Hot-in-Tech goes beyond the headlines to explore the people and signals behind what’s actually hot in technology.

Through candid conversations with top VCs, founders, and executives, we unpack how they got into the rooms that matter, the bets that paid off (and the ones that didn’t), and what’s coming next, long before it becomes consensus.

Less hype. More signal.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Why AI Won’t Replace Humans (But Will Change Every Job) | Gary Survis, Insight Partners
Q: Gary, looking ahead, what do you feel is Hot-in-Tech in the upcoming 12 months?
AI must be integrated into product strategy; existing companies should adapt their products to leverage AI, while new ventures should build models from scratch. The opportunities will be immense if teams focus on governance, context, data, and the bespoke data that LLMS don't have, enabling powerful, reliable agents.
AI, Venture Capital, and Startup Resilience with Charlie Federman
Q: What do you see as truly hot in the tech market for 2026?
Capital for revenue-positive startups remains cheap, which fuels hyper-scaling, but the trend will rotate as costs of capital normalize and leaders push toward market leadership with sustainable economics.
The Future of Product Security: AI, Leadership, and Secure-by-Design with Oleg Yusim
Q: What skills or mindset shifts are most critical for product security leaders moving from technical to organizational roles?
Begin with a strong technical foundation, but as you move into leadership you must develop people-focused communication, the ability to read organizational contexts, and to tailor delivery to different leadership audiences, since the decision to adopt a solution hinges on people and objectives rather than pure technical elegance.
Pioneering Preemptive Cybersecurity with Sivan Tehila
Q: So Sivan, you were talking a little bit about kind of how defenders need to use AI and agentic AI. And I get the need to bring everything together, prioritize, understand what really has impact. But I want to push you a little bit further down the road and kind of how you envision AI influencing security. You know, in a world where there's so many alerts and there's so many tools, and CISOs have no idea even how to approach kind of the new challenges that AI introduces. What's your vision to what security looks like in the age of AI?
AI accelerates action and prioritization, but human judgment remains crucial. Security teams will use AI to provide context, close the loop with automated agents, and decide when to intervene, while keeping governance and the human oversight layer intact as the system evolves.
Hagit Oren, CEO of TaxRay: How AI is Transforming Tax Compliance and Risk Management.
Q: What was Hagit's biggest challenge in pulling the team together?
The biggest challenge was integrating two domains—technology and tax—into a cohesive product team that speaks the same language and treats tax services as a product rather than consultancy.
