Cherry Ventures founding partner Filip Felician Dames recently weighed in on the "founder mode" debate in a chat with Hasan Chowdhury at Business Insider TL;DR 🍒While nobody may ever be quite as dedicated as a founder, scaling up doesn't necessarily mean companies and founders must switch to manager mode. 🍒Instead as companies grow they must run things with "founder DNA" and ensure the full organisation works with the same clear "values" in mind.

In the race to dominate the AI space, not all bots are created equal 🤖 Jasper Masemann and Lutz Finger explore the dichotomy between functional and entertainment bots, emphasizing that while functional bots serve practical purposes, entertainment bots face greater challenges in maintaining user engagement over time. Here’s what they’ve learned: 🍒 Developing AI need to go beyond mere replication of human interaction to create genuinely meaningful and context-aware experiences. 🍒 The future success of AI bots hinges on their ability to deliver deeply personalized, authentic experiences. 🍒 The true potential of bots will likely be realized when they can operate seamlessly across different platforms and applications, enhancing both workflow and entertainment experiences.

Is the AI market racing towards a bubble burst? No. But there is a shift from speculative investment in AI infrastructure to a more measured approach that prioritizes practical, revenue-generating uses of AI. This is how our very own Jasper Masemann and Lutz Finger would navigate through this shift: 🍒 Further investments in building AI infrastructure is less likely to yield significant value. 🍒 The next investments should be directed toward practical AI applications that have a demonstrable business case and a clear path to profitability. 🍒 Founders need to embrace the concept of AI-native workflows, which integrate AI into the core business processes to enhance efficiency and decision-making. While the current hype has led to market correction, the long-term potential of AI remains substantial.
