What does it take to build a durable AI company?
MaC Venture Capital Co-Founder & Managing General Partner Marlon Nichols joined The Startup Podcast to share what separates lasting AI businesses from those chasing the latest hype.
In the conversation, Marlon explores:
• Why AI-native companies have a fundamental advantage over AI-enabled businesses.
• Why software alone is no longer a moat—and what actually creates defensible companies.
• How founders should rethink unit economics in an AI-driven world.
• Why the biggest opportunities may lie in physical AI, manufacturing, robotics, and energy.
For founders, operators, and investors building in this new era, this is a conversation worth listening to.
