Pablo Omeñaca left a YC-backed company right after a $75M acquisition — not to rest, but to build again. This week on Signal, he joins Ramón and Andrea to talk about Karumi: an AI agent that demos your software product live, on a video call, in any language, 24/7.We cover PMF signals, building moats in the AI application layer, the YC principle every founder should internalize, and what the Claude 5 ban tells us about Europe's AI vulnerability.
