One of the things I'm learning, especially on this podcast, is to not to try and feel the need to have an opinion just to fill the space. That's why we have Jason. Welcome back to 20VC with me, Harry Stebbings, brought to you from Greece. Now this episode is a cracker with Jason Lempkin, Rory O'Driscoll. We discuss core weave, new bank, databricks hitting $100 billion and much more.

This is my favourite show to do, but I want to make it better, so let me know what we can do to improve these shows. Harry at 20bc.com. And then next week we've got the one and only OG of SaaS, Mark Benioff, joining us for a very special episode. So stay tuned for that one. But before we dive into the show today, let's talk about agents.

Specifically Piper, the AI SDR agent brought to you by Qualified. The agentic marketing era has arrived. And if you're a B2B marketing leader looking to scale a pipeline generation, Piper the AI SDR agent, wow, it is here to help. Piper is the number one AI SDR agent on the market, according to G2, and hundreds of companies like Box, Asana and Brex, have hired Piper to autonomously grow inbound pipeline.
