AI
Artificial intelligence — the models, the products and the hype.
AI is the loudest story in tech and the easiest to get wrong — both the hype and the dismissal. The useful question for founders isn't whether it matters, but where it creates a durable advantage versus a feature everyone will have by next quarter.
Founders and investors building in and around AI cut through it: what's real, what's a wrapper, where the moats are, and how to build a company rather than a demo.
“You are in a sector where you can't afford to be cautious about growth.”
