Crazy Until It's Not: Startups, Venture Capital & Big Ideas
Digital JPEGs selling for millions of dollars; machines that turn thin air into food; people buying a McDonald's with Bitcoin; an AI program that can replace illustrators; psychedelics being prescribed by doctors. What do these ideas have in common? They were all completely crazy notions until, one day, before most people had even heard of them, they were part of our world. So what’s next? “Crazy until it’s not” is a podcast by firstminute capital where we talk with tech visionaries about their predictions for the future — ideas that may seem crazy today but could be part of daily life tomorrow. We ask each guest to come onto the show with one big, bold and non-obvious vision for the next five years as a jumping-off point for debate about how the world will be tomorrow. Previous guests on the firstminute capital podcast include Tony Blair, David Bonderman, Roelof Boetha, Max & Nellie Levchin, Jeff Immelt, Rio Ferdinand, Sir Hermann Hauser, Nico Rosberg and Niklas Zennstrom.

Welcome back to Crazy Until It's Not, a podcast about big ideas and the amazing people behind them.
Every episode we bring on a new guest who has a prediction for the future, which on the face of it, sounds a little bit crazy.
I'm your host, Michael Stothard, an early-stage tech investor at firstminute capital.
And today I'm joined by Jonas Andrulis, the Founder and CEO of Aleph Alpha, the generative A.I. Company from Heidelberg, which has built a generative A.I. model that is going up against the likes of Open AI.
Listen to this episode if you want to know about:
- How generative AI is changing the world.
- Can Europe compete?
- The fractal nature of time
- How creativity will be done by machines.
