About the show

Founders Uncensored

Founders Uncensored tells the stories of the people building AI-first companies — in their own words, without the polish. In each episode, a founder walks through a real company-building decision: the bet they made, what broke, what it cost, and what they would never do again.

Every founder circles the same three questions. Is this idea a real business? Who do I hire next? How do I sell something that still breaks? Most of the advice available is either a funding narrative or a highlight reel, and neither one helps at 11pm on a Tuesday when the design partner goes quiet. This show is the version you would only get from a peer.

It is built for founders and founding teams at AI companies, senior operators weighing whether to start something, and engineers tracking where adaptive software actually works in production versus where it is still theory.

Peter Day
General Partner, super{set}

Peter is a General Partner at super{set}, the venture studio that forms, funds and builds data and AI companies. Before that he was CTO and Chief Product Officer at Quantcast, where he ran engineering and product through the company's scaling years.

He is a builder among builders forming companies today — not a retired commentator on the industry — and he hosts every conversation from inside the decisions being discussed.

Presented by

super{set} is a venture studio that forms, funds and builds data and AI companies from concept to scale — not a fund that waits for a pitch. We start with a thesis, assemble the team, and build the company alongside founders from day one.

Studio, not a fundCompanies are formed in-house — thesis first, team second, capital alongside.
Data and AI from the ground upEvery company is built around data infrastructure and applied AI as the core, not a feature.
Operators in the roomPartners who have built and scaled companies stay involved through the hardest stretches.
