  • What’s the company? How did you start? Are you a co-founder?
  • Did PE come to you or did you go looking for the investment?
  • How are you preserving the culture and keeping your best teammates? Usually the pressure to stop R&D and focus only on margin expansion makes this hard to do - that your experience yet or things still good?

  • Are you flying business class?
  • Did your employees have equity? If so how did this process work, with the PE firm?
  • How did the AI/agentic-engineering/LLMs changed your engineering and operations ( maybe product management ) teams and activities over these last 2 years ? How did it affected your cost structure ?
  • How do you prioritize what to focus on and what to reject? I mean what does your prioritization framework look like? what's your margin of decision? And 2nd or 3rd question if I may, how do you stay up to date? Like what sources do you use or do you mostly rely on AI?
