About this podcast

In this insightful podcast, Arun Subramaniyan, Founder & CEO of Articul8, shares critical lessons for young founders navigating the challenging world of startups. Drawing from his extensive experience leading AI, quantum, and HPC initiatives at AWS and serving as VP of Cloud & AI Strategy at Intel, Arun reveals what 'Big Tech' rarely discloses about building a company from the ground up. He emphasizes the relentless 'hustle' required, where proactive engagement is paramount, and waiting for responses is not an option. The episode delves into four core principles essential for 'real builders,' offering practical advice on making a significant impact, avoiding self-imposed limitations, understanding why many AI projects fail to reach production, and the fallacy of chasing 'low-hanging fruit.' This discussion is a raw look at the no-safety-net reality of entrepreneurship, stressing humility, extreme dedication, and the fundamental definition of entrepreneurship as achieving goals without sufficient resources.
