      <title>CxC Ep29: The Dilemma of AI Pricing - with Maciej Kraus (Movens Capital)</title>
      <description>This week on Code x Connor, we’re joined by Maciej Kraus, partner at Movens Capital and Stanford guest lecturer, to discuss current AI pricing models, their limitations, and what comes next.

Maciej is a PhD, VC partner, and pricing expert with 20+ years in strategy, sales, and monetization. He advises founders on value capture, guest lectures at Stanford Graduate School of Business, and co-authored Pricing Decoded. He blends data, psychology, and practical frameworks to turn pricing into a growth engine for tech and SaaS.

In this episode, we discuss:

→ Why AI challenges the traditional SaaS model (cheap to build, expensive to run)→ The “Token AI” consumption model and its limitations

→ The potential threat of economic collapse→ Business models that will actually work in the future→ How subsidies and capital burn are distorting the market→ Output vs. outcome-based pricing

→ Hybrid pricing models and the future of AI pricing

      <title>CxC Ep28: AI &amp; Data That Work at Enterprise Scale - with Jarek Sobanski (Swiss Re)</title>
      <description>This week on Code x Connor, we’re joined by Jarek Sobanski of Swiss Re to discuss managing complexity at scale, how Foundry enables a data-connected enterprise, and where AI is actually driving business impact.

Jarek leads Data Platforms Architecture at Swiss Re—a Global Fortune 500 company and the world’s largest reinsurer—guiding a team that designs and scales enterprise data and AI ecosystems. With expertise in AI, analytics, distributed computing, and four years working hands-on with Palantir Foundry and AIP, he focuses on turning complex data landscapes into practical business solutions.

In this episode, we discuss:

→ Swiss Re’s journey scaling Foundry across thousands of users and hundreds of applications→ Why data governance is essential for scaling enterprise AI platforms→ How business teams can build their own apps and AI workflows→ The role of IT centers of excellence and “tiger teams” in early platform adoption→ Why most enterprise AI value comes from unstructured data like contracts and claims→ The shift from traditional NLP programs to modern large language models→ How organizations should rethink processes in an AI-enabled world→ The limitations of current AI systems—and why human expertise still matters

      <title>CxC Ep22: AI Shifted Minds, New Business Models Will Move Markets</title>
      <description>CodeStrap's "Code and Connor" Episode 22 features our friend Robert Fidler, General Manager of Valinor Streamline. Prior to joining Valinor, Rob spent five years as a Forward Deployed Engineer at Palantir Technologies, working on projects with a variety of civilian agencies such as the FDA. He also spent 2 years as a Software Engineer at Chapter building their core technology layer.

Our 22nd episode focuses on Valinor, unpacking "a constellation of mission-aligned products", and the new business models that are the true disruptive forces moving economies. We also discuss the problem with government procurement around national security,  how Valinor unlocks innovation at the product level (e.g., Streamline), the advantages from strategic partnerships with Palantir Technologies, Anduril Industries, Helsing, unpacking Streamline and demoing the product, the importance of public-facing apps and structured writeback even in disconnected, offline environments, Ontology-native data capture, syncs, and application examples across Real Estate, Military, Manufacturing, Mining and more.

      <title>CxC Ep19: Can AI Save Government Procurement From Itself?</title>
      <description>CodeStrap's "Code and Connor" Episode 19 features our friend August Chen, Co-Founder and CEO of Hazel. Hazel is an AI-powered procurement platform that helps federal, state, and local partners compress procurement cycles from months to minutes and save millions on what they purchase. Hazel launched out of Y Combinator in 2024 and is backed by the investors behind Palantir and Anduril. Before founding Hazel, August led mission-critical deployments at Palantir, including working with Connor and Dorian at their former employer.

Our 19th episode examines government inefficiency through the lens of procurement, and why competitive pricing often breaks down in the public sector. We explore emerging tech approaches for fixing these gaps, including large-scale processing of unstructured data, LLM-driven solutions, and the broader willingness—or cultural resistance—within government to adopt new capabilities. The conversation also covers the expanding startup ecosystem focused on public-sector innovation, the rise of AI and data-center infrastructure, and why some tech CEOs are now (laughably) urging the government to help underwrite AI investment.

Before founding Hazel, August led mission-critical deployments at Palantir, including working with Connor and Dorian at their former employer.

Our 19th episode examines government inefficiency through the lens of procurement, and why competitive pricing often breaks down in the public sector. We explore emerging tech approaches for fixing these gaps, including large-scale processing of unstructured data, LLM-driven solutions, and the broader willingness—or cultural resistance—within government to adopt new capabilities. The conversation also covers the expanding startup ecosystem focused on public-sector innovation, the rise of AI and data-center infrastructure, and why some tech CEOs are now (laughably) urging the government to help underwrite AI investment.

      <title> CxC Ep18: What Scaled Foundry Looks Like</title>
      <description>CodeStrap's "Code and Connor" Episode 18 features our friend Nicolas Renkamp. Nicolas Renkamp is the Global Head of Platform Product Portfolio at Merck KGaA, Darmstadt, Germany. One of the most important voices in the Palantir ecosystem, he was deeply involved in the development of Foundry DevTools, allowing us to interact with the Foundry APIs and develop transforms locally, and in 2025 he worked with Palantir to bring lightweight transforms to the next level and to everyone in platform.

He joined the company in 2019 and began working within the Palantir platform. He is also deeply involved with Merck’s deployment of AWS, Snowflake and Fivetran. 

On this episode we discuss the scaling Foundry and managing the complexity, the evolution of DevTools and enhancing DexEx in Foundry, Foundry’s branching and integration of lightweight transforms, open data formats and Palantir’s Multimodal Data Plane, interoperability and identity federation challenges, the importance of platform automation, AI and automation in Foundry and impact on business users, and unlocking value through Natural Language Interfaces

      <title>CxC Ep11: AI Bubble or AI Battlefield? The fight for asymmetric advantage</title>
      <description>CodeStrap's "Code and Connor" Episode 11 features our friend Pat Mack, Founder and CEO of PVM, Inc. After retiring from his position as a Naval Officer, Pat launched PVM in 2010 and for more than a decade, PVM has partnered with Palantir on government deployments across the public sector. On this episode we discuss the AI bubble, failed pilots and the structural issues plaguing enterprises from getting value from AI. We also unpack AI in the public sector and the West’s requirement to have an asymmetric advantage through AI, the promise/lie of AGI and Palantir’s integration capability being it’s competitive advantage.

      <title>Code X Connor Ep5: Evolution of Consulting in the Age of AI</title>
      <description>CodeStrap's "Code and Connor" Episode 5 is live! This episode features our friends Usman Sheikh and James O'Dowd, two business leaders with incredibly strong and accurate perspectives on the ongoing evolution of consulting.

Our fifth episode focuses on:

→ LegacyCo vs. NewCo - The markets will decide the timeline

→ Reinvention requires structural change, which may need to be drastic to escape organizational gravity

→ From headcount to compute - transitioning from staffing armies to services-as-software

→ Shift from effort to outcomes - incentivization is changing, reducing the hidden drag on innovation

→ The outcome of consulting will be workforce, not PowerPoints

→ Private equity’s investment in services and the culture, talent, and tech hurdles they face

→ Flight from Big Consulting is real

Be sure to follow us to get the latest information, and schedule a meeting with us through www.codestrap.com!

James O'Dowd is the Founder and Managing Partner of Patrick Morgan, a Talent Advisory firm focused on the Professional Services sector.

Usman Sheikh is the founder of High Output Ventures, a firm that builds and invests in remote-first companies, with a focus on tech-enabled professional services.
