Episode #78: Owning Your AI Agents, When Your VC Leaves, Are You Actually AI-Native?

About this episode

The episode discusses AI ownership, the implications of a VC partner leaving, and differentiating truly AI-native companies from others.

This week on The Learning Corner, Charles and Mia dig into who actually owns the AI agents you build at work and whether you can take them with you when you leave. They unpack what happens to a founder's standing inside a VC firm when their partner walks out the door, and why that moment is really the start of a new fundraise. They close with a sharp framework for separating companies that are truly AI-native from those just using better autocomplete. Three great reads, one tight conversation.
