Description

It’s SF Tech Week, and there’s lots of AI news - surprise! We talk about why OpenAI’s less polished DevDay meets the moment, reflect on the Sora 2 launch, and give Anthropic props for a well executed coffee shop pop-up. Inspired by Anthropic, we go deep on challenger brands and why the #2 spot is more enviable than you might think. Startups, it’s time to embrace your David era.


Mercury is back as the headline sponsor for season three! Mercury is a financial technology company, not a bank. Banking services provided through Choice Financial Group, Column N.A., and Evolve Bank & Trust; Members FDIC.
