  • Is Your AI Actually Worth What You're Spending? with Parker Conrad

    Is Your AI Actually Worth What You're Spending? with Parker Conrad
    2026/06/30
    In this episode, Connie Loizos sits down with Rippling founder and CEO Parker Conrad to discuss the company's biggest product launch in years: Rippling Data Cloud. Parker explains why he believes the future of enterprise AI depends on giving AI access to an organization's people data and business systems, not just more powerful models.

They also discuss Rippling's expansion into banking and financial services, the company's growth past $1 billion in annualized revenue, the state of today's fundraising and IPO markets, and Parker's advice for founders navigating soaring valuations.

  • The return of the Consumer Gold Rush? What Chi-Hua Chien is betting on next

    The return of the Consumer Gold Rush? What Chi-Hua Chien is betting on next
    2026/06/16
    In this episode, Connie and Alex talk with Goodwater Capital co-founder Chi-Hua Chien, whose career spans some of Silicon Valley’s biggest technology shifts, from helping source Accel’s investment in Facebook as a young associate to backing a new generation of consumer and AI startups. While much of the venture world is focused on models, chips, and infrastructure, Chi-Hua argues that history suggests the biggest long-term winners of the AI era may be the application companies built on top of them. They talk about why AI startups are reaching unprecedented revenue levels with remarkably small teams, what’s driving today’s soaring valuations, and why he believes many infrastructure businesses will eventually face the same commoditization pressures seen in previous technology cycles. He also shares what he’s seeing inside consumer AI, from hyper-personalized entertainment and women’s health platforms to new products built around voice, agents, and individualized experiences. And they discuss the increasingly public tensions between founders and VCs, why some of the most interesting fintech innovation is happening outside the U.S., and why Chi-Hua believes one of the biggest opportunities in consumer technology may be helping people reconnect in the real world.
