About this episode

What if your AI interviewers are pulling better answers than your human team, just because people aren't worried about being judged?

Filip Schouwenaars has been building in AI since 2013, back when it was neither cool nor easy. He was DataCamp's first hire, rose to VP of Engineering, then moved to ML research at VITO. In January 2026, he joined Conveo, a Y Combinator S24-backed AI research platform that lets companies run qualitative interviews 10 times faster than before. He's also one of us at Syndicate One.


Filip sat down with Robin Wauters to talk about what actually works (and what doesn't) when you bring AI into a startup moving at speed.

  • He breaks down why people give answers that are three times as long to an AI interviewer as they do to a human interviewer.
  • He shares what we learned at the S1 portfolio AI meetup about where Belgian companies really stand on adoption.
  • Filip says Belgium's biggest missed shot isn't the capital. It's deep tech that never makes it out of academia.
  • And he gives the most honest answer we've heard yet to the classic founder question: Would you ever start your own company?
  • Six weeks at Conveo. Filip hasn't written a single line of code. That's exactly how it should be.


Recorded following Conveo's $5.3M seed round.

Quick answers about how DevFound's AI matching, resumes, and referrals work.

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.

DevFound rewards active seekers. Keep your profile fresh, respond to match quality prompts, and enable alerts so you never miss a role. The AI prioritizes companies and teams that align with your feedback, accelerating both introductions and interview invites.

High-density tech hubs continue to host the deepest AI talent pools, yet distributed teams are catching up fast. Use DevFound filters to hone in on onsite, hybrid, or fully remote roles and watch openings expand across time zones.

DevFound aggregates thousands of remote AI openings and flags the nuances—core hours, async culture, and visa needs—up front. The Copilot also recommends how to position your distributed work experience so hiring managers know you can thrive on a remote team.
