  • Zenline AI and the Retail Margin War: Why Assortment Velocity Wins

    Zenline AI and the Retail Margin War: Why Assortment Velocity Wins
    Feb 5 2026

    European retail is entering a margin war driven by global platform competitors. In this episode, Arber Sejdiji, CEO of Zenline AI, explains why the strategic battleground is not pricing or promotion, but assortment decision velocity. We cover why dashboards fail at catalog scale, how long-tail data exposes hidden margin loss, and why relationship mapping is now required to price and curate assortments profitably.

  • Polarsteps CEO Clare Jones: How a Privacy-First Travel App Scaled to 18M Users

    Polarsteps CEO Clare Jones: How a Privacy-First Travel App Scaled to 18M Users
    Feb 3 2026

    Polarsteps scaled from roughly 10M to 18M+ users by building a travel product that people love enough to share privately with the few people who matter most. In this episode, Clare Jones (CEO, Polarsteps) explains why intimate sharing beats broadcast virality, how Polarsteps accelerated growth by focusing on France, and why the company deliberately delayed subscription monetization despite travel being one of the strongest categories for paid conversion. We also unpack Polarsteps’ AI travel planner approach, how personalization avoids generic “LLM itineraries,” and what it means to build a global consumer brand in Europe without compromising privacy, trust, or values.
