Can AI Build Your Business Faster, Cheaper & Better?

In this episode of P&L, we explore how AI is changing the way we build and scale businesses and what entrepreneurs and operators need to know with insights from Bikesh Lakhmichand, CEO and Founding Partner of 1337 Ventures, and Warren Leow, CEO of Pixlr Group. Sparked by DeepSeek’s breakthrough cost efficiency, we discuss how businesses can achieve more with less, from leaner teams to lower costs, echoing past tech revolutions like cloud computing and smartphones.

Our conversation delves into how AI-powered tools are enhancing productivity, streamlining operations, and reshaping customer acquisition, marketing, and product development. We examine the challenges of integrating these technologies and the impact on funding requirements for both new ventures and established companies.

Whether you’re a founder looking to harness AI or an investor seeking the next wave of digital innovation, this episode offers insights into how to navigate today’s rapidly evolving business building landscape.
