We chart how AI leapt from chat to code, why product is now the leverage point, and how startups can market to algorithms without losing trust. David Yakobovitch shares hard-won views on moats, data, defense tech, and the immigrant energy powering American dynamism.• leaders and market share across Google, OpenAI, Anthropic• vibe coding benefits, code quality risks, review loops• prompt libraries, agent swarms, PRD automation• weekly shipping pace and the SaaS squeeze• marketing to algorithms, buyer agents, bot traffic control• pilot to production gap, rise of forward-deployed engineers• moats beyond models via domain, workflow, and proprietary data• China's progress, open source, and on-device AI bets• defense tech, swarms, and physical AI opportunities• endurance mindset, yoga discipline, and founder stamina• personal workflows across Gemini, Claude, and OpenAI• investing across seed and growth with outcome focusThe model wars aren't theoretical anymore—they're shaping how software gets built, shipped, and sold. We sit down with David Yakobovitch, GP at Data Power Capital and former global product lead at Google, to map where AI is actually working in 2026: vibe coding that shrinks teams, agent swarms that harden quality, and product-led moats that outlast model churn. David pulls back the curtain on how Claude, OpenAI, and Google now compete neck and neck on code and content, why prompt engineering as a job vanished while prompts became more valuable, and how forward-deployed engineers bridge the stubborn pilot-to-production gap that has haunted data projects for a decade.We explore go-to-market in a world where buyer agents screen your pitch before a human blinks. That means structuring materials for machines, tuning sites for humans and crawlers, and building demos that agents can evaluate safely. We also go into what happens as models commoditize: the moat shifts to domain depth, proprietary offline data, secure connectors, and measurable workflow outcomes. From small language models running on CPUs in air‑gapped containers to Apple's on-device bet, the edge is back—especially for Europe's sovereignty demands and public sector buyers.Then we widen the lens. Defense and “physical AI” blend hardware and autonomy: swarms, hypersonics, and resilient edge compute that must perform in the real world. David shares why he's backing both the silicon and the software, and how American dynamism—powered by immigrants and impatient builders—remains a durable advantage. Along the way, we trade notes on multi-model workflows, open source momentum, China's narrowed gap, and the endurance mindset that carries teams through the disappointment dip after the first shiny demo.David Yakoboitch: https://www.linkedin.com/in/davidyakobovitch/David Yakobovitch is a General Partner and Managing Director of DataPower Capital, a New York City-based venture capital firm investing across Applied AI, Inference Infrastructure, and DeepTech.

DEEP TECH
theion is developing lithium-sulfur battery technology targeting 500 watt hours per kilogram in their first commercial product—nearly double today's lithium-ion cells at 270-300 Wh/kg—with an ultimate roadmap to 1,000 Wh/kg. By replacing nickel-manganese-cobalt cathodes with crystalline sulfur and graphite anodes with lithium metal, theion aims to deliver three times the energy density at one-third the cost and CO2 footprint of current batteries. In this episode of BUILDERS, we sat down with Dr. Ulrich Ehmes, CEO of theion, to discuss how a production-focused CEO is navigating the journey from TRL 3-4 to pilot line, why they're targeting electric aviation first, and how a 12-year battery industry veteran evaluates what actually constitutes a materials breakthrough. Topics Discussed: Why sulfur cathodes and lithium metal anodes enable the performance jump beyond lithium-ion The critical importance of monoclinic gamma crystalline structure for cycle life Navigating the transition from coin cells to pouch cells to industrialization Strategic decision-making on initial market entry for deep tech hardware Why process innovation in mixing and coating is required to unlock sulfur's full potential Building a China-independent supply chain using oil refining waste The 3-year development reality driven by cycling test requirements GTM Lessons For B2B Founders: Price your technology against value creation, not cost savings alone: Ulrich's market strategy centers on "markets which will pay a lot of money for super lightweight batteries"—specifically aviation applications where weight reduction directly enables business model viability. For eVTOLs, the constraint isn't battery cost but energy density; current batteries make many routes economically impossible. This is fundamentally different from cost-driven markets like consumer EVs where incremental weight savings have marginal value. Deep tech founders should map which customer segments face hard physical constraints that only your technology solves versus those seeking incremental optimization. The former will pay 3-5x premiums; the latter will demand cost parity from day one. Match CEO background to the company's primary risk: Ulrich led Leica's 600-person Portugal production facility for a decade before entering batteries, and he frames his value as "I'm a production guy...for me it's very important not to produce only one battery cell in a lab, but millions of cells in highest quality." For a battery company at TRL 3-4 moving toward industrialization, the existential risk isn't the science—it's whether you can manufacture at quality and yield. Many deep tech companies fail because PhD founders remain CEOs through manufacturing scale-up. Ulrich's hire signals that theion's board correctly diagnosed their de-risking sequence. Founders should brutally assess what will kill the company in the next 24 months and ensure the CEO's pattern recognition matches that failure mode. Seek investors where your technology is infrastructure for their thesis: theion's primary investor is "heavily invested in eVTOLs," making theion's battery technology directly relevant to multiple portfolio companies facing the same energy density constraint. This creates structural alignment on timeline expectations—eVTOL companies won't reach commercial scale before 2027-2028 anyway, matching theion's development cycle. The investor understands that battery development "takes time because always when you change a parameter, you have to cycle again to test the cells." This is radically different from a generalist VC expecting SaaS-like iteration speeds. Hardware founders should explicitly map how their technology unblocks other portfolio companies and use this to negotiate patient capital terms and strategic customer introductions. Use competitive landscape size as legitimacy signal, not differentiation: When pressed on disrupting incumbents, Ulrich immediately countered: "We are not the only company working on sulfur and this is good...there are 28 other companies out there." He then differentiated on "monoclinic gamma crystalline structure" validated by Drexel University achieving 4,000+ cycles. This is sophisticated category positioning: the 28 competitors validate that lithium-sulfur is a credible next-generation technology, while the specific crystalline approach provides technical differentiation for those who understand the chemistry. Founders should resist the urge to claim they're the only ones solving a problem in nascent categories—it raises "why hasn't anyone else tried this?" concerns. Instead, position within an emerging category and differentiate on technical approach. Communicate realistic timelines as competence signaling, not weakness: Ulrich states plainly that commercial availability is "at least the next three years" and frames this as doing "first things first and first things right." For sophisticated buyers in aviation and aerospace, compressed timelines signal naivety about certification requirements, manufacturing validation, and qualification testing. A battery company claiming 12-month commercialization would lose credibility with Boeing or Joby Aviation procurement teams who understand the actual development cycles. Deep tech founders should recognize that customer segments accustomed to long development cycles (aerospace, automotive, medical devices) interpret realistic timelines as domain expertise, while consumer/software buyers may interpret them as lack of urgency. Match timeline communication to buyer sophistication. // Sponsors: Front Lines — We help B2B tech companies launch, manage, and grow podcasts that drive demand, awareness, and thought leadership. www.FrontLines.io The Global Talent Co. — We help tech startups find, vet, hire, pay, and retain amazing marketing talent that costs 50-70% less than the US & Europe. www.GlobalTalent.co // Don't Miss: New Podcast Series — How I Hire Senior GTM leaders share the tactical hiring frameworks they use to build winning revenue teams.

On this episode of Planet Geo, we welcome Danielle Bennett—a startup operator with a venture capital background (and not a geoscientist by training) who's been talking with tons of geologists, hydrogeologists, and engineers while helping build a geoscience-adjacent mapping company at Deep Earth Tech. Danielle shares how growing up with entrepreneur parents (who ran a groundwater-focused engineering firm) shaped her path, why she started a social-impact company in college, and how she moved from corporate finance to FinTech and then into venture capital for about six years. They dig into what she's learned from working with the geoscience community—friendly, non-confrontational, and highly opinionated—and why geoscientists may be slower to found startups (a strong perfection/excellence culture and highly localized expertise). Danielle breaks down “deep tech” in practical terms (asset-heavy and/or science-and-engineering-driven tech), why capital is moving earlier into deep tech, and how VCs are increasingly pulling innovations from universities and incubators. The conversation also gets into which geoscience-adjacent areas feel investable (like shallow geothermal heating/cooling, critical minerals, and renewables) and why groundwater can be harder to fund due to public-agency buying cycles and complex bureaucracy. Danielle closes by defining key funding terms—bootstrapping, debt financing, private equity, and venture capital—plus what VCs look for (why now, why this team, and scale) and common red flags (unclear messaging, weak grasp of numbers, and unjustified mega-rounds).We hope you enjoy this excellent interview!Download the CampGeo app now at this link.

The decision to bootstrap a business or raise venture capital is not just financial. It is physics. You are choosing which system to operate within, which rules will govern your company, and whose incentives will shape your options at every inflection point. Rob Taylor has lived both realities. He spent years building venture-backed companies, raising millions in institutional capital. His brother Chris bootstrapped a company for 20 years and owned nearly 100% at exit. They sold their companies the same year and ended up in roughly the same place financially. The question is what do you optimize for, and the nature of that question is changing daily in the age of AI.

Why do most climate startups fail to scale? Tom Chi, a founding member of Google X and inventor with 77 patents, argues that relying on "Green Premiums" or even price parity is a death sentence. In this interview, he reveals the "CapEx Inertia" trap that prevents factories from adopting new tech and why your solution needs to be 3x cheaper than the incumbent to survive. Tom shares the heartbreaking story of watching a coral reef die in just two months—a tragedy that pushed him from inventing to investing. He breaks down his unique physics-based diligence process (analyzing Matter, Energy, Time, and Space) and explains why he focuses on the four industries responsible for 90% of water pollution. Finally, he shares his life philosophy on why you should focus on "verbs" (your metabolism of learning) rather than "nouns" (status and titles).Check out the company: https://www.atoneventures.com

Agade: The AI-Powered Wearable Robots That Protect Workers, Not Replace Them AI Meets Human CraftsmanshipThere's something poetic about a technology born to help people with muscular dystrophy finding its second life on factory floors and logistics warehouses. That's the story of Agade, an Italian deeptech startup that began as a research project at Politecnico di Milano and evolved into something far more ambitious: a mission to preserve human craftsmanship in an age of automation.I sat down with Lorenzo Aquilante, CEO and co-founder of Agade, to talk about their journey from healthcare innovation to industrial exoskeletons—and what it was like showcasing their latest product at CES 2026.The origin story matters here. Back in 2017, researchers at Politecnico di Milano started developing exoskeletons for people affected by muscular dystrophy. They created something different—a semi-active model powered by AI that recognizes when a user is lifting and responds accordingly. It wasn't just about motors and sensors. It was about intelligence.Then companies came knocking. Manufacturing firms, logistics operations, industries where human workers still matter because their skills, experience, and judgment can't be replaced by machines. They saw potential. Why not use this technology to protect the people doing the heavy lifting—literally?Agade was founded in 2020 with a clear mission: preserve craftsmanship against the physical toll of material handling. Not replace humans. Protect them.The company now has two products. The first, launched in 2024, focuses on shoulder assistance. The second—the one they brought to CES 2026—targets the lower back, which makes sense when you consider that back pain is practically an occupational hazard for anyone moving materials all day.What makes Agade's approach different is that semi-active AI system. The exoskeleton knows when you're lifting. It responds. It's not just a passive brace or a fully motorized suit that takes over. It's somewhere in between—smart enough to help, light enough to wear all day.Lorenzo emphasized something that resonated with me: the importance of feedback. From day one, Agade has been obsessed with real-world testing. Not lab conditions. Actual workers doing actual jobs. Because the buyer isn't the user—companies purchase these for their employees—and that creates a unique dynamic. You need both sides to believe in the technology.The CES experience brought that home. There's always the initial wow factor when someone sees a wearable robot with motors and sensors. But the real work happens after the demo, when users tell you what needs to improve. That's where the collaboration lives.And here's what struck me most about this conversation: Agade isn't trying to remove humans from the equation. They're trying to keep humans in it longer, healthier, and more capable. In a world racing toward full automation, there's something refreshing about a company betting on human skill—and building technology to protect it.The products are available globally. You can reach Agade through their website at agadexoskeletons.com, find them on LinkedIn and other social channels, and even arrange trials before committing to a purchase.For those of us watching the intersection of AI, robotics, and human labor, Agade represents a different path. Not humans versus machines. Humans with machines. Tools that amplify rather than replace.That's a story worth telling.Marco Ciappelli interviews Lorenzo Aquilante, CEO & Co-Founder of Agade, for ITSPmagazine's Brand Highlight series following CES 2026.>>> Marcociappelli.comGUESTLorenzo Aquilante, CEO and co-founder of Agadehttps://www.linkedin.com/in/lorenzo-aquilante-108573b0/RESOURCESAGADE: https://agade-exoskeletons.comAre you interested in telling your story?▶︎ Full Length Brand Story: https://www.studioc60.com/content-creation#full▶︎ Brand Spotlight Story: https://www.studioc60.com/content-creation#spotlight▶︎ Brand Highlight Story: https://www.studioc60.com/content-creation#highlightKEYWORDSAgade, exoskeleton, CES 2026, wearable robotics, AI, future of work, industrial exoskeleton, made in Italy, workplace safety, deeptech, robotics.

The president of the Qatar Science and Technology Park (QSTP), discusses her unique vision for innovation in the Arab world, emphasizing the crucial need to tie technological advancement to our roots, culture, heritage, and fundamental needs. Rama Chakaki shares insights from her career, which is defined by bridging the gap between impact and financial return, and explains QSTP's role as a platform for global innovation, nurturing deep-tech companies in sectors like AI, robotics, and biotech, with a focus on impact. The discussion delves into the pervasive "brain drain" phenomenon, with Chakaki observing a "reverse brain drain" as Arabs return to Doha and the region due to safety, resource availability, and a culture of belonging. She champions a bottom-up approach to innovation and addresses common misconceptions about Arab women in tech, highlighting their high representation in tech degrees and leadership roles. Finally, Chakaki challenges the Silicon Valley "unicorn" model, advocating for a community-built "elephant" model that prioritizes the double or triple bottom line—caring for people, the environment, and financial returns.Explore Qatar Science and Technology Park

In an era where technology continuously shapes our world, the integration of community-driven approaches into asset monitoring presents a transformative opportunity. The recent discussion with Claudia Masciulli, CEO and co-founder of IntelligEarth, sheds light on this innovative paradigm. Founded in 2023 from the esteemed Sapienza University of Rome, IntelligEarth is pioneering a new deep tech solution aimed at enhancing the monitoring and inspection of various assets, including structural health and environmental conditions. Don Baine's CES 2026 conversation explores the significance of community-driven asset monitoring, the challenges it addresses, and the potential it holds for the future.The Concept of Community-Driven MonitoringAt its core, community-driven asset monitoring leverages the power of citizen science and crowdsourced data collection. Rather than relying solely on trained technicians to gather and analyze data, this approach empowers individuals within a community to contribute to the monitoring process. As Masciulli articulates, the technology developed by IntelligEarth taps into the everyday observations of people, allowing them to collect valuable information about their surroundings. This democratization of data collection not only enhances the volume of information available but also fosters a sense of ownership and responsibility among community members regarding their environment.Addressing Urgent ChallengesThe traditional methods of asset monitoring often come with significant limitations. High costs, the need for specialized technicians, and bureaucratic hurdles can hinder effective monitoring, especially in regions where infrastructure is at risk. In Italy, for instance, the alarming rate of building collapses underscores the urgent need for innovative solutions. IntelligEarth's technology addresses these challenges by lowering monitoring costs by up to 19% and expediting the inspection process. By harnessing the collective efforts of the community, the company is not only making monitoring more accessible but also more efficient.The Role of TechnologyIntelligEarth's approach is rooted in advanced technology, including satellite sensors and Earth observation tools. However, the real innovation lies in its ability to transform raw data into actionable insights. Traditionally, sophisticated technologies require significant interpretation by experts, which can limit their application. By involving the community, IntelligEarth creates a system where data collection becomes a shared responsibility, enabling faster and more comprehensive assessments of infrastructure and environmental health. This shift represents a significant leap forward in how we approach asset monitoring, making it more inclusive and responsive to real-time needs.Building Partnerships and AwarenessAs Masciulli represents IntelligEarth at CES, her goals extend beyond showcasing their technology. She aims to raise awareness about the importance of community involvement in monitoring efforts. By engaging potential clients, partners, and investors, she seeks to establish a network that can amplify the impact of their innovations. The participation of the Italian government in supporting her presence at CES highlights the recognition of this approach as a valuable contribution to both technological advancement and societal well-being.ConclusionCommunity-driven asset monitoring represents a significant innovation in how we understand and manage our built and natural environments. By empowering individuals to participate in the monitoring process, companies like IntelligEarth are not only enhancing the efficiency and effectiveness of inspections but also fostering a culture of shared responsibility. As we face increasing challenges related to infrastructure and environmental sustainability, the integration of community insights into monitoring practices will be crucial. The future of asset monitoring lies in collaboration, and through community-driven initiatives, we can create safer, more resilient communities equipped to address the complexities of our world.Interview by Don Baine, The Gadget Professor.Sponsored by: Get $5 to protect your credit card information online with Privacy.

The current venture market is defined by a dangerous decoupling of capital from reality. While the industry chases $10B seed valuations and trillion-dollar infrastructure bets, Brian Smith and S3 Ventures are executing a "Discipline Arbitrage." They argue that the real returns in AI will not come from the massive CapEx spenders, but from the application layer that solves boring, regulated, enterprise problems. This episode audits the structural risks of the current AI wave and explains why staying as a small fund may be the ultimate competitive advantage.

What if our best tools weren't built to sell ads, but to save lives? We sit down with hacker, inventor, and futurist Pablos Holman to chart a pragmatic path for deep tech—one where cryptography protects freedom online, AI helps eradicate disease, and automation buys back human time for higher purpose.Pablos takes us behind the curtain of the 90s cypherpunk movement to clarify why decentralized money mattered in the first place: not speculation, but liberty. He connects the dots from BitTorrent to Bitcoin and onward to a web where payments, compute, and messaging escape walled gardens. Then we pivot to the work that rarely makes headlines: AI-driven models that simulate outbreaks, optimize vaccine campaigns, and help countries cut off polio and malaria at the source. Think SimCity for public health, with millions of lives at stake—and real wins already logged.We also challenge the myths around work and meaning. As robots absorb dangerous and dull jobs, more free time is coming, and it won't fulfill us by default. Pablos argues for choosing bigger problems over shallow distractions, from clean energy to next-gen manufacturing and sanitation. His simplest, most actionable idea might be the most powerful: pick one kid and mentor them consistently. If we care about education, let's deliver the one-to-one attention schools struggle to provide and help curiosity compound.If you're hungry for technology that matters—decentralization that expands freedom, AI that heals, and engineering that lifts the basics for billions—this conversation is your blueprint.

The market is mispricing the human brain. Some Investors view Brain-Computer Interfaces (BCI) and other neurotech as the next iteration of the medical device, a slightly better stent or a more advanced catheter. This is a category error. As Matt Angle (Paradromics) and Connor Glass (Phantom Neuro) articulate its not a product, its the next modem.The parallel is the internet in 1993. We are moving from a low-bandwidth, text-based era of biology into a streaming, high-fidelity era.

For “deep tech” or industrial tech investors, a captivating idea on paper doesn't always translate into a sustainable or viable business. Even a remarkable technological breakthrough isn't guaranteed to survive the long sales cycles of the industrial world. So which companies are worth the investment? Ian Rountree, founder and partner at the venture firm Cantos, wrote a bare-bones thesis on X that offers guidance on this question. In it, Rountree lays out a stark list of the companies he invests in—and the ones he passes on. In this episode, Shayle and Ian unpack his post and explore how it applies to the current landscape of hardware and industrial startups. They cover topics like: Why selling technology to large incumbents like automakers or utilities can be a death sentence for startups The pitfalls of "commercializing science" Why capital risk to sell an end-product can be better business than licensing technology Why "weird" companies—"N of 1" startups—can generate huge amounts of talent and capital Why selling commodities (like electrons or minerals) can actually be a safer bet than entering a new market Real-world examples of full-stack success in the mining industry, including Earth AI and KoBold Metals Latitude: Earth AI's play in the hunt for critical minerals Catalyst: Calibrating hype with Akshat Rathi Catalyst: Climate tech startups need strong techno-economic analysis Open Circuit: Pain, resilience, and bargain hunting for climate tech investors Credits: Hosted by Shayle Kann.

In this episode of Disruption/Interruption, host KJ sits down with Jurek Kozyra, founder and CEO of Nanovery, to explore how DNA nanotechnology and AI are revolutionizing molecular medicine. Discover how tiny nanorobots made from DNA could dramatically accelerate drug development, make diagnostics faster and more affordable, and potentially cure diseases that were previously untreatable. From detecting diseases in hours instead of days to cutting years off the drug development process, this conversation reveals the cutting-edge science that's transforming healthcare. Four Key Takeaways: The Promise of Oligonucleotide Therapeutics (9:06) Traditional medicine targets defective proteins, but many diseases can't be cured because we can't find the right molecule. Oligonucleotide therapeutics target mRNA—the underlying mechanism of disease—meaning you could potentially cure all diseases since all proteins come from mRNA. DNA Nanorobots for Rapid Detection (14:12) Nanovery's DNA nanorobots can detect diseases in blood samples within 2-4 hours compared to traditional lab tests that take two days. These self-assembling machines produce fluorescent signals when they find specific DNA or RNA molecules, enabling point-of-care diagnostics. Accelerating Drug Development (17:13) Pharmaceutical companies race against 20-year patents while drugs take 10+ years to develop. Nanovery's technology provides more accurate data at lower cost and time, potentially shaving years off the development process and helping more drugs successfully reach the market. Real-World Clinical Validation (20:26) In a hospital study with 170 patient samples, Nanovery's technology delivered same or better results than traditional tests in just two hours instead of two days—a game-changer for emergency situations like drug overdoses where immediate answers are critical. Quote of the Show (9:05):"If you can target mRNA very specifically, that means that in theory you could potentially cure all diseases. That's why this area is so exciting right now." – Jurek Kozyra Join our Anti-PR newsletter where we’re keeping a watchful and clever eye on PR trends, PR fails, and interesting news in tech so you don't have to.
