Kevin Novak | Rackhouse VC - On where the magic is in Ai, getting fired as Head of Data at Uber, and the hard (but important) lessons he learned building teams

Meet Kevin Novak, founder and general partner of Rackhouse Venture Capital, an AI-native early-stage venture firm. From Michigan and a path to becoming a professor to leaving everything to join a 'cab company' in Silicon Valley, we talk about what it was like to be the first data scientist at Uber - and how he got fired from leading the team while on vacation, and how it was a blessing in disguise that he still uses as a lesson on how to be a better leader. We discuss his take on AI, where the best place is to invest in AI, and how nuclear power can play a role. We also learned how the most challenging things he's faced have made him better today and how they can do the same for you.
