Anthropic Co-Founder and Chief Science Officer Jared Kaplan joined TechCrunch Senior Reporter Max Zeff at our Sessions: AI event to talk about the hottest topic within the AI community right now: agents. In Kaplan’s view, chatbots are just the start, and agents will be the next frontier in expanding what AI can be capable of accomplishing.

Kaplan also addressed a couple recent flashpoints with Anthropic, including the company rescinding some model access to the startup Windsurf, reportedly set to be acquired by OpenAI, as well as the company’s stance against some of the Trump admin’s recent AI policies.

    Skip. Not much information about agents for agentic workflows. The interviewer seemed a lot more interested in the business machinations of how Anthropic works or doesn’t work with competitors and how they’ll deal with their competitors and government than anything to do with AI agents in the future.

This week’s guest is Ayal Yogev, co-founder and CEO of Anjuna Security, who has experienced both sides of the startup journey: scaling quickly during the boom years and then making the incredibly difficult decision to lay off a significant portion of his team when the market shifted.

From growing to 75 employees to scaling back and rebuilding, Yogev learned firsthand that the hardest part of leadership isn’t hiring fast, it’s making tough decisions with care, transparency, and integrity.

In this episode, Isabelle Johannessen and Yogev unpack what it really means to lead through layoffs with compassion and how founders can support their teams even in the most challenging moments. They also explore the lessons learned from scaling too quickly and how to build a more resilient company the second time around.
