On a live taping of the First of Kind podcast at SPC NYC, an attendee asked Profound founder Dylan Babbs how the company's moat holds as frontier labs keep gobbling things up. Babbs called it a boring question—then delivered a strong answer. He also revealed he tried 12-15 ideas before Profound; the one that worked took only three days to build. Part 2 of the episode drops Thursday.
