“The reason we see the largest deep-tech AI companies emerging in the U.S. is that they’ve already gone through earlier stages of startup development, building unicorns in areas like gaming, basic e-commerce, logistics, and more. At this stage, they’re able to focus on creating highly advanced deep-tech unicorns. In contrast, if a country is still in an earlier phase of development, the primary challenges are often around logistics or domestic travel. As a result, the unicorns being built tend to address these more fundamental infrastructure issues. While they may seem basic, they are essential building blocks for further growth.” - Jeremy Au, Host of BRAVE Southeast Asia Tech Podcast Watch, listen or read the full insight at https://lnkd.in/gBT7Hy3F #SoutheastAsiaStartups #VentureCapital #TechInnovation #DeepTech #AIUnicorns #EmergingMarkets #StartupEcosystem #GrowthCapital #FutureOfTech #BRAVEpodcast

This was one of the most insightful episodes I have conducted till date. I interviewed Bob van Luijt who built his first software company at the age of 15 and is the founder and CEO of Weaviate today - one of Forbes 50 AI startups! Weaviate provides the world’s most popular Vector database solutions with over 1 Mn+ downloads to date. If you’re looking for #PMF in the AI space - this podcast will be worth it as we addressed some key questions like: - How did he build one of the most promising AI startups in 2024. - How he found the right product market fit. - What is Retrieval Augmented Generation (RAG), hybrid search and generative feedback loop. - Why is it important to start with open source and the power of the open source community. - How does one sell to enterprises and scale in the space. Would love to know if you found value from this episode. Link in the comments below.

We marvel at how AI made creating digital experiences effortless, but how about physical ones? I bet 5 years ago, it’s impossible to use a decent mic to record a podcast in an open work bar with a lot of background noise. Now, everywhere is a quiet studio thanks to AI and technologies like Descript Nomono ElevenLabs, and it’s only getting better. Oh and thanks to even better people like Mesh Oslo who make it possible to experiment with these experiences. If you’re in the Oslo area, you can just walk into Mesh Youngstorget, and you may just be onto another fantastic episode of Startup Stories Norway. #startups #norway #AI #SSN
