Mark Pincus (Zynga founder), Adeo Ressi & Eric Ries — spontaneous FounderX 2026 fireside on ambition, financial gravity, and 'the inventor of MVP'

At FounderX in Oakland, Adeo Ressi of the Founder Institute was hosting a fireside with Zynga founder Mark Pincus when Pincus challenged the MVP framing and Ressi called Eric up on stage. Wellinghoff, who founded WebASI and was CTO at JetAI, posted the three-way panel that followed.

“@adeoressi, @markpinc and @ericries joined together to have spontaneous group panel on Life At Speed of Play + the Financial Gravity (Incorruptible) of being a founder and how big companies end up drifting away from their mission and customers.” — Jacob Wellinghoff on X
