What Makes a Successful AI Company? - A Venture Capitalist's Perspective
The AI in Business Podcast - Podcast tekijän mukaan Daniel Faggella
If one wants to start a general search engine, they're going to have to compete with Google. If one wants to start a general eCommerce platform, they'll have to compete with Amazon.

This week's guest is Mike Edelhart, who runs Social Starts and Joyance Partners, seed stage investment firms out in the Bay Area.
