Vertical AI

A guide to the best B2B podcast coverage of Vertical AI - the shows and 9 episodes that go deepest, ranked by substance, not downloads.

Vertical AI - purpose-built AI systems designed for specific industries rather than horizontal, one-size-fits-all platforms - is reshaping how companies compete. Episodes featuring Nick Tippmann, Ilya Kravtsov, and Pat McGovern from Bowery Capital explore where vertical AI creates defensible advantages, from banking to creative workflows, while OMERS Ventures and others dissect how the transition from SaaS to integrated systems of work unlocks real operational value in narrow, high-value domains.
