Vibe Coding: The End of the Technical Co-Founder
How AI tools like Claude Code and Cursor have removed the last barrier between vision and software. Sam shares his real workflow shipping production AI health tech with no CS degree — and what this means for the next generation of founders.
The Artist Advantage: Why Creatives Build Better Products
A decade of reading 50,000-person crowds, managing global tours, and negotiating label deals taught Sam more about product, execution, and fundraising than any MBA. The talk every creative professional with a startup idea needs to hear.
Building Healify: AI That Adapts to Life, Not the Other Way Around
The origin story and technical architecture of Healify — an AI health platform born from a touring musician's broken relationship with wellness. LangGraph agents, React Native, NestJS, and the philosophy of adaptive AI.
Investing in the Vibe Coding Era
Through Hello World Investments, Sam has backed founders who build differently — artists, athletes, and creative entrepreneurs. This talk covers what Sam looks for, why the vibe coding paradigm changes who gets funded, and the investment thesis for creative-led tech.
