In this episode of Founders Weekly, Heini Zachariassen and Theis Søndergaard discuss Bitcoin reaching an alltime high, the TikTok ban in the US, OpenAI's response to Elon Musk's lawsuit, AI regulation in Europe, and other short news updates. They also interview Joakim Bruchmann, cofounder and CEO of Pluto Markets, about his experience with Y Combinator and the challenges of raising funding after the program. The conversation covers the challenges of generating traction, the tradeoffs of joining Y Combinator, the approach of Y Combinator for regulated industries, managing expectations and team morale, and the question of whether being a startup founder is for everybody. The podcast's performance is also reviewed, with a focus on the number of downloads and the plan for future episodes.
