence, and iterate on business models at a pace that was not available to founders even two years ago.
A panel discussion featuring both Ahmed Reza and Umar Jamil Sear from 8:45 PM to 9:30 PM gives attendees the opportunity to engage directly with both speakers on the broader themes of the evening, including how agentic AI is reshaping work and labor economics at a structural level beyond the individual startup context. The event is organised by the Silicon Valley Entrepreneurship Club with support from a coalition of partners including Muslim Community Association, West Valley Muslim Association, Shia Association of the Bay Area, Shine Labs, Tech Wadi, Tawasaw, South Bay Islamic Association, Evergreen Islamic Center, Silicon Valley, and Yaseen Foundation, reflecting the event’s positioning within the intersection of Silicon Valley’s technology community and the Bay Area’s Muslim professional and entrepreneurial ecosystem.
