About this podcast
Founders are trying to figure out how to build their companies (and cultures) around AI. But the specifics — like how much (if at all) to invest in research, how to build the right team, and how to evaluate whether their systems work as intended—are still up in the air. Join Barrchives as we speak with the founder-CEOs who are pushing the boundaries of AI, and share their decisions and their stories. Hosted by Barr Yaron, Partner at Amplify Partners.
