In this episode of When David Met Goliath, host Narry Singh speaks with Omar Haroun, Founder and CEO of AI-driven legal startup Eudia, about what it really takes to disrupt one of the world’s most change-resistant professions. Omar explains why legal is not just ripe for automation but in urgent need of reinvention, how AI should be treated as the future of labour rather than software, and why pairing human judgment with AI is more powerful than either alone. Drawing on experience from building and selling his previous company, Omar lays out a bold vision for “augmented law”, where legal teams move from cost centres to strategic business partners.
When David Met Goliath brings together leaders from global incumbents and founders from fast-growing challengers operating in the same industries. Each miniseries pairs a Goliath and a David to explore how scale, structure and experience collide with speed, experimentation and innovation… and why the most meaningful progress happens when the two sides collaborate rather than compete.

Description

One of the biggest battles in the business world over the past few decades has been between established global companies versus relatively unknown startups. Think about Amazon taking on retailers, or Tesla taking on the automotive industry, or Revolut taking on established banks.
So what can these two very different species learn from each other? ‘When David Met Goliath’ pits startups alongside global giants, digging into how each plays the same game very differently.
In one episode, we sit down with a Goliath. A heavyweight leader from an established global giant. In the next, we bring on a David, a founder from a leading startup in the same space, same industry, same problems, but very different solutions, different playbooks, different styles, and often very different instincts.
The aim is simple: To show  that real breakthroughs come when startup hustle meets corporate muscle.
