Built This Week

This week we sat down with Hardik Kabaria, co-founder and CEO of Vinci, to demo the AI platform making physics simulation accessible to any engineer building hardware. A chip tape-out used to cost millions of dollars and take months. Thermal analysis that should take seconds was waiting days for a specialist with a PhD. Vinci is compressing all of that into minutes — and making it accessible to an...

This week we sit down with Zach Rattner, CTO and co-founder of Yembo, to demo the computer vision platform that turns a ten minute phone walkthrough into a full home inventory, 3D model, and floor plan.

We also dig into Claude Fable 5 b...

This week we sit down with Ryan Aytay, President and COO of Code Metal, to dig into one of the most underestimated problems in tech — the legacy code running mission critical infrastructure across aerospace, defense, automotive, and medical devices.

Clinical trials are one of the slowest and most expensive processes in modern medicine.
