My guest today is Jonathan Siddharth, co-founder and CEO of Turing. Jonathan incubated Turing in Foundation Capital’s Palo Alto office in 2018. Since then, it has grown into a multi-billion dollar company that powers nearly every frontier AI lab: OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, Meta, Microsoft, and others. If you’ve seen a breakthrough in how AI reasons or codes, odds are Turing had a hand in it. Jonathan has a provocative thesis: within three years, every white-collar job, including the CEO’s, will be automated. In this episode, we talk about what it will take to reach artificial superintelligence, why this goal matters, and how the agentic era will fundamentally reshape work. We also dig into his founder journey: what he learned from his first startup Rover, how he built Turing from day one, and how his leadership style has evolved to emphasize speed, intensity, and staying in the details. Jonathan has been at the edge of AI for years, and he has the rare ability to translate what’s happening at the frontier into lessons for builders today. Hope you enjoy the conversation!
