Jason Droege on Lenny’s Podcast

Jason Droege, CEO of Scale AI (formerly co-founder with Travis Kalanick and head of Uber Eats), discusses how the data-labeling industry has shifted from generalist labor to expert PhD contributors as AI models advance, and explains the Meta investment's structure. He shares lessons on entrepreneurship, including finding a unique insight, pricing with gross margins in mind, and building teams around trust rather than pure experience.
