AI Made MVPs Instant. So Why Are Most Startups Still Losing | Ep. 401 with Eric Ries
About this episode
Daniel Robbins and Eric Ries discuss the impact of AI on MVPs and the challenges startups face in a competitive landscape.
Daniel Robbins sits down with Lean Startup creator Eric Ries to unpack what AI is really changing and what it isn’t. Eric explains why faster MVPs don’t automatically mean easier entrepreneurship because competition accelerates too, and incumbents get the same tools. He also introduces the core idea of his new book Incorruptible: companies don’t fail only from bad strategy, they get “corrupted” as they scale, and governance must be designed before it’s too late.
