First episode of 2025! For our very first episode of the year, we invited Justine and Olivia Moore, who are Partners at Andreessen Horowitz VC firm, focused on investing in all things AI. We covered a wide range of topics from the current funding landscape in AI startups, defensibility, their favorite AI startups as well as what 2025 is going to look like for the AI landscape. Enjoy!
It’s the end of 2024 and we put together the best content of this year in one final year-end episode.
Aidan Gomez is the CEO and co-founder of Cohere. Aidan was an intern at Google Brain in 2017, when he helped co-author the now-famous “Attention Is All You Need” paper that conceptualized the transformer and eventually kicked off the Generative AI boom. He then left Google in 2021 to start Cohere, an AI startup valued at over $5b, that specializes in building LLMs for enterprise customers. In this conversation, we cover it all - from Aidan's childhood in Canada, his foray into computers and the internet, landing an internship at Google by accident, starting Cohere and what sets Cohere apart from other LLM businesses.
We chatted with Mark Pincus - in his own words, he is the "most unmanageable founder in tech". He was the CEO of the mobile gaming platform, Zynga, and is an outspoken critic of the current state of media and journalism. In this episode, we covered it all - from his take on the US elections, the state of media, the story of Zynga, then the comeback story, him meeting Zuckerberg and investing in Facebook and about the product culture of Zynga. This was great fun for us and I hope you enjoy it too!
