Artwork for Power Draw

AI infrastructure · Ongoing series

Power Draw

Host: Keith Koo · Co-host and producer: Henry Finn

Every AI product sits on chips, racks, power contracts and somebody's financing. Power Draw follows that physical layer through the people who build it and pay for it: neocloud operators, chip startups, data center and power developers, and the investors carrying the risk. Each episode takes one constraint, such as power, cooling, interconnect, utilization or financing, and asks what it costs, who is solving it, and what breaks if they don't.

Format: 25 to 30 minute filmed conversations, in studio or at the events where the industry meets.

Planned talking points

  • Who survives the neocloud shakeout?
  • Power is the bottleneck: grid queues, siting and on-site generation
  • Keeping expensive GPUs busy

Artwork for Bet the Company

Founders · Ongoing series

Bet the Company

Host: Keith Koo · Co-host and producer: Henry Finn

Each episode is built around one decision a founder made when the company could have died: a pivot, a layoff, a price change, turning down an acquirer, or putting the last of the runway on one customer. The founder tells it in order, with the numbers they are willing to share, and the host asks what they knew at the time and what they would change.

Format: 20 to 25 minute filmed conversations.

Planned talking points

  • Starting many companies at once: the studio model
  • The pivot that cost the first product
  • Cutting the team to stay alive

Artwork for Final Terms

Investors · Ongoing series

Final Terms

Host: Keith Koo · Co-host and producer: Henry Finn

Final Terms covers every kind of capital: angels, venture funds, family offices, LPs, private equity, sovereign funds and corporate investors. Each episode sits with one investor and one deal they can discuss on the record: what they saw, what they doubted, what got argued about, and what was agreed in the end. It also covers the deals they walked away from.

Format: 30 minute filmed conversations.

Planned talking points

  • The first institutional check in an AI infrastructure company
  • Corporate venture: when the investor is also the customer
  • Family offices in venture: what they ask that funds don't

Security · Coming soon, 2027

Incident Room

Host: Keith Koo · Co-host and producer: Henry Finn

AI systems add new places to attack: model weights, firmware, GPU clusters shared between customers, and agents with access to company systems. Incident Room puts you in the room where the response happens. Each episode takes one layer of the stack and one real incident or failure class the guest can discuss on the record, then asks what changes in an AI data center.

Format: 20 to 25 minute filmed conversations. Monthly at launch.

Planned talking points

  • Hardware root of trust: what has to be true before the first instruction runs
  • Firmware attacks on servers
  • Confidential computing for model weights and customer data

Breakout companies · Coming soon, 2027

Unicorn Tales

Created, hosted and produced by Henry Finn

Every company that breaks out has a story people repeat: the launch video, the demo, the founder clip that spread. Unicorn Tales goes behind those stories with the founders and the creative teams who shaped them, then looks at the craft: how the piece was made, what AI video changed, and what it took. Produced with Unicorn Studios.

Format: 15 to 20 minute filmed episodes. Monthly at launch.

Planned talking points

  • The launch video that made the company
  • Founder-led content: when the CEO became the channel
  • AI video in a real launch

Unicorn Studios produces this series. Any Unicorn Studios client featured is disclosed on air.
