    S3 Ep93: Building the open social web with Matej Svancer, Founder & CEO of Openvibe
    Jun 5 2025
    This week on Tech Can't Save Us, host Paul David is joined by Matej Svancer, Founder & CEO of Openvibe, a platform that's bringing together the fragmented world of decentralised social media into one unified experience.

    They discuss how Openvibe connects platforms like Mastodon, BlueSky, Threads, and Nostr, allowing users to manage all their social networks from a single app. Matej explains why decentralisation is becoming crucial as people wake up to the risks of centralised platforms, from algorithm manipulation to content suppression.

    The conversation covers Openvibe's impressive growth to 80,000 downloads, the challenges of making complex decentralised tech accessible to everyday users, and how the company is using its recent $800,000 funding round to expand.

    S3 Ep92: Cultural listening for brands with Michael Howard, Founder and CEO of Nichefire
    Jun 2 2025
    This week on Tech Can't Save Us, host Paul David is joined by Michael Howard, founder and CEO of Nichefire, an AI-powered cultural intelligence platform that helps major brands like Walmart, Kraft Heinz, and Nestle identify and predict emerging cultural trends before they hit the mainstream.

    They discuss how cultural intelligence has evolved far beyond traditional social listening, allowing businesses to spot micro-trends that start in small online communities and behavioural shifts that companies have historically missed.

    The conversation covers Nichefire's recent $2.6 million funding round, how the AI technology actually works to process data from multiple online sources, and Michael's journey from traditional marketing roles to founding a company that predicts cultural movements.

    S3 Ep91: The rise of AI assistants with Dawson Chen, Co-founder and CEO of Martin
    May 22 2025
    This week on Tech Can't Save Us, host Paul David is joined by Dawson Chen, co-founder and CEO of Martin AI, a Y Combinator-backed startup building what they claim is a more intuitive and personalised AI assistant that rivals offerings from tech giants like OpenAI and Google.

    At just 19 years old, Dawson left Yale University to pursue his vision of creating an AI assistant that feels like having your own personal Jarvis. They discuss how Martin is filling gaps that current AI assistants haven't addressed, the advantages of being a scrappy startup competing with tech giants, and the most surprising ways people are using Martin.

    Dawson also reflects on their recent $2 million seed funding round and why he believes the future will be about which company has the most viral AI product.
