“I don't think you need to be cutting edge. I don't think you need to do flying drones, or building robotics, or using AI or web3... "People just want a mortgage. Why can't we figure out better ways or easier ways to offer a mortgage?” Last time on DiffuseTap, Ali Jamal, Founding Partner at First Check Ventures, talked to us about the number one mistake US funds make when looking for promising LatAm startups, why Silicon Valley companies are living in a bubble, and why cutting edge technologies like robotics and AI are not the focus in LatAm.

💼 Last Saturday, I had the privilege of attending the esteemed London Venture Capital Network Summit. The event proved to be an invaluable opportunity to gain insights into the latest trends and developments shaping the industry. 🚀 💡 While all the talks and the startup pitch competition were highly informative and inspirational, the true highlight was the Gen AI Debate. The distinguished panel, comprising Thelma Onyeka from Akama Fund, Nic Rawhani from Vula, David Calderwood from RED Semiconductor, and Jonny Rose from The Story Club Ltd., provided a wealth of knowledge and thought-provoking perspectives on the current state and future trajectory of Gen AI. Furthermore, they engaged in a compelling discourse surrounding the role of intellectual property (IP) in protecting solutions in today's rapidly evolving technological landscape. 🔐 📹 One of the standout moments was Nic Rawhani's eloquent and lucid explanation of how we have arrived at the precipice of Gen AI. I have taken the liberty of attaching the video clip, as I believe it will resonate with many of you. 🤝 At BeeReal, we pride ourselves on staying ahead of the curve, continuously enhancing our expertise to better serve our esteemed clientele. As the Venture Capital ecosystem navigates the complexities and embraces the opportunities presented by disruptive technologies like Gen AI, we stand ready to support them in evolving into the next generation of sustainable internal solutions. #VentureCapital #DigitalTransformation #BeeReal #GenAI #Innovation #TechTrends

🚀 New Thematic Analyst Note from the PitchBook Quantitative Research Team We've revisited the specialist vs. generalist debate in VC, adding a fresh perspective by analyzing company domains using AI-powered insights. Here are the key takeaways: • 💡 VC-backed companies with lead investors who have high domain expertise are 1.2x more likely to exit successfully via IPO or acquisition. • 🏥 Healthtech & pharma benefit the most from domain expertise, while AI/ML & fintech show less impact. • 💼 No major difference in MOICs between high- and low-expertise investors for successful deals, but domain experts boost exit success rates. • 📊 GPs with specialized strategies, especially in healthtech and pharma, can leverage this research to enhance fundraising. #VC #DomainExpertise #HealthTech #AI #Fintech #Pharma #InvestmentSuccess #Research #QuantitativeAnalysis
