Breakthrough AI Operators

business, management · EN

Breakthrough AI Operators is a podcast about how the best startup founders are reinventing how their companies work. Not AI hype. Not vendor pitches. Real operators who've rebuilt significant parts of their business around AI — and can talk honestly about what worked and what didn't. Hosted by Roland Siebelink and Doug Miller, co-founders of Midstage Accelerator (7 unicorns built between them, 100+ leadership teams scaled), each episode features a founder who's achieved a genuine step-change breakthrough in how their company operates. These aren't productivity wins or tool adoption stories — they're companies that are structurally different because of AI. If you're a founder at a 20–300 person company actively figuring out what AI means for your operating model and competitive position, this show gives you real stories from people in the field — not consultants theorizing from the sidelines.
