Totally blew it up

In this episode of High Agency, we sit down with Josh Haas, Co-founder and Co-CEO of Bubble, the no-code platform that’s quietly powering a new generation of builders. Josh takes us from philosophy lectures to platform engineering, sharing how he bootstrapped Bubble from a scrappy prototype into a robust foundation for over six million apps and billions in transactions. Along the way, we dig into what happens when AI-fueled “vibe coding” meets the real-world demands of scalability, security, and sustainability. We explore how Bubble is becoming the serious alternative in a landscape flooded with spaghetti-code startups, and why Josh believes the future belongs to founders who start with product, not pitch decks.

Finding your voice

In this episode of High Agency, we’re live from Web Summit with Mohan Gulati, Co-founder and CEO of Thinkrr.AI, a startup transforming how businesses use voice AI to enhance customer experiences.

Testing the impossible

In this episode of High Agency, we’re live from Web Summit with Will Wilson, CEO of Antithesis. Will shares the origin story behind building a platform that tests the “impossible”, from selling FoundationDB to Apple, to assembling a stealth-mode engineering team in DC that’s redefining how we build and trust software. We discuss how Antithesis creates testing environments that act like an oracle for your code, catching unknown bugs before they surface. Will talks about what it really takes to build deep tech, why they stayed in stealth for five years, and what happens when a team truly cares about the work and each other. If you’ve ever written code and wondered, “Is this really going to work?”, this episode will shift your thinking on what’s possible.

Ride or die, cofounders for life

In this episode of High Agency, we sit down with serial entrepreneur, author, and startup strategist Tanis Jorge to explore what truly makes (or breaks) cofounder relationships. Tanis has cofounded four tech startups with the same business partner, including the billion-dollar identity verification company Trulioo. But her story isn’t just about exits and scaling; it’s about navigating conflict, balancing family with ambition, and learning that successful partnerships aren’t about luck, they’re built on intention, trust, and open communication.
