Episode #68: Asaf Yanai Co-founder and CEO of Alison.ai

In this episode, we speak with Asaf Yanai, a visionary entrepreneur and the Co-founder & CEO of Alison.ai. 

With a track record of turning ideas into reality, Asaf has left a lasting mark on the tech landscape, with Alison.ai being the third company Asaf founded after successfully selling two tech startups he’s built in previous years.

We discuss:

  • Managing a startup during a crisis
  • Analyzing video content for fake news and intelligence
  • Growing up as the son of two entrepreneurs and co-founders
  • Entrepreneurship, family, and motivation
  • Learning from mistakes, and starting a business
  • Self-management, and post-mortem analysis
  • Personal growth
  • And much more!

Enjoy your listen

Having grown up watching both of his parents build and run their own companies, Asaf came to entrepreneurship early, absorbing lessons about risk, resilience, and running a business long before he founded one himself. That upbringing shows up throughout the conversation, from how he thinks about crisis management to why he treats every setback as a post-mortem worth studying rather than a failure worth hiding. It’s also part of why Alison.ai’s video-analysis technology, built to flag fake news and intelligence signals in footage, reflects a founder who has spent his whole life thinking about what’s true and what’s staged.

It’s a wide-ranging conversation about what it takes to keep building after two exits, how Alison.ai uses AI to analyze video content for fake news and intelligence, and what Asaf has learned about crisis management, mistakes, and self-management along the way, shaped in part by growing up as the son of two entrepreneurs and co-founders himself.
