In The Blink of AI with Georgie Healy

• Betting on Slope: Seed Investing, AI Moats, and Founder Psychology with Uncork’s Amy Saper

  Episode SummaryAmy Saper sits at the intersection of Silicon Valley’s AI boom, early-stage company building, and deep operator experience. Now a General Partner at Uncork Capital in San Francisco, she cut her teeth at Twitter, Uber, and Stripe before becoming one of the most sought-after seed investors backing the next generation of AI infrastructure and applications.In this episode of In The Blink of AI, Georgie sits down with Amy for a wide-ranging conversation on how AI is rewriting early-stage investing, what real moats look like in an era of fast-moving models, and why she evaluates founders on slope, not pedigree.Amy breaks down how she invests in AI-enabled apps and infra, why Gamma’s “overnight success” actually took five years, how non-technical investors can still win deeply technical deals, and what founders get wrong about market size. She also shares candid advice about hiring top AI talent (hint: bring your walking shoes), how to stand out as a seed-stage company, and why she’s bullish on cities and policies that embrace innovation.This is an energising, thoughtful, and highly tactical episode for anyone building or backing AI in 2025.In the Blink of AI is made possible by our wonderful partners StripeFor early-stage, venture-backed founders – Stripe Startups is where to start.

• GitHub’s VP on the New Era of No-Code + AI

  Episode SummaryAI is lowering the barrier to software development faster than anyone expected, and GitHub’s APAC VP Sharryn Napier has a front row seat. In this conversation, she shares how she built a personal to-do list app in under an hour with GitHub Copilot and Spark, despite not writing code herself. Georgie and Sharryn explore why millions of new developers are joining the platform, how 80 percent of new signups use Copilot within their first week, and what the explosion of no-code experimentation means for both beginners and seasoned engineers.They also unpack the chaos and opportunity of the multi-agent era, where GitHub’s new Agent HQ aims to keep developers productive, secure, and in control.

• Is AI Failing Women? A Reality Check with Dr Elise Stephenson

At the eSafety Summit in Canberra, Georgie sits down with award-winning researcher and gender equality expert Dr Elise Stephenson for a live conversation on the uncomfortable truth behind AI’s gender problem.Only 22% of the global AI workforce is women.Only 2% of Australian startup funding goes to female founders.And when generating images of British women, some AI models label them as models or prostitutes 30% of the time.In this episode of In The Blink of AI, Georgie and Elise dig into how bias creeps into AI systems, who’s responsible, and what needs to change, from data collection to funding incentives to the way we teach young people about online safety.
