At 1Mby1M, we believe in learning from case studies of successful entrepreneurs. These case studies involve discussions on opportunities and challenges specific to the domain such as Generative AI, E-Commerce, Digital Health, Cyber Security, and FinTech.
>>>Entrepreneurs often bet on markets that are yet to develop.
Good entrepreneurs often create new markets. Steve Jobs CREATED the smartphone market.
VCs bet on such bets.
>>>Product and Technology are not the same.
While technology failures are difficult to recover from, product issues can be addressed.
Often, once a startup starts to engage with the market, it develops a more sophisticated understanding of the market’s needs. Features, functions, integrations, APIs – a lot of input comes into the company through customer immersion.
>>>At the heart of most tech companies is, of course, technology. Today, the market is particularly frothy around Artificial Intelligence. AI is a technology that is notorious for not working as envisioned.
>>>Businesses are finding unexpected benefits by incorporating Generative AI into their product roadmaps. Ragic has built a $5M ARR no-code platform in the market. A Generative AI front-end is adding unprecedented usability and adoption momentum. Fascinating!
Sramana Mitra: Alright, Jeff, let’s go to the very beginning of your journey. Where are you from? Where were you born, raised? What kind of background?
Jeff Kuo: I was born and raised in Taipei, Taiwan. I mostly grew up here, but in my childhood, I lived for two years in the US in Michigan.

Sramana Mitra: John, welcome to the show again. What are you up to these days? It looks like we talked a while ago about your previous company DataSong and you’re up to a new adventure. So, tell us about it.
John Wallace: I’ve been fortunate to be building Lift Lab for the past five years. The team had built a company with me called DataSong, which, you covered. I feel very honored and fortunate to be a second time attendee on one of these interviews.

It’s a real pleasure for me to return to this forum after four years. Thank you very much, Maharaj, for having me again and again. History is evolving rather quickly at the moment.
>>>Arvind is an experienced entrepreneur who was able to raise $15M on a concept to solve a big problem. Since then, Glean has been abundantly funded, generates abundant revenue and has become a legitimate Unicorn.
Sramana Mitra: Let’s start at the very beginning of your journey. Where are you from? Where were you born and raised? What kind of background?
>>>Rohit has effectively used the Bootstrapping Using Services technique to bootstrap an AI-Powered Enterprise Security venture to mid eight figure revenues. In that process, he has turned down offers for Venture Capital. I believe, in Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning, currently, Bootstrapping Using Services is one of the best ways to find problems to solve and build successful companies.
