  • The Youngest Iranian Billionaire I Ali Ansari, Founder & CEO of micro1

    Ali Ansari was born in Tehran, moved to the US at 10, graduated Berkeley in three years, and started micro1 as an AI recruiter in April 2022. Then one customer hired 500 engineers in two weeks. Ali figured out they were training models, shut down a business doing millions in revenue, and went all in on data. Fifteen months later micro1 went from $7M to over $500M ARR, Forbes called him one of AI's youngest billionaires, and every major lab, most robotics labs, and Fortune 500 enterprises are customers. This is his first podcast in Persian. We talk about how RL environments and verifiers actually work, why micro1 refuses to work with China, the "expert happiness index" that decides manager commissions, the 10,000 person robotics project, why he never gave up board control, and the three principles he thinks every founder needs.

  • She Took Fitbit From $700M to $2.2B | Yasi Baiani

    Yasi Baiani built sleep and female health at Fitbit, took revenue from $700M to $2.2B, and watched Google buy the company for $2.1B. She started at Citi, moved into venture, launched a startup out of Harvard Innovation Lab alongside Whoop founder Will Ahmed, then wrote her way into Fitbit. After Fitbit she taught product manager at UC Berkeley, unlocked the teen and elder care market at Cleo, and founded Raya Advisory, which helps growth stage AI, software, health tech and fintech companies with product strategy and executive hiring. In this episode: the three rules behind a network of half a million followers, why Fitbit chose sleep over weight loss, how Fitbit lost 90% market share to Apple, who wins wearables in the age of OpenAI hardware, why she never hires from Google for startups, and whether the PM role exists in 2030

  • Is AI Revenue Inflated? | The Dejima Mafia

    Babak Hodjat has been building AI agents since 1998. He said that in front of a room in San Francisco last week, sitting next to his brother Siamak for the first time in 25 years. His argument is narrower than the bubble talk, and more useful. Enterprises are not buying AI because a need has been identified. They are buying because the business side expects productivity in return.

    The engineering that would actually deliver that productivity has not been done yet. Until it is, the revenue is running ahead of the value. He also thinks most of the layoffs attributed to AI were cuts companies could already afford. Babak co-founded Dejima in 1998. The patent behind it, "Adaptive interaction using an adaptive agent-oriented software architecture," carries a June 15 1998 priority date and became foundational to Apple's Siri. Sybase acquired the company in 2004. He went on to co-found Sentient Technologies, applying evolutionary algorithms to trading, and now leads AI at Cognizant.

    Siamak Hodjat was at Dejima from the start and stayed in the assistant world through Siri, Viv Labs and Gameplanner alongside Adam Cheyer.

    Recorded live in San Francisco on July 25, 2026, in front of a room of founders and researchers.

  • Ramin Hassani I Co-Founder & CEO of Liquid AI

    Ramin Hasani is the co-founder and CEO of Liquid AI, and he has done what almost no one in AI has: built a real alternative to the transformer, the architecture behind ChatGPT and nearly every model you touch. Liquid AI raised a $250M Series A led by AMD, and by his own account now sits around $4.5 billion. The core idea did not come from a bigger data center. It came from the 302-neuron brain of a 2mm worm. We also get into the part most founders never put on a slide. While the whole field was stripping complexity out of neural networks to make them scale, Ramin spent seven years adding it back in, chasing an equation about how two neurons talk that had sat unsolved since 1907. He cracked it on a chalkboard at MIT, one now headed to the MIT history museum.

    Ramin was born in Iran and left for Politecnico di Milano, then a PhD at TU Wien in Vienna, where modeling the brain of a worm became Liquid Neural Networks. From there: MIT, CSAIL, a 2022 Nature paper, and in March 2023 spinning the research into Liquid AI alongside Daniela Rus, Mathias Lechner, and Alexander Amini.

  • Young AI Researcher Disrupting the Entire Industry - Ali Behrouz

    Ali Behrouz is an AI researcher and the author of two of the most talked about papers in machine learning right now, Titans and Nested Learning. He is a PhD student at Cornell University and a researcher at Google, and his work takes direct aim at one of the field's biggest questions: what comes after the transformer.

    His paper Nested Learning, which Google's Jeff Dean called a possible paradigm shift, rethinks the whole deep learning stack. In this conversation we get into the back story behind Titans and Nested Learning, how Ali thinks about transformers and where they fall short, the idea that all of deep learning is really associative memory, and his newer work on giving models a kind of "sleep" phase to consolidate what they learn. One of the most insightful conversations we have had on where AI is heading.

    Ali was named as the best AI researcher in 2025 by Second Group: Second Prize Awards 2025, Celebrating the Best Iranian AI Scientists, Roboticist, CEOs & Startups

  • Ali Kashani, Serve Robotics

    Ali Kashani is the co-founder and CEO of Serve Robotics, and he has done what almost no one in Robotics  has: put robots on real streets in dozens of cities and made people love them. He is the youngest Iranian-born CEO on the Nasdaq, the youngest CEO of any robotics company on the exchange, growing revenue around 600 percent year over year and scaling from 100 robots to thousands in a single year.

    We also get into the part most founders never put on a slide. Between spinning out of Uber and ringing the Nasdaq bell, Serve hit its last payroll ten times. Two of those times Ali made payroll out of his own mortgage. 

    Ali was born in Iran and left at 17. He did his robotics PhD at the University of British Columbia on fusing LiDAR and cameras, started an energy hardware company that nearly died and then sold 

    I co-hosted this one with a friend of the pod Brendan, Managing Director of AI and Partner at Human Agency.

  • $3.2B in 10 Years | Martin Basiri

    Martin Basiri built ApplyBoard into a $3.2B company in 10 years, helping over 2 million students study abroad. He is among the very few Iranian immigrants to build a multibillion dollar company in North America, and ApplyBoard alone now contributes 0.6% of Canada's GDP. In this first time Martin shares his full playbook, before his first $3M raise, his vision for the future of immigration, and what he is building next with Passage, a new financial aid platform reimagining how students fund their education.

  • $8.5M in 10 Days with VERIS AI Founders

    در این قسمت میزبان دو هم‌بنیان‌گذار Veris، اندی پرتوی و مهدی جامعی هستیم؛ یکی از سریع‌ترین استارتاپ‌های رو‌به‌رشد در حوزه هوش مصنوعی. Veris در حال ساخت سندباکس ایجنت‌هاست: محیط‌های ایمن و مقیاس‌پذیر که در آن ایجنت‌های هوش مصنوعی می‌توانند قبل از ورود به دنیای واقعی، آموزش ببینند، تست شوند و کارایی واقعی خود را ثابت کنند.

    در این گفت‌وگو، اندی و مهدی درباره محصول، داستان شکل‌گیری، کاربردهای واقعی، و این‌که چطور فقط در ۱۰ روز ۸.۵ میلیون دلار از سرمایه‌گذاران طراز اول جذب کردند صحبت می‌کنند—از تاکتیک‌ها و اشتباهات تا نکاتی که واقعاً برای سرمایه‌گذاران جذاب بود.

    در این قسمت، امیرعلی مهاجر (بنیان‌گذار HostAI ) نیز  همراه ماست.
