Here's my conversation with Snowflake's CEO, Sridhar Ramaswamy. We went deep on all things data and AI, and also covered some fun/unexpected tidbits: * Why raising too much money is a problem for startups * How Sridhar wasn't planning on becoming Snowflake's CEO * Google's current conundrum in the search business * Why choosing Iceberg may have seemed defensive at first, but unlocked many use cases * How Cortex Analyst, Snowflake's AI analyst product is *not* killing BI * Why Snowflake's initial business model around charging for storage may have been a mistake * Why Snowflake got out of the business of training its own models #ai #artificialintelligence #BI #data #podcast #snowflake

Why I joined Highbeam: Asked my bank what I was earning on idle cash. They said, “Not much, but we appreciate your business.” Tried to get insights from my transaction data. They sent me a CSV and wished me luck. Logged into their portal. Thought I accidentally opened a museum exhibit on early internet banking. That’s when I realized: this is broken.

We just launched LatestTariffs.com Things are changing fast for our consumer brand customers and we're keeping this information up-to-date. It’s a free resource to track the most recent tariff updates and understand how they impact your COGS. Very proud of the team that put this together really quick yesterday - we couldn't find a good easy-to-understand comprehensive list ourselves - and this all came about late last night.
