Inside the Silicon Mind, hosted by Firas Sozan, takes you behind the scenes with the Founders, CEOs, and Venture Capitalists building the future of technology.
Every week, Firas sits down with the operators and investors rewriting the rules of technology - from the zero-to-one startup journey to scaling billion-dollar companies like Snowflake, Microsoft, and Google.
Discover how the best teams in Silicon Valley are actually built, what top VCs look for before writing a check, and the make-or-break decisions that separate companies that win from those that don't.
Whether you're a founder raising your next round, an engineer deciding where to build your career, or an investor looking for an edge, this is the show that pulls back the curtain on what's really happening inside the Silicon Valley machine.
New episodes every Tuesday at 8AM PT.
