It’s tricky to get robots to do things in environments they’ve never seen before. Typically, researchers need to train them on new data for every new place they encounter, which can become very time-consuming and expensive. Now, researchers have developed a series of AI models that teach robots to complete basic tasks in new surroundings without further training or fine-tuning.

The best companies are bought, not sold 💭 In an industry so focused on exits, it's easy for investors and founders to miss the true reason why companies get acquired: compound value creation. The graph below outlines the 10 greatest acquisitions of all time. 'Greatest' was judged by the absolute dollar return of these acquisitions. While there is a mix of strategic reasons why these acquisitions made sense for the acquirers, fundamentally, these businesses provided huge value to customers and users in areas that could create compound value creation for the acquirers.

Where do the most active accelerators invest? From 2020 to 2022, roughly 3 in 5 accelerator deals from YC (58%) and Techstars (63%) went to US-based companies vs. 41% for Plug and Play. A similar trend played out among big tech companies. At Amazon, 54% of its accelerator deals went to US-based startups from 2020 to 2022, and 22% went to Asia-based companies. This aligns with Amazon’s limited footprint in Asia, relative to North America. Microsoft’s accelerator activity reflects the opposite approach. Sixty-two percent of its deals went to Asia-based startups during that period, while just 11% went to US-based companies. Microsoft offers sizable programs outside of the US, including the Microsoft for Startups Middle East GrowthX Accelerator, launched in partnership with the Abu Dhabi Investment Office. While the US has historically attracted a significant amount of deals from the top 50 accelerator cohort, its dominance is waning. The country’s share of deals hit 32% in 2022, down 7 percentage points from 2020. At the same time, top accelerator deal share has grown in Asia, Africa, Latin America, and Europe. In 2022, Europe followed the US closely with 31% of accelerator deals from these investors.
