May 21 Drill Down Ep. #254: Innventure (INV:NASDAQ) CEO Bill Haskell
Innventure booked more than $50 million in orders during the first quarter of 2026 while reporting $1.4 million in revenue and a going-concern warning in the same SEC filing. CEO Bill Haskell explains how the company's three-subsidiary model — Accelsius in AI data center cooling, AeroFlexx in sustainable packaging, and Refinity in chemical plastic recycling — is supposed to reach consolidated cash flow break-even by 2028, and what the actual mile markers are between here and there. The timeline is tight, the activist pressure is real but conditionally withdrawn, and the Accelsius revenue ramp is the fulcrum everything else pivots on.

March 27 Drill Down, Ep. #253: Xanadu Quantum Technologies (CLUM:NASDAQ) CEO Christian Weedbrook
Xanadu is heading toward the public markets with a SPAC transaction that could deliver roughly $500 million in gross proceeds, putting fresh scrutiny on whether photonic quantum computing can move beyond being a science project. CEO Christian Weedbrook lays out why Xanadu believes networking quantum systems across server racks changes the scaling equation, and where optical loss and error correction still threaten timelines.
The conversation explains how PennyLane became one of the most widely used quantum software platforms, and why software adoption may matter more than qubit counts. Weedbrook also addresses what commercial workloads might realistically arrive before fault tolerance, and which won’t. With backers including Advanced Micro Devices, the stakes are no longer academic — they’re financial, operational and soon to be public.

This conversation examines how Joaquin Cuenca turned a bootstrapped image library into an AI content company, navigated the intellectual property crisis that damaged his competitors, and now manages the expectations of a private equity owner with a defined exit horizon. The timing matters: the AI content market is sorting winners from casualties in real time.
