Qasar Younis is the co-founder and CEO of Applied Intuition, a $15 billion AI company that adds intelligence to cars, tractors, planes, submarines, and other vehicles—essentially, Tesla or Waymo without the hardware. He was previously COO of Y Combinator, started his career as an engineer at GM and Bosch, and was born on a farm in Pakistan.We discuss:1. Why the biggest AI revolution will play out in mining, farming, construction, and trucking over the next 5 to 10 years, not in software2. Why Qasar intentionally stayed under the radar for nearly a decade while building Applied Intuition, and why most founders shouldn't do that3. The truth about China's AI capabilities and why comparisons to American companies are fundamentally flawed4. The company values that drive Applied Intuition: speed above everything, laugh a lot, half the work is follow-up, never disappoint the customer5. The biggest lessons from Qasar's stint as YC's COO, including that the most successful companies show traction very early6.

Podero builds software that enables European utilities to trade device flexibility—EVs, heat pumps, and batteries—on energy markets, generating trading revenues while reducing consumer bills by 20-30%. The company navigates a uniquely complex B2B motion: they must sell utilities, secure API access from device OEMs, and ensure utilities successfully roll out consumer-facing products—all simultaneously. In this episode of BUILDERS, Chris Bernkopf, Co-Founder and CEO of Podero, breaks down how they escaped pilot purgatory with innovation departments, built a "10x better than doing nothing" business case that reaches commercial stakeholders, and why their 2026 strategy centers on radical simplification through deletion.Topics DiscussedOrigin story: from Raspberry Pi heat pump experiment to YC-backed utility infrastructure softwareThe "three miracle problem" go-to-market challenge and how they de-risked all three dimensions in parallelSales cycle mechanics: 6-12 month closes, avoiding innovation department traps, and multi-stakeholder orchestrationMarket structure: 2,000 addressable utilities in Europe, 120 customers required for unicorn trajectoryChannel strategy evolution: cold outreach to re-engagement focus in a contained prospect universe2026 GTM thesis: simplifying value propositions by deleting products and messagingHow YC learnings posted on bathroom doors maintain organizational disciplineThe grid capacity fork in the road: expensive scarcity vs. cheap abundant renewable energy

Can we give an AI human emotions? A soul? Can AI truly feel, or will it just act like it does?In this episode of TechFirst, I talk with Vishnu Hari, founder and CEO of Ego AI (backed by Y Combinator and former AI product manager at Meta), about building emotionally intelligent AI characters that persist across games, Discord, chat, and even physical robots.Vishnu survived a violent attack in San Francisco that left him partially blind with a traumatic brain injury. During recovery, as he felt his own neural pathways healing, he began asking a deeper question:If humans are “applied math,” can AI simulate the fragile, flawed, emotional parts of being human too?We explore:• What “emotionally intelligent AI” really means• Whether AI has an internal life — or just performs one• Why today's chatbots collapse into therapy or roleplay• Small language models vs large models for real-time conversation• Persistent AI characters that move across games and platforms• Plugging AI into a physical robot in Singapore• The moment an AI said: “It felt good to feel.”Vishnu's company, Ego AI, is building behavior-based architectures, character context protocols, and gear-shifting AI systems that switch between models — all aimed at simulating humanness, not just intelligence.This conversation dives into philosophy, robotics, gaming, AGI, and what it really means to relate to something that might not be human — but feels like it is.⸻

In this episode of The Live Music Industry Podcast, Matt Ford sits down with Alec Ellin, Co-Founder & CEO of Laylo, for a candid conversation about fan capture, “drops,” and the marketing flywheel powering modern ticket, merch, and content launches. From Laylo's early pivots through Y Combinator to its breakout product-market fit during the pandemic, they unpack how artists, venues, and festivals are turning social hype into first-party audiences and what that enables next. In this episode, they cover:Laylo 101 — a music-first CRM + messaging platform built to capture fans and drive them to tickets, merch, and contentThe origin story — from Dark Chart & Silo to YC, a painful pivot, and finding the winning “drops” model in 2021What a “drop” really does — productizing FOMO to convert attention into signups before the on-sale momentScale by the numbers — 60M+ fans reached, 200K drops in a year, and tens of thousands of platform usersMulti-channel messaging — SMS, email, Instagram, and WhatsApp, plus high-performing IG DM capture flowsWhy venues and festivals are adopting Laylo — high-conversion drop pages, list growth without requiring a ticket purchase, and demand-driving campaignsFirst-party data, done right — why Laylo won't share PII, and how “collabs” let artists + promoters build lists compliantlySmarter segmentation — targeting likely ticket and merch buyers to improve cost, deliverability, and fan experienceAI inside the product — multi-drop builders, “magic templates,” and the roadmap to put CRM workflows on autopilot⭐️ Get 50,000 free message credits through Laylo right now when you use code LAYLO26: https://laylo.com/refer?ref=prism&utm_source=prismEpisode Timestamps:0:00 — What Laylo Is & Who It's For A CRM and messaging platform built around “drops” — announce something, collect fans, then message them when it goes live. Supports SMS, email, Instagram, and WhatsApp, with a free tier available.7:24 — How Alec & Saj Ended Up Building Laylo Alec came from music blogging and Epic Records, while Saj built a competing analytics app. They met, merged ideas, sold a fan analytics tool to The Orchard, went through Y Combinator, then pivoted when growth stalled.24:01 — The Birth of “Drops” COVID shut down touring. A simple “text me when this drops” experiment on Saj's own music clicked instantly. Artists were already teasing releases — Laylo made capturing and re-engaging those fans automatic. Early wins with ODESZA and Dillon Francis validated the idea.40:03 — Adding Venues & Festivals Same product, new use case — venues collect signups before onsales and message fans when tickets go live. Laylo built “Collabs” for shared pages with explicit opt-in for both lists. The Midway sees ~55–60% conversion on ad traffic vs ~10% on typical pages.52:09 — Team, Fundraising & AI Inside Laylo 24-person distributed team. ~$8.5M raised, with the last round over three years ago. AI features include Multi-Drop Builder (paste tour dates, auto-build pages), Magic Templates (auto-design emails), and Suggested Segments (surface likely buyers).1:05:14 — AI, Coding & Why Live Still Wins AI accelerates development but doesn't replace great engineers. Alec expects AI to flood music with generic tracks — increasing demand for real live experiences.

What happens when a 26-year-old machine shop kid decides the real bottleneck in American manufacturing isn't machining—it's metal supply? In this episode, we sit down with Zane Hengsperger, founder and CEO of Knox Metals, to talk about building a modern service center powered by AI, automation, and software. Zane's mission is bold: supply every factory in America in under 24 hours at a fair, transparent price. Raised in his father's injection molding shop, Zane grew up on shop floors before pivoting into software, startups, and eventually reindustrialization. After publicly sharing his ideas online, Y Combinator reached out—and within 24 hours, he had funding and a flight to San Francisco. We explore what it takes to modernize the metals supply chain, the friction of accessing domestic mills, the realities of startup logistics, and why focusing exclusively on aluminum plate might be Knox's smartest strategic move yet. This is a conversation about speed, ownership, risk, and the future of American manufacturing—not just at the machine level, but across the entire supply chain.

Gary Tan is the President and CEO of Y Combinator.YC is the startup accelerator behind companies like Airbnb, Stripe, Coinbase, Reddit, Twitch, and thousands more. According to Garry, they've invested in 20% of all startups worth $5B or more started since 2012.Gary has lived every side of the YC ecosystem. He went through YC as a founder, later became a partner, started Initialized Capital where he backed companies like Coinbase and Instacart, and then returned to lead YC.We walk through the different “eras” of YC, from the early Paul Graham and Jessica Livingston days in Cambridge, to scaling in San Francisco, to today's push back toward in person community and what Gary calls “founder mode” for the organization itself.We also talk about why the Bay Area still matters so much for startups, what's happening with California taxes and policy, and why Gary has gotten more involved in local politics to keep it the best place for founders to build companies.Then we go deep on the parts of startups people don't talk about enough. Co-founder conflict, rage quitting, therapy and coaching, and why companies inevitably take on the personality and emotional patterns of their founders.We also cover what YC looks for in applications, how the 13 week batch is structured, how Demo Day really works, how to choose the right investors, and what Gary thinks the next phase of YC looks like, including helping founders even after Series A.At the end, Gary shares his personal AI workflow, including meta prompting, comparing outputs across models, and the tools he uses every day to think and build faster.Try Numeral, the end-to-end platform for sales tax and compliance: https://www.numeral.com⁠Sign-up for Flex Elite with code TURNER, get $1,000: https://form.typeform.com/to/Rx9rTjFzTimestamps:(0:05) Moving from Winnipeg to California as a kid(1:35) How YC interviews work(2:55) The first batch in 2005(6:46) Why YC moved from Boston to SF(8:17) California's Billionaire Tax(11:00) Tech should care about public policies(17:01) Going direct to your audience(20:28) The 2nd Era of YC(24:01) Rage quitting Palantir, learning to understand himself(32:41) Co-founder conflict kills most startups(35:15) Joining YC as a group partner(37:22) Initialized Fund 1 (55x DPI)(39:44) Why Garry went back to lead YC(42:44) YC funds 20% of all $5B+ companies(44:30) Lessons from Brian Chesky(48:01) Garry's thoughts on YC rejection(51:41) How to get into YC(58:03) What it's like inside a 13-week YC batch(1:02:23) 20% of YC is hard tech(1:05:55) YC's 3rd era: founder mode, re-batching(1:07:56) Escaping the matrix(1:11:26) Garry's personal AI stack(1:20:25) Tech optimismReferencedY Combinator: https://www.ycombinator.com/Initialized Capital: https://initialized.com/Torch: https://torch.io/Perplexity: https://www.perplexity.ai/Anthropic: https://www.anthropic.com/OpenAI: https://openai.com/Airbnb: https://www.airbnb.com/Kyle Vogt on his new startup: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XQoFbvyWEy8Follow Aaron Levie on X: https://x.com/levieFollow GaryTwitter: https://x.com/garytanLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/garytan/Follow TurnerTwitter: https://twitter.com/TurnerNovakLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/turnernovakSubscribe to my newsletter to get every episode + the transcript in your inbox every week: https://www.thespl.it/

Today, he backs AI infrastructure, enterprise AI agents, cybersecurity, developer tools, and robotics, with a strong cross-border thesis that helps founders expand globally and access strategic distribution partners in Asia.We discuss:How to evaluate “real” AI founders vs hypeAI moats: why product-market fit isn't enough anymoreWhat actually creates defensibility in enterprise AI (data, trust, workflows, integrations)Build vs buy in AI: when enterprises DIY vs purchase softwareWhy vertical AI agents are safer than horizontal AI wrappersCross-border expansion strategy: U.S. → Asia vs Asia → U.S.Robotics + physical AI opportunities and Asia's hardware advantageWhy enterprise + government budgets are still under-targetedFollow the PodcastInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/venturecapitalfm/Twitter: https://twitter.com/vcpodcastfmLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/venturecapitalfm/Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/7BQimY8NJ6cr617lqtRr7N?si=ftylo2qHQiCgmT9dfloD_g&nd=1&dlsi=7b868f1b72094351Apple: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/venture-capital/id1575351789Website: https://www.venturecapital.fm/Follow Jon BradshawLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/mrbradshaw/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/mrjonbradshaw/Twitter: https://twitter.com/mrjonbradshawFollow Peter HarrisLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/peterharris1Twitter: https://twitter.com/thevcstudentInstagram: https://instagram.com/shodanpeteYoutube: https://www.youtube.com/@peterharris2812

Miranda Nover is the Co-founder and CEO of Fort Health. Fort builds wearables that automatically track strength training for people who care about longevity.This is a new format I'm experimenting with. It's the first time I've had a Banana portfolio company founder on the show while they're still at the pre-seed stage. When I surveyed my subscribers a few weeks ago, you were most interested in more early stage VC-backed founders, and I'd love your feedback on what you think of this.Miranda is still very much working through the idea maze and iterating on the Fort product. We talk about the megatrends driving consumer health, why she's building a company that helps people get stronger, and everything she's learned getting a hardware company off the ground.She's also in the middle of the current YC batch, and gives an inside look at what it's been like and if she'd recommend it to other founders.Thank you to Numeral and Flex for supporting this episode.Try Numeral, the end-to-end platform for sales tax and compliance: https://www.numeral.comSign-up for Flex Elite with code TURNER, get $1,000: https://form.typeform.com/to/Rx9rTjFzTimestamps:(3:37) Importance of strength training(6:34) Benefits of being strong(10:37) Evolution of Fort's hardware(15:58) Automating workout tracking(19:29) Two types of strength trainers(25:30) Building the strength company(27:26) How healthcare is consumerizing(40:43) Lessons building batteries at Tesla(44:56) Hardest parts about building a hardware startup(51:01) Adventures in vibe coding(57:54) How to use Twitter as a founder(1:02:09) The launch video industrial complex(1:08:03) What it's like doing YC(1:10:19) Selling crayons in 3rd grade, Lemonade stands(1:14:41) Miranda's best vintage finds(1:16:44) How Turner evolved as a VC(1:22:22) Turner's early social media PMF(1:28:53) Inventing shitpostingReferencedTry Fort: https://www.fort.cx/Follow MirandaTwitter: https://x.com/mirandanoverLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/mirandanoverFollow TurnerTwitter: https://twitter.com/TurnerNovakLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/turnernovakSubscribe to my newsletter to get every episode + the transcript in your inbox every week: https://www.thespl.it/

Gabe Ravacci, CTO and co-founder at Internet Backyard, breaks down what the “computer economy” really looks like when you zoom in on data centers, billing, invoicing, and the financial plumbing nobody wants to touch. He shares how a rejected YC application, a finance stint, and a handful of hard lessons pushed him from hardware curiosity to building fintech infrastructure for compute.If you care about where compute is headed, or you are early in your career and trying to find your path without overplanning it, this one will land.Key Takeaways• Startups often happen “by accident” when your competence meets the right problem at the right time• Compute accessibility is not only a chip problem, it is also a finance and operations problem• Rejection can be data, not a verdict, treat it as feedback to sharpen the craft• A real online presence is less about networking and more about being genuinely useful in public• Time blocking and single task focus beats grinding when you are juggling school, work, and a startupTimestamped Highlights00:28 What Internet Backyard is building, fintech infrastructure for data center financial operations01:37 The first startup attempt, cheaper compute via FPGA based prototyping, and why investors passed04:48 The pivot, from hardware tools to a finance informed view of compute and transparency gaps06:55 How Gabe reframed YC rejection, process over outcome, “a tree of failures” that builds skill08:29 Building a digital brand on X, what he posted, how he learned in public, and why it worked13:36 The real balancing act, dropping classes, finishing the degree well, and strict time blocking20:00 Books that shaped his thinking, Siddhartha, The Art of Learning, Finite and Infinite GamesA line worth keeping“The process is really more important than any outcome.”Pro Tips for builders• Treat learning like a skill, ask better questions before you chase better answers• Make focus a system, set blocks, mute distractions, and do one thing at a time• Share what you are learning in public, not to perform, but to be useful and find signalCall to ActionIf this episode sparked an idea, follow or subscribe so you do not miss the next one.
