In this episode, I spoke to Arvind Jain, founder and CEO of Glean. After helping build Google's search infrastructure and co-founding Rubrik (which recently hit $1B in revenue), Arvind launched Glean to solve the problem of enterprise search and help employees enhance their work with AI agents. We discuss his journey as a technical founder, insights on building successful startups, and his perspective on AI's future.

Episode Notes

My guest today is Arvind Jain, the founder and CEO of Glean. Before Glean, Arvind spent over a decade building Google's search infrastructure. He then co-founded Rubrik, which recently passed $1B ARR.

With Glean, Arvind is tackling the longstanding challenge of enterprise search. Yet his vision goes beyond this. He believes every employee should have their own team of AI agents to help them work smarter and achieve more. 

In our conversation, Arvind shares his journey as a technical founder and offers his unique perspective on what it takes to build a successful startup today. We also discuss where AI is heading, and where he sees the biggest opportunities for founders. 

Hope you find this conversation valuable!
