Has AI Rewritten the Rules for Founders in 2026? with Yaniv Bernstein

In our first episode of 2026 Scotty Allen speaks with Yaniv Bernstein, ex-Google, Chief Product Officer of Vera, and host of The Startup Podcast, about how AI is changing what it takes to build a startup in 2026, what "technical" and "non-technical" founders mean (if anything) in this new age, and what the minimum a founder of any description needs to be able to know about and do with AI to get into the game in this new world. They discuss why speed is now table stakes, how small teams can go further than ever, what founders should worry about early on, and how product thinking and real customer contact matter more than ever.
