À propos de cet audio

 Building a company from scratch is soul-sucking and mind-numbingly hard - but it’s the best thing ever. We know this because we’ve built a couple ourselves - and we’re building a lot more right now. We’ve made a lot of money for our employees, our shareholders, ourselves - we’re proud of that - and that’s why we want to talk about how it’s done. Join us - Tom Chavez and Vivek Vaidya - in The Closed Session, where we reveal all the joys and sorrows of company building. From the guttermost to the uttermost, we’re not going to hold back.© 2019-2022 Économie

    Building a Billion-Dollar AI Startup
    Dec 15 2025

    Most AI 'innovation' is just workflow automation disguised as intelligence. Benjamin Shapiro, founder of I Hear Everything and creator of AI-powered podcast production systems, talks with Tom Chavez about the brutal realities of building defensible AI companies versus riding the hype cycle.

    Tom and Ben dissect why proprietary data virtuosity trumps LLM wrappers, how outcome-oriented AI solutions kill traditional left-to-right workflows, and why founders must quintuple their execution speed or face extinction in the compressed imagination-to-execution timeline.

    How to build a global AI infrastructure company
    Dec 1 2025

    Most enterprises burn millions on idle GPUs while developers wait weeks for access. Haseeb Budhani, CEO of Rafay Systems, built a global GPU orchestration platform after exits at Soha Systems (acquired by Akamai) and brings deep infrastructure expertise to solving the $100B GPU waste crisis. He reveals why 93% of Fortune 500 companies achieve sub-85% GPU utilization, how sovereign AI requirements are driving hundreds of "Neo clouds" globally, and the specific multi-tenancy frameworks that transform expensive compute from sunk cost into competitive advantage.

  • How operator scars build defensible AI startups

    How operator scars build defensible AI startups
    Nov 17 2025

    Most operators fail as investors because they can't scale their expertise beyond one-on-one advice calls. Leyla D. Seka, former Salesforce EVP who built the multi-billion dollar AppExchange ecosystem, explains how Operator Collective structures 200+ operators as LPs with carry to systematically deploy operational knowledge across portfolio companies. She reveals why she never invests in founders who think they're going public, how 30-minute operator calls save companies three months of execution time, and why the current AI gold rush mirrors the early cloud adoption cycle at Salesforce.
