In this episode of The Tech Founders Podcast I am joined by Zach Rattner, the CTO of Yembo.

Zach brings an interesting perspective to the show as he got an early start in AI, starting his company back in 2016.

Since then, Yembo has grown to over 70 employees all over the world, they operate in 20 countries and process tens of thousands of videos per day for their customers.

In this episode we will dive into:

- A framework for thinking about if your startup idea makes sense for you.
- What you need to learn to become proficient in AI.
- How to effectively communicate with your customers.

I hope you enjoy the episode!
