Deterministic vs. Probabilistic: The Right Tech for Finance Problems


Listen Later

Jason Berwanger, CEO and co-founder of Hubify, joins Isaac to discuss why the accounting industry needs to focus on bulletproof automation before jumping into AI solutions. Drawing from his experience leading financial systems through Root Insurance's IPO and now serving high-volume PLG companies like Strava, Jason explains the critical difference between deterministic and probabilistic problems in finance. The conversation covers the challenges of building sustainable accounting tech companies, why venture capital approaches often misalign with accounting buyers' risk tolerance, and how the industry can avoid the pitfalls of "tourist" founders who lack real practitioner experience.
