About this episode

The weekly filter on tech, AI and the future of work.

Every week, Nova's founders and members cut through the noise so you can stay on top of what matters in tech, AI and the future of work, before it reaches your feed. No scripts, no filters: just real insight from the people shaping their sectors.

In Episode 15, Nova's co-founders Ramón and Andrea sit down with Toni Rosinol, co-founder of StackAI, for a conversation about building a company over 3 years and the journey to its acquisition by Asana.

Topics covered: how StackAI went from a horizontal, viral no-code platform to a focused enterprise play for regulated industries like finance. Why distribution became a key factor in StackAI's next phase of growth, and why Asana stood out: not just for its reach, but for its shared vision for the future of enterprise AI.

Why Toni and his co-founder were thoughtful about finding the right long-term partner, and how that changed the negotiation. The one condition they set before agreeing to the deal: keep the team, the product and the culture intact. Why the AI talent bar just moved from "one great engineer replaces 10 average ones" to "one great engineer replaces 100." Toni's blunt read on where the real AI moat is heading (hint: not the model). Apple's new lawsuit against OpenAI over trade secrets and poached staff. GPT-5.6's launch and what it means for pricing pressure across the industry. And Toni's answer to the question every founder in Spain gets asked: build in Europe, or leave?
