How things actually get built — companies, restaurants, labs, careers, and side projects — without the highlight reel gloss. Unscripted conversations with people in the middle of it.
How things actually get built — unscripted, without the highlight reel.
Each episode is an unscripted conversation with founders, operators, educators, scientists, and restaurateurs. We talk through the doubts, trade-offs, and decisions that never make it into funding announcements. No scripts, no manufactured drama, no five hacks.
Hosted by Arjun Thomas — Founder & Venture Strategist at ArcShift Ventures. 18+ years across startups, innovation programs, and 11+ markets in APAC.
Building Real is me sitting down with people in the middle of building something, and asking "tell me more" until we get to the good part.
Guests tell me it feels less like an interview and more like coffee. If that sounds like you (or someone you know), I'd love to hear the story.
