Wharton Tech Club’s Post

The EUVC set of Podcasts is worth a attentive listening. Beyond Venture Capital, you will also listen to amazing people with a varied background, with a particular focus (in my case anyway) from those with a strong technology or #DeepTech background. The episode I share here today is another one such example. 🙂 👍 Firm of The Year Finalist: Xavier Lazarus of Elaia Partners on the rise of AI in venture capital and future trends @Elaia Partners https://lnkd.in/dxiM_5KP

In the latest episode of Equity, several significant developments in the tech and startup world are highlighted. xAI has successfully raised a substantial $6 billion in their Series B funding round, marking a significant milestone for the company. This fundraise underscores the growing interest and investment in artificial intelligence ventures. On a less positive note, fintech company Synapse has filed for bankruptcy. This development raises questions about the sustainability and financial health of some fintech startups in the current economic climate. Additionally, the episode delves into a novel strategy to combat misinformation called "pre-bunking." This proactive approach is being considered by election officials and researchers as a way to address false information before it spreads. Equity continues to provide in-depth analysis and insights into the business of startups, with new episodes released every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday at 7 a.m. PT. #Startups #TechNews #AI #Fintech #Misinformation #EquityPodcast ---------------------- Learn more here: https://lnkd.in/e7zCJpcz

As Steve mentions, we spoke about the importance of storytelling and connecting with end users with your story. #podcast #biotech #storytelling.

Will we all ultimately become Product Managers instructing our AI coworkers? Garry Tan, CEO of Y Combinator thinks so: "With the new developments in o1 and Codegen, I actually think it’ll be more important that you’re able to speak to virtual developers and instruct them on exactly what you want and all the different use cases..." Insightful quote from a phenomenal MFM podcast that also includes insights on how to spot extreme winners (and some stories of missing them), how to have agency, and the future of startups.

Social radar is an invaluable skill in the world of startups. 🧭 It’s the ability to read people, understand team dynamics, and identify the intangible qualities that make great founders. Lenny Rachitsky spoke with Jessica Livingston, co-founder of Y Combinator, about these social cues in a recent podcast. 🎙️ Why is this important? Because a business’s success often hinges not just on the idea but on the people behind it. Founders who are resilient, committed, and work well together are more likely to navigate the challenges of building a company. 💡👥 Developing your own social radar can be a game-changer: • 👀 Pay attention to how people interact. • 💪 Notice their level of commitment. • 🗣️ Observe their response to feedback. These insights can help you build a strong, cohesive team and set your startup on the path to success. 🚀 For more on this topic, check out Jessica Livingston's insightful conversation on Lenny's podcast: https://lnkd.in/gnvzTR9w
