Everyone’s talking about the AI bubble, some say it’s hype, others say it’s just getting started, and most are saying it’s about to burst. So I flew to the centre of it all… Silicon Valley.
For 5 days, I embedded with the founders building the next wave of AI startups, and the VCs backing them.
From garages filled with humanoid robots, to YC-backed teams turning customer support into autonomous agents, to controversial AI toy startups making headlines… this is the AI boom shown from a perspective we rarely get to see.
In this episode, you’ll meet:
– Founders Inc – https://f.inc/
– Hustle Fund – https://www.hustlefund.vc/
– 14 ai – https://14.ai/
– Bondu – https://bondu.com/
– Pallet – https://www.pallet.com/
This isn’t a bubble recap. It’s me, going behind the scenes with the companies that could be building the billion dollar companies of tomorrow.
