Gaurav Thapar lives life on the edge. He is unashamedly himself and this has seen him go on to raise $3.5m for Fastlane, the AI marketing agent for brands that is doing >$2m in revenue within ~6 months alone.

In today's conversation we unpack how Fastlane is optimising paid-ad campaigns for brands, how he landed the best engineer in the world and why he believes Fastlane is a defensible business that is here to stay for the long term.

Larry Marshall has always been unashamedly curious and willing to hold a different view.

Those who have been following along will know that we have spoken to Larry once before and, after this conversation, don't count out a third!
