Let's see what AI adoption really looks like inside the freight industry in this episode with our returning guest, Dhruv Gupta from Drumkit! Dhruv shares the three types of customers in the AI space, why human oversight still drives decision quality, where the best automation opportunities actually live, and why setting realistic expectations matters. He also digs into rolling out AI without blowing up your workflows, why cultural buy-in matters just as much as the tech itself, product limitations, the future of conversational AI, and how AI will free brokers to focus on relationships and real decision-making. At the end of the day, AI isn't about replacing people; it's about removing the tedious stuff so you can operate faster, smarter, and with a whole lot more clarity. Keep tuning in to hear more!   About Dhruv Gupta Dhruv is the CEO of Drumkit, co-founding it in 2022. He has been passionate about logistics for as long as he can remember. After graduating from Harvard with a degree in Computer Science and Government, he founded a Y Combinator backed startup focused on micro-mobility optimization. He then co-founded Megaphone, a non-profit that helped people vote in Milwaukee and Atlanta in the 2020 General Election. He was the first BD hire at Zoba, an early stage startup that optimizes fleet operations.   Connect with Dhruv Website: https://www.drumkit.ai/  Email: hi@drumkit.ai

#EP322 Today on the Clean Power Hour, we dive into one of the biggest bottlenecks strangling the clean energy transition: the slow, messy world of zoning, permitting, and early-stage development. Our guests are Julia Wu and Anuj Saigal, co-founders of Spark AI, a Y Combinator-backed platform that has ingested and summarized nearly every zoning code, ordinance, and permitting pathway in the United States.Julia Wu is CEO and co-founder of Spark AI. She's a software engineer who cut her teeth at Microsoft, Apple (working on Siri), and Brex before founding Spark. Her background spans AI, natural language processing, and financial technology.Anuj Saigal is the co-founder of Spark AI and a veteran of the energy sector since 2010. He worked at the Department of Energy Loan Programs Office during the Obama administration, then moved through SunEdison, EVgo, and Natto (a video AI telematics company). Anuj has been a developer of utility-scale and distributed generation projects and understands the pain points of permitting and interconnection firsthand.Key Discussion Points:Spark AI uses large language models to aggregate zoning regulations, permitting requirements, local sentiment, and news articles for every jurisdiction in AmericaThree core use cases: early-stage greenfield site selection, monitoring projects in development for regulatory changes, and rapid acquisition due diligenceStandard Solar (Brookfield-owned) reduced acquisition diligence from months to one week, cutting time by 75%Dynamic Energy accelerated site screening while improving community sentiment risk assessmentUGE used Spark to assess a massive portfolio acquisition, determining which parcels had viable zoning pathsThe platform is LLM-neutral, easily swapping between OpenAI, Anthropic, DeepSeek, and other models to optimize for accuracy and speedUnlike off-the-shelf AI tools, Spark delivers consistency, accuracy, and citations developers need for trust-but-verify workflowsConnect with Anuj and Julia Julia Wu: https://www.linkedin.com/in/wu-julia/Anuj Saigal: https://www.linkedin.com/in/anujsaigal/Spark AI Website: https://www.sparkhq.ai/ Support the showConnect with Tim Clean Power Hour Clean Power Hour on YouTubeTim on TwitterTim on LinkedIn Email tim@cleanpowerhour.com Review Clean Power Hour on Apple PodcastsThe Clean Power Hour is produced by the Clean Power Consulting Group and created by Tim Montague.

Join us for an incredible live episode recorded in San Francisco, where we sit down with Krish Ramineni, co-founder of Fireflies AI, one of the fastest-growing AI companies transforming how teams work. From humble beginnings at an MIT hackathon to building a platform used by 75% of Fortune 500 companies, Krish shares the raw, unfiltered journey of creating Fireflies AI. We dive deep into the early struggles, seven failed products, running out of savings, getting rejected by Y Combinator twice, and the pivotal moment when they built something people actually wanted to pay for. Krish reveals how they launched their AI meeting assistant just two weeks before COVID hit, the challenges of scaling from zero to billions of conversations, and the controversial decisions that shaped their company culture including no one-on-ones, 100% remote with 120 employees across 50 cities, and why they hate recurring meetings despite building meeting software. We explore the technical evolution from pre-LLM era to integrating GPT-3 before ChatGPT launched, building enterprise-grade security while staying customer-obsessed, and why they chose bottoms-up growth over traditional enterprise sales. Plus, Krish gives us an exclusive sneak peek into Fireflies' upcoming product launch, a real-time AI assistant that will fundamentally change how we experience meetings. Whether you're building an AI startup, scaling a tech company, or just fascinated by the future of work, this episode is packed with tactical insights, contrarian takes, and honest lessons from the frontlines of the AI revolution. ✨ Make sure to like, subscribe and follow along for more founder stories from the world's most innovative companies.

Let us know your thoughts, questions, and who you want to hear from next!In this episode of The Exchange, EW&L Associate Adviser, Charles Troian, sits down with Matthew Browne, Founder and Managing Partner of Black Nova Venture Capital, to explore the evolution of Australia's start-up ecosystem and what it really takes to build - and back - world-class technology companies.From launching his first business at 13 to founding and exiting two successful enterprise software companies (including Y Combinator–backed Whispli), Matthew shares lessons learned from both sides of the venture table. He unpacks what separates resilient founders from the rest, why “boring” B2B software often outperforms hype-driven tech, and how Australia's venture market has matured into one of the most efficient ecosystems in the world.The conversation dives deep into Black Nova's investment philosophy - a by founders, for founders model - and the firm's focus on mission-critical, enterprise-grade software with strong fundamentals and global potential. Matthew also reflects on the future of AI, capital flows, and the importance of reinvesting in Australia's innovation economy.Whether you're an investor, founder, or adviser, this episode offers a rare look inside the mindset of one of Australia's most disciplined venture capitalists, and what it takes to identify the next generation of enduring businesses.Disclaimer: The information in this podcast series is for general financial educational purposes only, should not be considered financial advice and is only intended for wholesale clients.

In this episode of Inside the Network, we sit down with Dean Sysman, co-founder and CEO of Axonius, one of the fastest-growing cybersecurity companies in the world. From struggling with his first startup to building a category-defining unicorn valued at $2.6 billion, Dean's journey is a raw, insightful, and unfiltered look into what it really takes to build in security.Before founding Axonius, Dean co-founded Cymmetria, a Y Combinator-backed deception startup that despite all the efforts, didn't end up leading to a successful outcome. That experience didn't stop him; it made him more grounded, more strategic, and more deliberate. Dean 2.0 didn't enter a hot market. Instead, he went after a boring but foundational problem everyone had, but no one wanted to touch - cyber asset visibility. In just under five years, Axonius surpassed $100M in ARR and raised over $600 million to fund growth and acquisitions.Dean's path has been unconventional from the start. He taught himself to code at 12, won an international robotics competition at 15, and led a team in Unit 8200 by 21. In the military, he learned responsibility the hard way: “If you fail, no one else is coming to help.” That mindset became the core of his entrepreneurial approach. In this conversation, Dean opens up about what most people get wrong about Unit 8200, why the army's bureaucracy actually helped him understand enterprise sales, and how he turned a failed venture into the insight that led to Axonius.We talk about the early days of building Axonius, the decision to go deep into a “Toyota Camry” problem, and how he convinced two close friends from Unit 8200 to bet on a boring idea that became a unicorn. Dean breaks down the evolution of cyber asset management, what it took to define a new category, and why timing and value communication matter more than tech novelty. He also shares lessons from Axonius' first acquisition, Cynerio, and what founders need to understand about getting M&A right: culture, timing, and strategic alignment matter far more than valuation spreadsheets.

Benjamin Netter navigue dans un univers où une simple erreur de clic peut coûter des millions.Un monde où l'humain est souvent la première faille, et où la menace est devenue si sophistiquée que même un Bac + 8 peut tomber dans le piège.Tout ça, il l'a vécu chez October, la plateforme de prêts aux entreprises qu'il avait cofondée.Un simple email de phishing a suffi pour compromettre leurs systèmes.Et là, c'est le déclic : si sa boîte peut se faire piéger, alors des milliers d'entreprises sont en danger.Il teste d'abord sa propre équipe, 15 % se font prendre, même la CFO.Benjamin comprend que la cybersécurité ne peut plus être un sujet réservé aux experts.Elle doit devenir un réflexe collectif.Il quitte tout, lance RIOT, et décide de protéger le maillon le plus vulnérable, l'employé.Aujourd'hui, RIOT accompagne 1 500 entreprises, protège 1,5 million d'employés, et double son revenu chaque année.L'objectif, atteindre 20 millions d'ARR d'ici la fin de l'année.RIOT envoie des fausses attaques pour tester les équipes, analyse les comportements et déploie un compagnon cyber intelligent qui sensibilise chaque employé de manière personnalisée.Une pédagogie moderne, directe, qui ressemble davantage à un coach individuel qu'à un audit poussiéreux sur PowerPoint.Après 2 millions levés auprès de Y Combinator, puis 45 millions au total auprès d'autres fonds, Benjamin garde la même philosophie : construire une boîte faite pour durer, pas pour impressionner.Dans cet épisode, découvrez les coulisses d'un marché qui explose, pourquoi les LLM ont rendu les cybercriminels encore plus dangereux, et comment RIOT se prépare à devenir une référence mondiale.Bonne écoute !===========================

Welcome to The SaaS CFO Podcast! In today's episode, host Ben Murray sits down with Aleks Đekić, CEO and co-founder of Alguna, a startup that's reimagining revenue management for modern SaaS and fintech businesses. With a background deeply rooted in product, engineering, and commercial roles across leading fintech and accounting startups, Aleks Đekić dives into the pain points that inspired Alguna's creation and why flexible, end-to-end revenue automation is becoming essential for scaling tech companies. Together, they explore Alguna's journey from early frustrations with billing and quoting tools, through their acceptance into Y Combinator, to fundraising and building a team distributed across the US and Europe. Aleks Đekić shares insights on when SaaS companies should upgrade their revenue management stack, how Alguna's hybrid pricing and billing platform addresses the needs of subscription and usage-based businesses, and why net revenue retention is his north star metric.

Episode 403 of The VentureFizz Podcast features Nick Ornitz and Shannon Kay, Co-Founders of Topline Pro. Make something people want is the motto behind Y Combinator. It sounds simple, yet so many founders miss this fundamental requirement. Topline Pro is a perfect case study in getting it right. They didn't fall victim to early false positives; instead, they listened, experimented, and successfully pivoted to solve a true, massive problem for an underserved market. Topline Pro is building AI that empowers local home service pros to grow and scale their businesses. They provide a critical platform to help with the marketing, sales, and operations of running a business in the trades, allowing these business owners to focus on their craft. The company recently announced a $27M Series B funding round led by Northzone, with new participation from Tactile Ventures, and Industry Ventures, alongside continued support from existing investors Forerunner Ventures, Bonfire Ventures, TMV, Flybridge, and BBG Ventures. In this interview, we dive into: * The inspirational backstory of Nick and Shannon and how they decided to build a company together after meeting at HBS. * Their initial concept called Dwelling, the "false positive" they experienced, and the strategic pivot. * Their time at Y Combinator and how early access to GPT opened their eyes to the potential of AI. * The value that Topline Pro is providing customers and the exciting opportunities ahead following their Series B. * Growth plans, hiring goals, and the culture they're building at Topline Pro. * Advice for non-AI native companies that are starting to build out their own AI strategy. * And so much more! Episode Sponsor: As a longtime champion of the local startup ecosystem, Silicon Valley Bank supports innovative companies with the solutions and financing they need through every stage of growth.

Live from Future Proof, I sat down beachside with Eden Ovadia, Co-Founder and CEO of FINNY—the AI-powered marketing platform helping advisors solve one of the biggest challenges in wealth management: organic growth.For years, the industry has relied on market returns and acquisitions to drive scale. But when the market slows, most firms discover they don't actually have a growth engine—they have a valuation problem.Eden saw that gap and built FINNY to fix it. In less than a year, she launched the company, joined Y Combinator, raised $6.5 million, and created a 15-person team that's helping advisors identify ideal prospects, automate personalized outreach, and attract new clients at scale.Eden also shares how her decision to live in her office became a powerful expression of belief in what she's building. That unwavering faith in the mission inspired her team to buy in completely—creating a culture grounded in trust, shared conviction, and the certainty that they're building something extraordinary together.3 of the biggest insights from Eden Ovadia…1.) The Industry's Organic Growth Problem Is Getting Too Big to IgnoreAdvisors have been riding market returns and acquisitions for years—but when the market dips, most firms realize their “growth” isn't really growth. Eden breaks down why the industry's obsession with M&A has masked a massive organic growth crisis—and how advisors who solve it are commanding double the valuations of their peers.2.) AI Is Revolutionizing Prospecting for AdvisorsEden's company, FINNY, gives advisors access to over 300 million data profiles and turns that data into personalized marketing automation—helping them find and convert ideal clients faster than ever before. From identifying business owners researching “exit planning” to filling dinner seminars with precision, FINNY shows what's possible when prospecting meets AI.3.) Great Leaders Build Belief Before They Build TeamsEden scaled FINNY from 0 to 15 employees in a year—but her real advantage wasn't speed, it was conviction. From living in her office to creating a culture that feels like family, she proves that people don't just join startups—they join founders who believe deeply in their vision. Her playbook for culture, hiring, and customer obsession applies to any advisor building a business that lasts.SHOW NOTEShttps://bradleyjohnson.com/141FREE GIFT + JOIN THE DBDL INSIDER CREWToday's Gift: 30 minute 1:1 coaching call with BradAre you a financial advisor who feels stuck, needs help, or simply wants to have a conversation with Brad?
