What a quote❗“Central planning didn't work for Stalin or Mao, and it won't work for an entrepreneur either” 👇 So, what do you do instead? Take action. Planning is like trusting the lottery… For most people, it doesn’t work. Trust consistency. Take lots of chances, and make lots of individual, spur-of-the-moment decisions. Sometimes, the only way through complexity is blindness to it. Close your future-looking eyes and open the ones you have today. #startups #entrepreneurship #innovation #founders

📣 What’s happening in venture capital? Here are three trends we’re keeping an eye on: 👇 🤖 To the surprise of few, AI continues to evolve and emerge as a defining force in venture capital for 2024. 1. Whereas many early AI investments targeted a mass market, the rise of vertical AI models suggests we will see a new wave of tailored SaaS products continue to disrupt outdated workflows. 🧬 How much would you pay to live longer and with better quality? As biotech, AI, and medtech innovation accelerate, investors want in. 2. With the virtually incalculable value of productized longevity, coupled with rapid advances in our understanding of aging and research capabilities, investors are entering the market, and fast. 🛰️ As development times accelerate and with less available capital, investors are moving towards investing in solutions that address real problems. 3. When programming is becoming less and less of a competitive advantage, investors have begun shifting more capital into deep tech—sophisticated technologies solving significant pain points.
