Watch our exclusive interview with Prukalpa Sankar, Founder and Co-CEO of Atlan.

What started as SocialCops, one of the largest data rollouts in #India’s history, evolved into Atlan - a modern data infrastructure company.

We started by exploring how the idea for Atlan was born, including the early #product assumptions behind building a #data collaboration and metadata platform that enables companies to truly understand their data.

We then discussed their early #sucess, growing organically from 100 to 500 users in just three months, and why they decided to #pivot and rebuild Atlan - highlighting the critical importance of #integrations and change management.

With the growing gap between #AI’s potential and the actual #ROI from it, we talked about the #AIchasm - from challenges around data readiness, context, and governance, to how solving these issues drives higher adoption.

As #context is king in #AI, we dove into one of their most revolutionary products, #AtlanAI, which brings business context directly into AI use cases.

Lastly, we explored their #DataQualityStudio and how this truly positions Atlan as a #platform, not just a single product.

Watch our exclusive interview with Teddy Solomon, Co-Founder and CEO of Fizz.

Meet the story of Fizz - a #SocialNetwork operating across 700+ US campuses, built to bring the social part back.

We started by discussing the '99% of life' you’re more likely to see on Fizz than anywhere else - from failing an #exam, to figuring out which #party to go to tonight, to selling your #bike on campus.

We then explored their #expansion strategy, including products like #GlobalFizz, which extends the social experience even after graduation.

With Fizz ads generating a 3%-18% #CTR, we dove into what drives that success - from working closely with #brands students love like Perplexity, Quizlet and Sony, to carefully crafting #ads that add value without inundating the feed.

Another interesting point was their operational #discipline: keeping the majority of their $25M #SeriesB still in the #bank, running a lean team of ~30 employees, and spending very little on #marketing.

Lastly, we discussed their decision to #relocate from SF to #NYC, where it’s easier to build a startup today? how user #behavior has changed over the last five years? and their latest product addition - #FizzMarketplace.

And guess Teddy’s alternate-universe #profession? 🏪👨‍🍳🍳

Watch our exclusive interview with Wade Foster, Co-Founder and CEO of Zapier.

Raising only about $1M, staying fully #remote, and reaching a #valuation of more than $5B - this is the story of Zapier.

We started by exploring Zapier’s decision to be fully #remote from day one: from the philosophy of “hire when it hurts,” to documenting all communication across tools, and now taking it a step further by using #agents to activate that knowledge and drive a new level of #effectiveness.

We then dove into how Zapier adapted to the #AI era - from the co-founders going back to the ground floor, to declaring “#CodeRed” after #customer conversations, recognizing the #disruption potential, and ultimately launching #ZapierAgents and #MCP.

Next, we discussed their decision to grow not only through #PLG, but also with a dedicated #sales motion - what led them there, and the #mindset shifts required to make it work.

As the world evolves, we asked: who is the #automation hero of #2026? The builder, or the manager of agents? And what does it truly mean to be a #builder in this new era?

We also touched on #ZapierCanvas, what it could mean for #implementation partners, and added the story of Zapier’s very first #customer, and how it all led to where the company is today.

Lastly, what is Wade’s alternate-universe #profession? 🌍⚙️🤖

With more than 40 million registered #users across 75 countries, eToro has redefined the concept of #SocialInvesting.

We began by exploring the GameStop saga and the broader #MemeStock phenomenon of 2021, and how it ultimately helped to #develop the eToro platform - enabling users today to build #portfolios around timely themes, including the recent buzz around #quantum computing stocks.

We continued to intersection of #SocialInvesting and #AI, discussing tools that allow users to build #apps or agents on top of eToro, like Chief Investment Officer agent that #automatically reads news, helping users stay ahead of the curve.

This naturally led to a discussion about eToro’s newly launched #quantitative smart portfolio tools.

We then took a broad look at the #fintech market, discussing the #HolyTtrinity of fintech - applications, operations, and regulation - alongside topics such as #tokenization and the potential move to 24/7 #trading.

Watch our exclusive interview with Tomer Cohen, Chief Product Officer of LinkedIn.

With over 1B #users on the platform - and as the #JobMarket is being reshaped by #AI- there is no better person to host than the one building LinkedIn.

We started by discussing the evolving job market, new #AI-driven job verticals, and one of the #fastest-growing areas: #training AI models across #industries - from legal and sports to many others.

We then turned to one of Tomer’s favorite #quotes:

“We might be wrong, but not confused.”

This led us into a thoughtful discussion on #AI: 🤖⚖️

Is it morally #good or #bad? A moral actor in itself - or simply a #technology whose impact depends on how we choose to #deploy it?

We then explored some fascinating LinkedIn data:

📊 By #2030, 70% of the #skills required to do #today’s jobs will change

🚀 70% of the most in-demand #roles in LinkedIn’s 'Jobs on the Rise report' didn’t #exist the year before

🔁 Someone entering the #JobMarket today will hold 2× as many jobs as someone did 15 years ago

From there, we explored LinkedIn’s #FullStackBuilderProgram 🧩:

Building end-to-end products, finding product-market fit, and why #meritocracy matters more than ever.

We then zoomed out to discuss LinkedIn’s product #evolution 🔄: from a job marketplace to a #platform for sharing #ideas - and how #video has become the #fastest-growing format, growing 40% YoY 🎥📈

Watch our exclusive interview with Alex Hawkinson, Founder and CEO of BrightAI.

How many companies do you know that #bootstrapped their way to $80M in #ARR while truly changing the world? This is the story of BrightAI.

From realizing we haven’t truly graduated from #Roman-era #infrastructure maintenance, BrightAI set out to change it - using cutting-edge #observability tools to see in real time, for example, when storms hit, where leaks occur, and which power poles are down.

That naturally led us to discuss their #StatefulOS Physical AI platform, which uses #Edge AI to deliver continuous, 24/7, real-time diagnostics - via #robots or even #wearable tools. The result? Precise, surgical action items and a doubling of #productivity.

We also touched on BrightAI’s #bootstrapped journey to $80M ARR - and whether such #growth is still possible today, or if #VibeCoding tools are only suitable for #MVPs.

From there, we explored a pivotal early decision: going #MultiVertical versus #horizontal. What were the tradeoffs, and why was this choice #essential to their success?

And with discussions about #DataCenters in #space, what role could BrightAI play? Turns out Alex also founded another company- Observable Space.

Lastly, guess what is Alex' favorite movie? ⚔️💥🎬

Houzz has 70 #million home design enthusiasts and 3 million professionals - but did you know it was #bootstrapped for 18 months?

We started by discussing the decision to bootstrap all the way to 350K #users, and why that phase was #pivotal to Houzz’s early #success before bringing in #VCs like oren zeev and Sequoia Capital.

That naturally led to a conversation about their choice to remain #private, and how that has been #instrumental to long-term, #strategic thinking.

We then explored Houzz’s #community-led growth model—how they #pioneered it, how they implemented it, and the impact it had on #product development, from structured timelines for designers to the integration of powerful #AI tools.

Finally, we touched on how Houzz evolves its products, like Houzz Pro, making #design more #fun and productive through tools like #CRM, and adjusting features as the company #expands globally.

Watch our exclusive interview with Andrew Feldman, Founder and CEO of Cerebras.

The #chip company Cerebras just raised $1.1B at an $8.1B valuation.

We started by exploring a bold idea: #DataCenters in #space. Is it feasible? Probably not anytime soon. But every #contrarian idea needs a beginning, and such the story of Cerebras. We discussed why the team chose not to redesign the #GPU, but to build an entirely #new chip.

From the early days of burning $8M a month for 18 months, to one #pivotal Tuesday, when everything finally started to work, on a sunny day in #LosAltos, California

The result: Wafer-Scale Engine (#WSE) - #LargestChip in the World - 46,225mm2.

With newly $1.1B #funding round we explored the areas Cerebras plans to push forward next: faster #computation, more efficient #storage, and higher-speed data movement of the chip.

Lastly, we discussed what #product assumptions Andrew had to unlearn to take Cerebras to the next level - and the #advice he would give to #entrepreneurs today.

From a two-hour #Delhi - Gurugram commute to India’s #leading audio fiction #platform: The Story of Pocket FM.

We started by exploring Pocket FM’s early days - how the team created a new #binge category and chose to #monetize only after three years with their innovative #MicroTransaction, pay-as-you-go model, which helped build a loyal and #engaged listener base.

We then discussed Pocket FM’s #partnership with ElevenLabs, which recently licensed the voices of Michael Caine and #MatthewMcConaughey, and what it means for the future of #creators and #AI on the platform.

We talked how #AI is reshaping #storytelling at Pocket FM - from identifying #blockbuster moments to accelerating content creation and releasing episodes in 20 #languages - and what drove the decision to build #proprietaryAI models.

Another interesting topic we touched is the creation of #ContentHubs in Bangalore, #Mumbai, Los Angeles, and #Berlin, where the majority of their content is produced, along with plans for future #expansion.

Watch our exclusive interview with Reggie Marable, Head of Sales of Sierra.

Sierra just reached $100M in #ARR in only 7 quarters since coming out of stealth- so who better to interview than their Head of Sales?

We started by exploring his #SalesPhilosophy today and how it has evolved over the years. From taking a more #strategic approach to understanding that sales is a business #consulting role, to helping customers succeed by harnessing #technology - and yes, he even wrote a #book about it!

We then discussed how the art of #sales differs across #geographies like the US, EMEA, and APAC, which naturally led to a broader conversation about Sierra’s unique #sales structure, organized by #verticals.

Since Sierra operates in #ConversationalAI, we debated the #future of sales: will #humans still be needed? And what is Sierra’s “Seller of the Future” concept? They even have a sales agent named #ReggieJunior!

Lastly, we touched on the SiriusXM case study and how their #HarmonyAgent - powered by Sierra - can handle #chatting, #negotiation, or even calling a satellite company for you.
