Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Episode 431: Cathy Lewenberg - CEO, Bevi
Q: What is the culture like at Bevi and what makes it different?
Bevi emphasizes mission-driven work, collaboration without ego, and a balance of serious focus with fun activities and ERGs. The founders' humility and a strong emphasis on teamwork help create an environment where great ideas can come from anywhere and growth is shared.
Episode 431: Cathy Lewenberg - CEO, Bevi
Q: How did Cathy land in the Bevi leadership role and what about her background prepared her for this company?
Her career blended consulting, consumer goods, healthcare, and digital transformation, culminating in leadership roles at CVS Health and Drizly. This mix gave her the operational rigor, category-defining strategy, and growth execution needed to scale Bevi and push its hardware-software-beverage platform forward.
Episode 429: Lior Div - CEO & Co-Founder, 7AI
Q: Why Boston as a base, and how does the local ecosystem support your growth?
Boston offers a unique talent pool, universities, government labs, and a mature cybersecurity scene. The city's ecosystem plus the Mass AI Coalition creates a supportive environment for scaling a major cybersecurity company, with access to capital and collaboration across the West Coast and beyond.
Episode 429: Lior Div - CEO & Co-Founder, 7AI
Q: What does it mean to be an AI-native cybersecurity company, and how does that shape your org and product?
Being AI-native means rethinking architecture from the ground up with AI at the center, moving data to the AI rather than forcing AI to chase data, and using agentic AI to handle detection and response, while humans guide strategy and oversight. This translates into a flat, autonomous R&D culture that ships quickly, with a Plaid model to guarantee outcomes and an emphasis on customer collaboration.
Episode 427: Joshua Summers - CEO & Co-Founder, EnFi
Q: What role did TBD Angels play in your path, and how does investor alignment shape EnFi's growth?
TBD Angels provided patient, specialized capital with deep lending networks; for EnFi, selecting investors who are true partners and bring a lending footprint helps accelerate go-to-market and ensures the round aligns with long-term strategic goals.
