About the Episode

When frontier labs can build everything, when moving fast doesn’t mean what it used to, and when what was impossible can now be done in days, what do you build and how do you build it?

Krishna M is an AI Partner at Elevation Capital. He has seen the 0-to-1 journey twice as a founder and has also experienced what large-scale building looks like at tech giants like Meta and Cohesity.

In this episode, we discuss why a founder’s fearlessness and ambition will define the destiny of the company far more than technical skills. Krishna shares how Indian founders have come a long way and now build like they know no fear. We then explore how OpenAI and Anthropic have changed what it takes to build startups, and what founder traits are needed to create outlier companies in this era.

Watch this episode to understand the new definition of startup speed and what to build when frontier labs can build entire product categories themselves.
