About this episode

Today's guest is Tal Elyashiv, Co-founder and Managing Partner at SPiCE VC. Tal joins Emerj's Nick Gertsch to explore how tokenization is moving from pilot programs into institutional-scale deployment — and what that means for settlement infrastructure, governance, and enterprise AI strategy in regulated financial systems. They discuss the real signals of production readiness, where AI is generating measurable ROI today (from compliance monitoring to customer operations), and why identity verification and human-in-the-loop controls are becoming mission-critical as AI-driven fraud accelerates.

DevFound's AI Copilot ingests your profile, goals, and live job data to deliver curated matches in seconds. Every match includes a resume variant, suggested referrals, and interview prep so you can act immediately. The more feedback you provide, the sharper the Copilot becomes.

AI-led job searches shrink the hours spent sifting through boards and formatting resumes. DevFound pairs automation with your personal outreach, so you reserve energy for interviews and negotiation. Traditional networking still matters, but AI gives you a lift before you even send a message.

Modern AI roles expect comfort with production-grade code, data fluency, and practical ML tooling. The strongest candidates pair deep technical chops with storytelling—translating model impact to product, GTM, and exec partners. Continuous learning keeps you ahead as stacks evolve.
