Show description

This is our full interview with Andy Dunn recorded live on TBPN. We discuss his personal struggle with loneliness during the pandemic that sparked the idea for Pie, his vision of building an AI-powered operating system for your social life to get people off their phones and into real-world connections, and how he’s tackling the cold start problem city-by-city while trying to rebuild Chicago into a true tech ecosystem.
