In this episode of Explainable AI, hosts Paul Anthony Claxton and Rohan Hall sit down with entrepreneur, investor and former AI researcher Rafe Furst for a deep exploration of how artificial intelligence is transforming the world of venture capital.

Rafe shares insights from his early days in AI research, his Silicon Valley startup successes and his experience as a professional poker player. Together they unpack why the traditional VC model is faltering, how AI can reduce risk and improve decision making, and why the next wave of investing will look more like Moneyball than the old Silicon Valley playbook.
