TikTok Ban, Y Combinator Experiences, Bitcoin All-Time High and Elon Musk OpenAI Drama

In this episode of Founders Weekly, Heini Zachariassen and Theis Søndergaard discuss Bitcoin reaching an all-time high, the TikTok ban in the US, OpenAI's response to Elon Musk's lawsuit, AI regulation in Europe, and other short news updates. They also interview Joakim Bruchmann, co-founder and CEO of Pluto Markets, about his experience with Y Combinator and the challenges of raising funding after the program. The conversation covers the challenges of generating traction, the trade-offs of joining Y Combinator, the tailored approach of Y Combinator for regulated industries, managing expectations and team morale, and the question of whether being a startup founder is for everybody. The podcast's performance is also reviewed, with a focus on the number of downloads and the plan for future episodes.
