## Resource

In this episode, Sven Köppel shares his inspiring journey from academia to co-founding Anabrid, a startup pioneering the future of analog computing. He discusses how Anabrid is shaping the next generation of computing hardware, the company’s mission to bring analog technology into everyday devices, and the role of accelerator programs in driving startup success. Sven also opens up about team dynamics, the challenges of remote collaboration, and the realities of startup life, from choosing the right co-founders to staying adaptable through mistakes. Season 4 of Humans in AI is here. This season, we’re switching things up. We’re still speaking with the brilliant founders and leaders driving innovation across AI, HPC, and GPU infrastructure, but this time, the focus is firmly on what’s happening right now. Tune in as we dive into the roles they’re in, the challenges they’re navigating, and the strategies that are actually working (and the ones that aren’t). Raw, relevant, and straight from the people building the AI ecosystem. New episodes of the Humans In AI podcast are released every Thursday, so make sure you tune in!
