For years, founders have been told to build a defensible moat. But in AI, where platforms, models, and capabilities can shift overnight, that advice is starting to feel outdated. In this episode of Fund/Build/Scale, Simular CEO and co-founder Ang Li talks about what it actually means to build a company when the underlying technology won't sit still. Rather than evangelizing agents or predicting the future of work, Ang gets unusually candid about fragility, speed, judgment, and how founders should think when technical advantages may be temporary by default. The conversation digs into small-team execution, founder productivity, decision-making under uncertainty, and the uncomfortable question many AI founders avoid: what if the next platform update eats your product?  Note: This interview was recorded before Simular closed its $21.5M Series A in December 2025.

Lexi Reese has scaled companies at every stage — from building Google's programmatic advertising business, to helping Gusto grow revenue from $10M to $300M. Now she's co-founder and CEO of Lanai, an enterprise AI startup tackling a problem most companies don't even realize they have: they can't actually see how AI is being used inside their organizations, or whether it's driving real outcomes. In this episode, we unpack what it really looks like to build a company from scratch in the AI era. Lexi walks through how she ran more than 200 customer interviews before committing to a product direction, why product-market fit isn't real until someone is willing to pay, and how she's building a 14-person team — plus AI “teammates” — without losing focus or trust. We also talk about fundraising in a tougher 2025 market, why early founders need to resist the urge to build comprehensive solutions too soon, and how organizational design is already changing as AI flattens hierarchies and reshapes work. If you're thinking about starting a company — or you're in the messy middle of finding product-market fit — this conversation offers a practical roadmap for what actually matters.

The Money Deep Dive: Loans, Leverage, and the Cost of Day ZeroEpisode Summary: Happy New Year! We are officially in 2026, and we are kicking off the year with a masterclass in startup finance. To celebrate our recent win as Course Karma's 2025 Best Facebook Group for Business Management, we are diving straight into the "Day Zero" realities of Dr. Toni Torres and Bloom Dental Co.In this episode, Toni pulls back the curtain on the phase before the lease is signed. We explore the terrifying transition from being an associate to asking a bank for nearly a million dollars. If you have ever wondered how to negotiate with lenders, what insurance you actually need, or how to survive the first 90 days of "insurance lag," this episode is your tactical manual.Time-Stamped Highlights[11:20] – Dental School Doesn't Prepare You for This [12:30] – The First Phone Call: The Rep Connection [14:10] – Approval Before the Search The golden rule of startups: Do not look for a location until you know your budget. Toni explains why she prioritized the loan approval process to understand her square footage limits and avoid "exhausting" herself looking at locations she couldn't afford.[15:45] – Interviewing the Banks: How to Negotiate Terms Toni interviewed four different banks. She breaks down the "vibe check" of lenders and how she used a competing 14-year loan proposal to negotiate her preferred lender's monthly payments in half.[18:30] – Specialized Lenders vs. Big Banks A look at the difference between general banks and medical/dental specific lenders. Why specialized lenders understand the "insane" overhead of dentistry (plumbing, compressors, $130k CAD/CAM setups) that general business lenders might not.[20:10] – The Collateral and the Spouse's Role The weight of the "Personal Guarantee." Toni discusses signing for the loan with her husband, putting their home and investments on the line, and the emotional pressure of having a partner who fully believes in your vision.[22:00] – The Insurance Quadrant: Four Pillars of Protection Lenders won't release funds without these. Toni details the four types of insurance she had to secure:[26:40] – The First 90 Days: Managing Runway Cash Toni shares the "rollercoaster" of the first few months. She explains the reality of opening $7,000 shy of paying the bills due to "insurance lag" and why having at least two months of "runway cash" ($45k–$75k) is critical for survival.[31:15] – Building the "Dream Team" Connect with Toni:Instagram: @the.joyful.dentist • @bloomdental.coConnect with Ashley:Instagram: @ashleyjovesdds

We explore how removing immigration friction and backing immigrant founders at day zero can produce outsized innovation, through the lens of a VC platform and a biotech founder reprogramming tumors with mRNA and AI. The conversation blends policy, venture economics, and a bold oncology thesis with practical advice and personal stories.• immigrant advantage as resilience, clarity, and risk appetite• Unshackled's Day Zero model and economics• technical visionaries and system disruptors archetypes• turning tumors into immune allies with mRNA and AI• off the shelf approach across solid tumors• storytelling skills for technical CEOs• curated community as capital and catalyst• immigration policy takes on points systems and talent pipelines• why fear based rules hurt innovation• reflections on curiosity, kindness, and gritWhat happens when you bet on a founder before there's a product, revenue, or even a company? We bring together Manan Mehta, founding partner at Unshackled Ventures, and Rustam Esanov, co-founder and CEO of Reprogram Biosciences, to unpack how day‑zero investing meets deep tech ambition—and how that mix can upend cancer therapy.Manan opens the curtain on Unshackled's model: underwrite immigrant founders when capital and confidence are scarcest, handle immigration legal end‑to‑end, and curate a community that knows when to introduce the next believer. He breaks down their two founder archetypes—technical visionaries and system disruptors—plus the quotients that matter: intelligence, adversity, emotional, and social. We dig into why early belief earns better economics, how consensus‑driven VC misses mispriced opportunities, and what it takes to move a company from a first experiment to a milestone investors can't ignore.Rustam shares the personal spark behind his mission and the science powering it. Using AI‑guided design and mRNA, his team aims to reprogram tumor cells into immune‑like allies, opening the “fortress” from the inside so the body can attack solid tumors. He explains why an off‑the‑shelf approach beats personalization for scale, how early out‑of‑pocket experiments de‑risked the thesis, and the single most practical lesson he learned transitioning from bench science to CEO: tell a story so clear a teenager can understand it. Manan Mehta: https://www.linkedin.com/in/mananm/Manan Mehta is the Founding Partner of Unshackled Ventures, the only inception-stage (pre-revenue, pre-product, pre-incorporation) venture fund focused entirely on backing immigrant-founded startups.  For over 11 years, Manan has led the firm, which provides capital, network access, and full immigration support, having sponsored over 300 immigration filings for founders, often before they incorporate their businesses. Rustam Esanov:  https://www.linkedin.com/in/rustamesanov/Rustam Esanov is the CEO and Co-founder of Reprogram Biosciences, a deep-tech company developing mRNA reprogramming therapeutics.  His mission is to turn tumors into immune-like allies to treat solid cancers by leveraging a proprietary AI platform to build a precision cell-reprogramming engine to solve one of the most complex challenges in medicine.Website: https://www.position2.com/podcast/Rajiv Parikh: https://www.linkedin.com/in/rajivparikh/Sandeep Parikh: https://www.instagram.com/sandeepparikh/Email us with any feedback for the show: sparkofages.podcast@position2.com

If your organization still views HR as the compliance cops standing by to squash complaints about an AI mandate, this episode is going to upend that thinking. David sits down with Tim Fisher—Head of AI at Black & White Zebra and longtime observer of organizational behavior—to dissect the real challenge of AI adoption in business. What he's learned from being an “HR outsider” is simple but staggering: most companies are treating AI like a tech rollout when the real work is massive human change at scale—the kind of transformation HR has always lived in, even if others failed to notice.From the cavernous disconnect between what HR is being asked to do with AI and what they're actually equipped to do, to why HR leaders must be at the table before strategy is set (not as cleanup crew), today's conversation strips away the myth of AI as just another productivity tool. Tim and David map the human, technical, and leadership gaps that are shaping every AI effort today—and why success in 2026 will look nothing like a rushed compliance sprint.Related Links:Join the People Managing People CommunitySubscribe to the newsletter to get our latest articles and podcastsCheck out this episode's sponsor: Intuit QuickBooks PayrollConnect with Tim on LinkedInCheck out Black & White ZebraSupport the show

"He ushered Biggie to his death." That's what Kirk Burrowes — the co-founder of Bad Boy Entertainment — says in the new Netflix documentary "Sean Combs: The Reckoning." And he's got journals to back it up. The 4-part docuseries, executive produced by 50 Cent, drops bombshell allegations about what really happened in the months leading up to Christopher Wallace's murder on March 9, 1997. According to Burrowes, the story Diddy has told for 30 years — that Biggie wanted to be in LA for a "peace tour" — is a lie. In this episode, we break down: → The journals Kirk Burrowes kept from "Day Zero" at Bad Boy → Allegations that Diddy cancelled Biggie's London trip to "party on enemy turf" → Claims that Biggie's estate was charged for his own funeral → The disturbing "March 9th ritual" Clayton Howard describes → What the jurors said about the Diddy trial → How Combs' team is responding to the documentary Combs has denied all allegations and his team has called this documentary a "shameful hit piece." He is currently serving 50 months in federal prison after being convicted on two Mann Act charges in July 2025. ⚖️ These are allegations from a documentary. Combs has never been charged in connection with Biggie's or Tupac's deaths and maintains his innocence on all claims. #Diddy #SeanCombs #TheReckoning #Biggie #NotoriousBIG #BadBoy #Netflix #Documentary #TrueCrime #CrimeWeekly #50Cent #HipHop #Tupac #March9 #KirkBurrowes Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

This episode of the Pure Report features a conversation with Eugene McGrath, a nine-year veteran of Pure Storage and a Field Solution Architect. Our discussion delves into Gene's diverse background, starting from his early days in IT racking and stacking servers at companies like Microsoft and Pixar, and how that hands-on experience shaped his career. We compare the evolution of his role and the industry, emphasizing the importance of a versatile skill set in the ever-changing tech landscape, particularly with his focus now on converged infrastructure solutions like FlashStack. We then dive into the partnership between Pure Storage and Cisco, specifically around the FlashStack converged infrastructure solution. Gene explains why this decade-long collaboration works, attributing it to a shared philosophy of simplifying infrastructure and improving the customer lifecycle. Our conversation also touches on the recent shift in Cisco's mindset, with Pure Storage taking a more prominent role, including the recent Nutanix partnership announcement. We further explore the concepts of "Day Zero" and "Day One" challenges in infrastructure deployment, emphasizing how Cisco Validated Design and automation mitigate risks and accelerate implementation for customers. Our discussion concludes with the "Hot Takes" segment, where Gene discusses the growing trends of "hypervisor fatigue" and the repatriation of workloads from the cloud due to cost and performance issues. He predicts a significant shift towards containerization as companies seek more agnostic and flexible approaches to their IT infrastructure. Gene also shares a memorable "oops" moment from his career, involving 3,000 servers racked upside down, and offers advice to his younger self about the explosion of data and the increasing importance of data management.
