Topic 1 - Welcome to the show. Tell us about your background…

Topic 2 - As someone who built and ran a large organization and continued to invest in other startups, what’s your take on startups and funding in today’s AI frenzy world? In your Wrike days did you ever foresee a time when funding rounds would be bigger than most valuations from years ago? Is this a sustainable investment model?

Topic 3 - One of the leading use cases that came from GenAI and LLM’s is coding co-pilots. It might be the biggest and most profitable use case. What are your thoughts on Coding Co-pilots as whole and the state of the industry?

Topic 4 - What makes a good coding co-pilot? Are their advantages to models trained specifically on coding How does that compare to the frontier LLM’s and their size and abilities?

Topic 5 - We see lots of talk of coding co-pilots potentially hurting the industry. Lots of click bait headlines that coding is going away with agentic AI or Comp Sci degrees and junior employees might not be needed anymore. What are your thoughts on this?

Topic 6 - Some argue that by having a co-pilot do the easy work, some developers might get lazy and the underlying fundamentals of development techniques might disappear. Others say this will elevate developers to new levels of productivity. What’s your view?

Topic 7 - If anyone out there is interested, where can they go for more info or to contact you?
