Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Episode 103 Branchlab Co-Founder and CEO Josh Walsh
Q: Can you share how the Next Ventures deal with Lance Armstrong came together so quickly and what that signaled to you about the round?
It signaled a high-caliber, engaged investor group that could bring strategic value and momentum; the process moved rapidly due to proactive dialogue, with the Next team deeply involved throughout the closing.
Episode 103 Branchlab Co-Founder and CEO Josh Walsh
Q: What did you do differently this time around in fundraising—more diverse investors, better assembly of the team, or both?
A mix of both: assembling a table with a more thoughtful group of investors who add strategic value, expertise, and operational support, plus a strengthened management team that can operate with greater equity and collaboration.
Episode 103 Branchlab Co-Founder and CEO Josh Walsh
Q: Josh, we've been talking about the outcomes era. How does that play out in pharma specifically and inform BranchLab's opportunity?
Pharma is historically behind, but needs measurable outcomes; BranchLab aims to replace offline, opaque processes with software that can continuously measure and optimize impact across patient populations, using privacy-preserving AI and agentic interfaces.
Bringing Performance Audio to the US with Audion CEO Arthur Larrey
Q: What has AI changed in Audion's operations and product development?
AI is used to speed up targetting, creative mock-ups, and automated production, reducing manual work and enabling rapid, contextual targeting and personalization at scale.
Bringing Performance Audio to the US with Audion CEO Arthur Larrey
Q: How do you pitch performance audio to a marketer with a test budget?
The approach emphasizes scale in digital audio, the credibility of third-party measurement, and a clear path from exposure to measurable outcomes, prioritizing post-exposure performance over click-based metrics.
