Hard Things November 2026

The frontier calls again.

​Hard Things returns to our community of Physical AI founders, investors, and ecosystem partners with Adeo Ressi.

​Adeo Ressi is the CEO of Decile Group and Chairman at the Founder Institute, the pre-seed accelerator with chapters in over 250 cities worldwide.

​A founder, investor, and inventor of the SAFE note, Adeo has launched 14 venture capital funds and founded 11 startups, with nearly $2 billion in exits before 30. Through Decile Group and VC Lab, he helps emerging fund managers worldwide access training, tools, and capital to launch firms.

​As a reminder, Hard Things is an invite-only event series organized by Mavka Capital with the support of Foley & Lardner LLP, dedicated to the innovators and breakthroughs shaping Physical AI — the shift from cloud-based intelligence to AI embodied in machines and real-world systems.
