The Slidebean Stand-Up
This is the tech world’s daily stand-up: we skim the chaos and hand you the “so what” in under 15 minutes (our guarantee to busy founders). No fluff, a few laughs, then back to building.
Caya is a startup founder, YouTube host (and confused capitalist). Kevin Casey White is a stand-up comedian who likes to hate on the tech that might replace him.
We break down startups, AI, and money moves into plain-English, founder-ready takeaways—part quick explainer, part honest POV, part group-chat banter.
