Episode #78: Owning Your AI Agents, When Your VC Leaves, Are You Actually AI-Native?

E78 • May 7, 2026 • 23 mins

This week on The Learning Corner, Charles and Mia dig into who actually owns the AI agents you build at work and whether you can take them with you when you leave. They unpack what happens to a founder's standing inside a VC firm when their partner walks out the door, and why that moment is really the start of a new fundraise. They close with a sharp framework for separating companies that are truly AI-native from those just using better autocomplete. Three great reads, one tight conversation.

Key Points

  • AI adoption levels in companies are rapidly evolving, and what was considered advanced a few quarters ago can quickly become average.
  • The departure of a key VC partner can leave a startup feeling abandoned, necessitating immediate action to secure new internal sponsorship or external support.
  • Many companies overestimate their AI capabilities, and truly AI-native organizations that operate autonomously across all functions are still largely aspirational.
