Why we need expertise-specific AI agents

Imagine you need to insure your new car. You call an insurance broker to discuss the type of vehicle, whether it's new or second-hand, how many kilometers you intend to drive per year, who will be driving the car, the type of coverage you want, and based on this, the insurance options available to you — except the voice on the other end of the phone is an AI agent.

We sat down with Julien Bellemare, co-founder and CEO, to bring to life Catalog’s valiant fundraising journey, including how it happened, how it felt, and most importantly, his tips for founders following in his footsteps.

These companies will span various sectors, including B2B SaaS, health, AI, cybersecurity, and climate. But what will unite them all? What kind of companies do we truly aspire to build?

What is a late cofounder, and why aren’t we talking more about them?

Aside from being billionaires, Elon Musk (Tesla), Eric Schmidt (Google), and Tony Hsieh (Zappos) all shared a unique characteristic: they were late cofounders. But what is a late cofounder? Why do they often act as game-changers, and who is best suited to this role?
