One Knight in Product

Data-Driven Product Development & Ethics in AI (with Korbinian Spann, founder & MD @ Insaas)

Listen Later

An interview with Korbinian Spann. Korbinian started out doing a PhD in Semitic Languages before working in retail and realising he had no way to collate customer feedback. This led him to start building his own solution not once but three times, eventually leading to his own startup and taking data-driven product development to the world.

We talk about a lot, including:

  • How he started out as an intrapreneur with a problem, how he solved it, and how it sparked an idea for his own startup
  • How had to rebuild the same product 3 times, and the importance of forgetting everything and starting from scratch where needed
  • How he's always had a problem solving mind and product management perspective even though he's not a product manager
  • His passion for data-driven product development and how he's attempting to shift the paradigm
  • Some of the challenges in landing data-science backed products with traditional companies that seek certainty
  • Why customer centricity has to be data driven, and why we shouldn't just rely on gut feel to make decisions
  • Whether AI / ML is just good for pitch decks and whether riding the hype is a good thing or not
  • The importance of using the right tech, not just the latest greatest thing, and steering clear of buzzwords
  • How data annotation is the dirty secret of AI backed startups, and how much human effort there really is
  • The importance of ethics and data privacy in AI and how his company are trying to stay on the right side of history

    • And much more!
