Viitorul nostru va fi rescris de tinerii antreprenori care, astăzi, creează aplicațiile de mâine. Au la îndemână idei și tehnologii care transformă aceste idei într-o afacere bazată pe coduri.   Am invitat astăzi la « Noi venim din viitor » un tânăr de acest fel. L-am cunoscut în acceleratorul de startup-uri Innovation Labs de la Politehnica din București, unde sunt mentor și activez în jurii. Aici e locul în care afacerile viitorului cresc la firul ierbii. Cristian Carp nu a reușit din prima. Nimeni nu reușește din prima. Reușesc doar cei care nu renunță după ce nu reușesc prima dată. Și nici a doua și nici a treia. Ai nevoie de o doză mare de determinare și disciplină ca să avansezi pe drumul antreprenoriatului. Cristian Carp face parte din această categorie de tineri încăpățânați care nu renunță. Are 32 de ani și a fondat afacerea lui, botezată Wild Media, acum vreo 13 ani. În iunie 2024 a lansat aplicația Shorts AI, cu care a plecat în Statele Unite. Viața lui se derulează între San Francisco și Los Angeles, când nu e prin diverse evenimente de tech în Dubai, România sau pe alte coordonate. Ce face Shorts AI? Îi dai acces la arhiva ta de fotografii și de filme personale, scrii un prompt despre un film cu tine în rolul principal și aplicația ți-l generează imediat în formate destinate pentru platformele de new media, unde le și publică automat. Practic faci un film cât ai bate din palme, care se difuzează în mod automat. Recent a ajuns pe locul doi la hackathonul organizat de faimoasa organizație americană Y Combinator. Cristian are în ADN-ul lui acel ceva care l-a transformat într-un antreprenor de primă mână. Mai multe despre el și proiectele lui găsiți pe pagina: wildmedia.ro

Episode #236 features Matteo Franceschetti, Co-Founder & CEO of Eight Sleep — the category-defining sleep fitness company trusted by Elon Musk, Lewis Hamilton, NFL quarterbacks and Olympic champions, and backed by Khosla Ventures, Founders Fund and Y Combinator.Note: This is a replay of Episode 159, originally released in March 2024 — one of our most loved classics.In conversation with Vidit Agarwal, Matteo shares his journey from a small town near Venice to building a global category-defining sleep company. He reflects on learning English in his mid-20s, starting his career as a lawyer, losing his father early, and walking away from a “safe” path to bet on entrepreneurship.Matteo unpacks Eight Sleep's real origin story — early prototypes, repeated YC rejections, the insight that temperature control beat sleep tracking, and the hard realities of building a durable hardware business. He also shares his philosophy on performance, health, leadership and why success comes down to one idea: chop wood, carry water.‍It's time to explore your curiosity — please enjoy.________To support this podcast, check out our some of our sponsors & get discounts:→ $1,000 off Vanta: Your compliance superpower — vanta.com/highIf you're keen to discuss sponsorship and partnering with us or recommend future guests, email us at contact@curiositycentre.com today!Join our stable of commercial partners including the Australian Government, Google, KPMG, University of Melbourne and more.________CLICK HERE to read show notes from this conversation.

Abdul Al Assad, founder of Basic Capital, joins the show to discuss why people deserve more leverage in their retirement portfolios. A smart man once said that "men go broke over ladies, liquor, and leverage." Abdul articulates a different version of leverage; specifically medium duration (10 year) non callable, non recourse leverage. In the episode Abdul acknowledges the potential for large market to market drawdowns. That said, he challenges the listeners to think through the long-term implications of what he is saying.We hope you enjoy the discussion.

#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.

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.

This isn't your typical "we raised $50M and exited" story. This is what happens when you have no choice but to figure it out yourselves. When the tripod refuses to fall. When you run out of everything except ideas. This is the story of Heroic Labs.About Heroic Labs: Core infrastructure for game studios. If you've played games from Zynga, Gram Games, or dozens of other studios, you've used their tech without knowing it. That's by design.
