Laura Modiano: OpenAI's New Founder Experience Role
Laura Modiano explains her newly created Founder Experience role at OpenAI, arguing AI has compressed every step of company building and that a LinkedIn stat showing a 60% jump in people calling themselves founders means OpenAI must proactively support day-one through scaled founders. She covers how her team supports founders selling into enterprises (over a million companies building on OpenAI), the feedback-led loop she wants OpenAI to run, and her founderxfeedback.com experiment that drew a few hundred responses within hours. She closes on her belief in startups pushing AI adoption across every vertical, her Greek roots, and an upcoming panel with her 10-year-old daughter.
