Summary
The AI hype cycle has been relentless. The results in your business, probably less so. This is the conversation that happens after the keynote — between people who've actually deployed this stuff and lived with what broke.
Tony O'Brien, Managing Partner & CSO of Fyntra AI, sits down with Chris Maresca (c32.co) — a consultant who works across SMBs, startups, and pre-deal PE advisory — for a candid take on where AI is genuinely working and where it's theater.
Inside this episode: • Why most startups fail in sales, not engineering — and why AI widens that gap • The real ROI play in M&A due diligence and PE operations • The build-vs-buy inversion: when a three-month internal build beats a SaaS subscription • Local AI stacks and data sovereignty for regulated industries • The boomer knowledge-gap crisis nobody's pricing in • Bay Area's pyramid-scheme economics and the geographic premium trap • The multimillion-dollar solo entrepreneur — niche curiosity or mainstream future?
Built for operators, not spectators.
