AI Governance Before AI Breaks You | CEO Matt Kunkel

Episode notes

AI is moving fast, and companies are scrambling to keep up…without blowing themselves up. Matt Kunkel explains why AI governance is about enabling innovation, not slowing it down, and how his customers are drowning in AI requests with no clear standard to follow. Brandon and Matt get into why this is a massive tailwind for risk and compliance, and why “guardrails” are the only way to scale AI responsibly. But this episode is also a founder story: leaving a million-dollar salary, bootstrapping at zero, Techstars, Jeff Weiner, and building culture that actually shows up in day-to-day decisions. You’ll walk away with a clearer picture of what it takes to build, raise, and survive.
