The MAD Podcast with Matt Turck goes deep with the people building AI.

Each week, Matt sits down with top founders, researchers, and leaders to understand how AI actually works, from frontier models and agents to infrastructure, and the companies defining the AI economy.

Guests include researchers and leaders from OpenAI, Anthropic, Google DeepMind, and neo-labs; founders and CTOs from breakout startups such as Vercel, LangChain, Granola, and Hugging Face; CEOs of public companies including Cloudflare, Snowflake, Datadog, and Cerebras; and leading analysts such as Benedict Evans and Dylan Patel.

Matt is a General Partner at FirstMark, a prolific investor in AI, and the creator of the MAD (Machine Learning, AI & Data) Landscape, the industry’s reference map of the AI ecosystem.

The goal of every episode: go beyond the headlines and understand what is changing, how it works, why it matters, and what gets built next.
