Pain is a Moat: How Australia’s Top AI Founders Are Building Global Giants

What does it take to build world class AI companies out of Australia, and why does San Francisco still move 6 to 9 months faster? In this episode, Brendan Hill sits down with 3 of Australia’s most ambitious AI founders: Pasha Rayan (A1Base), Anshul Jain (Everlab) and Jacky Koh (Relevance AI). They break down the rise of agentic AI, how engineering culture in SF accelerates innovation, and why the next generation of founders need to think in $100b outcomes. They dive into why the best founders and engineers are "addicts" who get lost in time building things they love, building autonomous healthcare, and why AI companies should stay pre-revenue longer to ensure they are building real "magic" before scaling. They also unpack what Australia must do to stay competitive, how to build teams that love hard problems, and why ambition, pace and hands-on founders matter more than ever. It’s a rare inside look at the operators defining the next era of AI infrastructure, agent orchestration and primary healthcare.
