On today's episode, Larry welcomes expert Luke Butler and guest Payman Samadi. Luke is the Executive Director of Startup Engagement at Comcast NBCUniversal and Head of Lift Lab Accelerator. His program is designed to help startup companies connect with major enterprises looking to partner.

Through the accelerator program, Luke connected with Payman, the CEO of Eino, an AI-powered connectivity planning platform he developed at The Runway Startup Postdoc Program at the Jacobs Technion-Cornell Institute.

Larry, Luke, and Payman discuss what key factors and characteristics Luke looks for in startups, such as evaluating employee strengths and providing tips on customizing pitches to investors and the importance of partnerships.
