Friends, we’ve launched not one but two podcasts for Founders, Funders & Friends (our community!) AND FAM (our monthly artist salon). We’ve been recording these monthly talks over the last few years & they’re available now for you to listen to.

Past FFF guests have included seasoned entrepreneurs and tech leaders (like Vinay Hiremath from Loom, Ankur Nagpal of Teachable/Carry, and more) and the FAM podcast has featured some incredible artists (Stephan Jenkins from Third Eye Blind, Barry Can’t Swim, Kae Burke from House of Yes).

If you have any incredible builder or artists we should feature, feel free to respond to our newsletter with suggestions.

New episodes drop monthly; follow & subscribe to each of them below!

🗽 Recap of our November Founders Funders & Friends Event

A huge thank you to everyone who joined us for our November Founders, Funders & Friends! 🙏

We had an extraordinary evening featuring Zach Yadegari, the remarkable 17-year-old CEO of Cal AI, in conversation with Alap Shah, Managing Partner at Studio Management.

Zach shared his inspiring journey from learning to code at age 7 to his current role leading Cal AI, a revolutionary AI-powered calorie-tracking app that has achieved $13M in ARR within just six months of launch. He also discussed his previous success in building and selling a gaming platform for a six-figure exit at age 16. Alap brought valuable insights from his experience as both a successful founder and investor, making the discussion particularly dynamic and enlightening.

🙌 Thank you to Cubico for graciously hosting us and providing the perfect space to bring our community together!
