Operation Easter Bunny & the AI Startup Machine: Episode 1


Listen Later

In our first diary entry under the new Founder Therapy podcast format, Doug and Rich talk candidly about hitting their Q1 goals through relentless focus and operational discipline—dubbed "Operation Easter Bunny."
Rich shares an early look at a new AI-enabled accelerator model that could reshape early-stage product development. Doug opens up about the challenge of finding great-fit clients and building a smarter LinkedIn sales motion.
We cover:

  • What’s working (and not) in early-stage outreach
  • Building trust in placements and fixing issues, not ignoring them
  • The role AI will play in zero-to-one product development
  • How to raise capital smartly—and where we’d start
  • Why cultural fit in clients matters more than revenue

This is real-time, unscripted, in-the-trenches founder talk. Join us weekly for wins, fuck-ups, and the hard-won lessons of actually doing the work.
