🚀 Just back from #HLTH 2024 (sleep deprived), and as always, it was an incredible event! So much to process, but here are 3 Takeaways that founders and execs need to focus on: 1️⃣ Early-stage companies are under immense pressure to show results or risk becoming "zombie startups" (alive but unable to scale or raise further capital). With valuations leveling out, founders must focus on Business Fundamentals and deliver measurable value to stay alive and competitive. 2️⃣ Sustainability over growth is now the mantra. Many Series A/B companies that thrived on "growth at all costs" will struggle or fail, becoming acquisition targets for stronger, more efficient players. The shift to sustainable operations and liquidity is real and urgent. 3️⃣ AI isn't optional—it’s table stakes. Companies need to think beyond “AI as the product” and strategically leverage it to enhance operations, drive efficiency, and cut costs. The winners will be those that embed AI thoughtfully into their core business strategy. What were your takeaways? Please share in comments!

I am proud to be featured in Ibe Imo's The Harbus News Corporation piece, discussing how #AI can help expand venture funding for Black and diverse founders. With VC funding for Black-owned ventures down 71% in 2023, we need AI-driven innovations to break down bias and unlock untapped potential. But it’s not just about technology—we must ensure AI is built to promote equity and accountability. The goal is clear: use AI to open doors, drive better returns, and support founders solving the world’s toughest problems... not just the problems of a few. #AI #TrustedAI #AIforAll #VentureCapital #DiversityInTech #InclusiveInvestment #VCfunding #BlackFounders #TechForGood https://lnkd.in/gwzURpvH
Venture Funding for Black And Diverse Founders Is the Paradox Of Equilibrium

Our colleague Cyril Vančura will be a panelist at the TNW Conference tomorrow. Together with deep tech VCs Nicolas Autret (Walden Catalyst Ventures), Thomas Oehl (Vsquared Ventures), and Sander Verbrugge (Innovation Industries), he will discuss the State of European Deep Tech. Moderated by Victoria Slivkoff (Extreme Tech Challenge), the panel will address critical questions such as: 🔹Can Europe produce the next NVIDIA? 🔹What are the hurdles and opportunities for creating leading AI hubs in Europe? 🔹Why are historically risk-averse European LPs more open to backing deep tech ventures? 🔹Does the US offer a better environment for European deep tech companies in terms of funding, expansion, and exit strategies? Don't miss out on what promises to be an enlightening discussion. #TNW2024 #ExtremeTechChallenge #DeepTech #TNW #TNWconference
