Aideation

In this episode of Aideation, TPY Capital’s podcast for founders building in the GenAI world, we dive deep into the intersection of AI and computational biology with Dr. Ido Weiner, CSO of Converge Bio. We discuss what computational biology is and how the field evolved, the pivotal moments that shaped it, the current state of the industry, its holy grail and biggest challenges, where the greatest value is being created in AI-driven drug discovery, and at which stages generative models should be applied, from target discovery to molecule and protein design. We also talk about where the money is flowing and what the ecosystem looks like, what the real moat in bio-AI is, why data is everything and how to avoid pitfalls like bias and overfitting, and finally a personal look ahead at what might surprise us in the next two years.

In this episode of Aideation, TPY Capital’s podcast for GenAI entrepreneurs, we explore the convergence of Quantum Computing and Generative AI.With quantum stocks surging, billion-dollar acquisitions, and major breakthroughs from Google and NVIDIA, the quantum space is back in focus. But what is real today, what is still theoretical, and how does AI actually fit in?Guy Yamen and Dekel Persi are joined by Prof. Dorit Aharonov, co-founder of QEDMA, and Haim Israel, Managing Director of Research at Bank of America Merrill Lynch, to break down the current quantum landscape, explain the growing momentum, and examine where quantum and AI truly intersect, from hybrid systems and optimization to long-term implications for founders and investors.

In this special episode of Aideation, the TPY Capital podcast, we dive into nine bold predictions for the future of Generative AI in the coming year. Joining us for this episode is ⁠Amit Sabag⁠ , an Associate at TPY Capital, as we explore how GenAI is already reshaping industries and where it’s headed next year. Don’t miss this insightful and thought-provoking discussion!

What will the world look like in three years? In Episode 5 of Season 2 of Aideation, we talk with Prof. Gal Chechik, Director of AI Research at NVIDIA Israel and Professor of Computer Science at Bar-Ilan University, to explore where we currently are, and what’s coming.

Gal has spent over two decades shaping the frontier of AI, from his PhD at the Hebrew University and postdoc at Stanford, to leading research teams at Google and now at NVIDIA. His team in Israel works on learning from small data, visual content generation, reinforcement learning, and the interface between AI and the physical world.

In this ‘glimpse into the future’ episode, we ask:

- What surprised even Gal in recent AI breakthroughs?- What are the hottest trends in reasoning, simulation, and physical agents?- Will AI be able to operate in the real world as easily as it chats with us?- And where should today’s entrepreneurs be building?

From LLMs to robotics, from productivity to intuition - this is a conversation about what’s changing, what’s coming, and what could end up surprising us all.

In the 4th episode of Season 2 of Aideation (and the first we ever recorded in English!), TPY Capital’s podcast for GenAI entrepreneurs, we go deep on what “agentic AI” really means, why adoption is still lagging, and the role startups play in the transformation ahead

Joining us is Michael Maoz, SVP of Innovation Strategy at Salesforce.

Michael shares his views from inside one of the world’s leading enterprise software companies - where agentic AI is being explored as the next wave in CRM, customer service, and more.

In this episode:

• What really defines an AI agent (and why it’s different from automation)
• Why over 90% of DIY agent projects fail to scale
• What’s blocking enterprises’ adoption of agents - and what will unblock it
• How data quality became the #1 success factor for agent deployment
• Where agents will break through in CRM and CX
• What Michael would build if he launched a startup today

Marketing is one of the fastest changing business functions - and GenAI is the reason why. In this third episode of the 2nd season of Aideation, we dive into the seismic shifts happening in B2B SaaS marketing and how GenAI is rewriting the rules.

Our guest: Udi Ledergor, Chief Evangelist and former CMO at Gong

Together we explore:

- The marketing strategies that helped Gong scale to hundreds of millions in revenue

- How GenAI is cutting campaign launch time from 8 weeks to 48 hours

- Where GenAI tools help-and where they still fail

- What’s coming in the next 12–24 months, from Vibe Marketing to AI-run teams

- How to build a modern B2B marketing team from the ground up in the age of GenAI

Packed with frameworks, data points, and hard-won lessons, this episode is a must for marketers, founders, and anyone intrigued with how GenAI fundamentally changes what storytelling is.

As GenAI native applications gain growing commercial traction, many startups are struggling to turn a promising POC into a robust, scalable production product.

In this second episode of Aideation – Season 2 by TPY Capital, we explore what it really takes to successfully cross that gap between POC and production.

Our guests:

- Eli Brosh, Head of AI research at Wix

- Nir Makmal, Principal Engineer, AI and Innovation at Intuit

In this episode we discuss:

1. Why POCs are getting easier - but production is getting harder

2. The top pitfalls and infrastructure blockers GenAI startups face

3. The frameworks teams in leading enterprises use to bridge the gap

4. When open-source is your friend (and when it’s a trap)

5. What you must be ready for if you want your solution to scale in the enterprise

If you're building your GenAI product for the enterprise, or if you’re struggling to turn your demo into a real product - this one’s for you.

Early-stage founders often hesitate to engage with consulting firms and integrators, concerned about the frictions of such a partnership, the need for customization and the distance from the end user. But in the GenAI era, should startups jump in?

In this episode of Aideation, meets Ben Ellencweig, Senior Partner at McKinsey & Company and Global Leader of QuantumBlack (AI by McKinsey), to explore how professional services can shift from being a an ancillary go-to-market channel for later stage startups, to - potentially - a strategic multiplier for early stage ones. Ben shares:

- How GenAI changed McKinsey- How consulting firms are changing the way they work with AI-native startups- Do’s and don’ts of in the startup/consulting firm partnership - The KPIs that matter most in such a collaboration- Where founders should focus their attention on when ideating a new startup

Whether you’re a founder, investor, or advisor, this episode offers a fresh look at the evolving interface between startups and professional service giants.
