No Priors
Hosted by Sarah Guo & Elad Gil
Two AI investors interviewing the people building the AI era.
Editorial take
Sarah Guo and Elad Gil are working investors, which means the questions skew toward 'what's the business model and does it have moat' more than the engineering details. That's a feature if you're a founder figuring out positioning; less so if you want technical depth (use Latent Space for that). The guest list is the star: rare access to AI lab leadership and breakout-stage founders.

Listen if you …
- you're building or investing at the application layer of AI
- you want strategic / market-shape conversations, not engineering deep-dives
- you can listen at 1.25x, pacing leans conversational
Skip if you …
- you want implementation-grade engineering, Latent Space is the better fit
- you bounce off the investor lens (everything as TAM and moat)
About the show
Sarah Guo (Conviction) and Elad Gil interview AI founders, researchers, and operators. The investor lens is consistent, every conversation circles back to market structure, defensibility, and where value accrues, which makes it useful or grating depending on your role.
The show benefits from Sarah and Elad's network: guests routinely include AI lab CEOs and stealth-stage founders other shows can't book.
