20VC: How to Build Your Own Data Center & Why Every Startup Should Do It | How ElevenLabs Leapfrogged Us: What I Learned | The AI Talent War: How Your Hiring Process Needs to Change with Cliff Weitzman, Speechify

Hundred percent is on isn't the biggest strategic mistake I made in the history of speech of fire. The best way to lose is not to be in the race. Be in the race. You don't want to be a fat manager. Who's like a general sitting in the back saying take that hill. You want to be the warrior who runs up with their sword and engages the enemy first. This is twenty VC with me, Harry Stabbings. Now I am fed up of the simple question answer back and forth podcast. Today's a real frickin' discussion. Cliff Weizman, founder and CEO of Speechify, one of the fastest growing Texas speech startups in the world.

on the show where we have a real debate about whether it's right to scale into enterprise from a phenomenal consumer business. What it takes to build an amazing go to market motion when you've already built this amazing consumer business. And then he also tells us some wild frickin' stories about spending tens of millions of dollars on NVIDIA GPUs and why so many more companies should be doing that over relying on other providers. This and so much more in the episode today. But before we dive into the show today. Today, I want to tell you about how the first AI law firm, Crosby, helped us close a big sponsor. As you know, some of the biggest companies in the world advertise on 20 VC. My British Dulcet tones clearly convert well. I was working to close this big sponsor, and they wanted to get through legal review quite quickly to close the deal. Crosby turned red lines around.

In three hours, and caught major issues that would have caused us serious problems in the future. Crosby combines AI, some of the best engineers in the world from companies like Ramp and Stripe, and some of the best attorneys in the world from top ten law firms. Customers get the best of both worlds. An elite human attorney reviews every contract, but they move incredibly quickly, returning red lines in under four hours. They help the fastest growing companies like Cognition, Ramp, and Clay. Close deals in hours, not weeks. Learn more at Crosby.ai forward slash two zero VC.

While Crosby keeps your numbers sharp, OneMind keeps your customer conversation sharper. Our friends over at OneMind have a hot take. The B2B GTM model we've been using for well the last twenty years. It's collapsing. Predictable revenue isn't so predictable, and buyers are just tired of explaining themselves at every handoff between SDRs, AEs, CSMs, and support. You feel it in your board reporting.
