Nicole and Sandeep, co-founders of Redsand, join me on this episode of Humans in AI to break down what’s really happening in AI infrastructure, decentralised compute, and inference at the edge.

Self-funded from day one, Redsand is building sovereign, hyper-local AI infrastructure for enterprise use cases across the Middle East, Asia and Europe, with the US next on the horizon.

We explore:

⚙️ Decentralised AI infrastructure and edge computing🌍 Data sovereignty, privacy and enterprise AI adoption💰 The real cost of AI infrastructure and fixed-cost models🧠 The shift towards agentic AI and a $30–60bn SaaS opportunity🚀 Scaling self-funded in a capital-intensive AI market🏗 Building partnerships in AI, cloud and digital infrastructure

They also share lessons for founders building in AI, deep tech and cloud infrastructure:

Build a senior team early.Be careful with capital. If you don’t need it, don’t raise it.

Season 4 of Humans in AI is here.

This season, we’re switching things up. We’re still speaking with the brilliant founders and leaders driving innovation across AI, HPC, and GPU infrastructure, but this time, the focus is firmly on what’s happening right now. Tune in as we dive into the roles they’re in, the challenges they’re navigating, and the strategies that are actually working (and the ones that aren’t). Raw, relevant, and straight from the people building the AI ecosystem. New episodes of the Humans In AI podcast are released every Thursday, so make sure you tune in!
