🎙️E64 - AI, Code, Care... When organizations stop guessing and start assessing.

🤔 Startups pitch AI like magic. But what happens when vibe-coded prototypes crash in production?👉 Who’s inspecting the code, not just the pitch deck?In this Forge of Unicorns episode, Dr. Jeremy Krell—Managing Partner at Revere Partners—reveals how real VCs assess risk in a post-hype market. With 40% of Revere’s portfolio in software, Jeremy’s team doesn’t just bet on the founder—they inspect the architecture, the codebase, and the clinical impact.From the operating room to the terminal, Mike & Jeremy show us why engineering diligence is no longer optional.👉 Why most AI-first startups fail the production test👉 Why vibe-coded prototypes are a liability in regulated markets👉 How real VCs use software as a behavioral signal👉 And why Revere’s CTO has the final say on who gets funded⸻🧠 What You’ll Learn in This Episode:• Why AI-generated code is failing real-world production tests• How clinical venture capital teams assess code quality and cultural alignment• Why behavioral due diligence matters more than resumes• How Roger Penrose’s Gödel argument debunks the myth of AI consciousness• Why Yoshua Bengio says agency + deception are the next wave of AI risk• What it takes to govern AI-first orgs beyond checklists and demos⸻🎙️ Key Quote from Jeremy Krell:“AI today writes code like a high school student. Useful as an assistant. Dangerous as an engineer.”⸻🧠 Why This Matters — Right NowAI-generated prototypes are flooding every industry.Most founders pitch speed—but ignore code quality, user impact, and long-term viability.And boards are still flying blind, unaware of the liabilities shipped to production.That’s why real due diligence must evolve—from checking resumes to assessing behavior, craftsmanship, and code.Because in healthcare and AI, the margin for error is gone.Revere’s model isn’t just about capital. It’s about care.⸻🛠️ Ready to See How You Compare?🎯 Want to benchmark your tech and software due diligence?👉 Start your free assessment⸻✅ Subscribe to the 🎥 YouTube Channel!💬 Comment: Is your software ready for investor-grade production?🪧 Subscribe to the LinkedIn Newsletter to stay up to date with our deep dives!⸻📖 Chapters & Timestamps00:00 – Intro01:00 – From dentist to VC: Jeremy’s unique edge02:46 – What Revere Partner is investing in07:23 – Why 40% of the portfolio is software14:59 – How to measure quality of: care & software21:49 – Due diligence beyond decks in the AI-era: what Revere really looks at26:18 – AI vibe coding is knocking at your door.
