The Strategy to Eliminate Bias in Job Interviews | Greenhouse CEO Daniel Chait

Oct 7, 2026 · 1:08:26

Daniel Chait, co-founder and CEO of Greenhouse, argues AI has created a hiring market where neither side is happy, as auto-applied applications flood pipelines and AI filters tighten in a 'doom loop.' He says 1 to 1.5% of applicants hard-fail ID checks, recounts North Korean operatives infiltrating companies, and describes Greenhouse's 'Swiss cheese' security layers. Greenhouse's My Dream Job feature converts applicants to hires at five times the usual rate, and an AI-led first interview can eliminate the 50 percentage point racial bias gap from 2003 resume studies while saving six days per hire. He contends durable skills beat technical ones, Greenhouse must become Netflix rather than Blockbuster under its new mission to make hiring work for everyone, and companies will hire AI agents.

Superhuman CEO: The Strategy to Turn Standalone Apps Into a $13 Billion Suite

Aug 20, 2026 · 1:07:27

Shishir Mehrotra, CEO of Superhuman—now bundling Superhuman Mail, Grammarly, Coda (as Superhuman Docs), and Superhuman Go—explains how he built a $13 billion suite by overturning conventional wisdom on bundling. He describes meeting Rahul Vora at a Hawaii conference, rebranding 16-year-old Grammarly under the Superhuman name, and lessons from Reid Hoffman about people-first, long-term building. On the 'SaaS apocalypse,' he argues AI agents are new teammates that increase the need for coordination tools like CRMs, while pricing shifts from per-seat to usage because virtual employees don't fill out W-2s. He details his inbox-zero system using Superhuman Mail's 'splits,' and advises founders to build boards as 'weird teams' with soft connection and non-jeopardy feedback.

Saul Klein: Europe Is Quietly Building the New Silicon Valley

Aug 19, 2026 · 57:23

Saul Klein, Phoenix Court co-founder, argues that Europe—London especially—is quietly becoming the world's next Silicon Valley, calling the UK the third-biggest innovation economy after the US and China. He recounts building LoveFilm from Netflix-like DVD rental into a £100M+ revenue business via partnerships with Tesco, ITV, and Odeon, and joining Skype as it grew 400,000 users a day through network effects. Klein says founders should not blindly go to the US, capital is a commodity, and most of the world's 20,000 VCs add little beyond money; only 28 have backed 11+ companies to $100M revenue at seed. He details Phoenix Court's structure: a company, carry for every employee, and a foundation as 30% shareholder; he names London, Paris, Berlin, Stockholm, and Amsterdam as leading hubs.

a16z Partner: Hollywood Is Secretly Replacing Films With AI

Jul 23, 2026 · 50:27

Justine Moore, a16z partner and early backer of ElevenLabs, explains why AI microdramas — short, vertical soap operas — are becoming the fastest-growing entertainment format, with China's microdrama market now larger than its domestic box office. She argues model quality has reached 90-95% of filming, making it cheaper and faster, and professional storytellers are now using it to create compelling narratives. Amazon and Netflix have announced programs for fully AI-generated animations. ElevenLabs, which she backed at Series A, has crossed $500M in ARR. She highlights consumer agents like Town that automate tasks such as warm intros and expense forwarding, and sees the biggest opportunity in serving less technically sophisticated users and vertical industries like marketing and architecture.
