Where Few Start-Ups Dare to Go


Listen Later

It’s hard to imagine anything less glamorous than government procurement, but that’s exactly why August Chen was drawn to it. The CEO and co-founder of Hazel talks to Bradley about the power of AI to modernize the purchase of billions upon billions of goods and services every year. Chen, who cut his teeth at Palantir, explains why legacy systems are so resistant to change, how Hazel earns trust, and what most people get wrong about working with government.

This episode was taped at P&T Knitwear at 180 Orchard Street — New York City’s only free podcast recording studio.
