Prepped for @Arsenal 👀

Marc Andreessen calls him "the best AI CEO nobody knows about." Elad Gil calls his company "the most successful, most quiet company in AI." Qasar Younis (@qasar) is the co-founder and CEO of Applied Intuition—which brings AI to vehicles, like tractors, planes, submarines, mining rigs, cars, and more. The company is valued at over $15B, making ~$1B in ARR, with 18 of the top 20 global automakers (and the U.S. Department of Defense) as customers. And @Qasar's story is wild: Born on a farm in Pakistan. Emigrated to the U.S. at age 5. Grew up in Detroit managing engine lines at GM. Harvard MBA. Became COO of @Y Combinator (during the era that funded OpenAI, Cruise, DoorDash, and Coinbase). Then left to start Applied Intuition in 2017. As Qasar shared, "not many people run a $15B+ physical AI company with revenue and free cash flow. And by not many, I think literally zero other people." In a rare and in-depth interview, we discuss: 🔸 The counterintuitive reason he's stayed quiet and built in private 🔸 Why reading old books and cleaning your own office makes you a better founder 🔸 How to build a culture where the best idea wins, not the loudest voice 🔸 Why the best companies show traction early—and what to do if yours doesn't 🔸 How physical AI will transform farming, mining, and construction before it ever reaches your home Listen now 👇 youtu.be/_rcniEb9bLw
