Consistent growth rate is the clearest signal you're not experiencing AI risk. If your growth decelerates after an AI launch, investors notice immediately.
Native AI isn't about slapping ChatGPT into your product. If you removed the LLM and your business still works, you're AI-adjacent. True native AI means the model is the business. Everything else is a feature.
Using @WisprFlow so much that my typing speed has genuinely declined. Never thought I'd notice how slow my fingers are, but once you go voice-first, keyboard feels like dial-up.
Missing your revenue target isn't what breaks investor trust. Keeping the same cost structure after you've missed it is. @JimFerryVC : founders who manage the full P&L — not just the top line — are the ones who maintain credibility when things get hard. No surprises. No excuses. Just clear-eyed management. youtube.com/shorts/pu-78V7…
Everyone's building on the assumption that inference stays cheap. When frontier model investors stop subsidizing losses and demand profitability, the math changes fast. Most businesses haven't stress-tested for that.
Large companies are moving slower on AI because compliance slows everything down. A 50-person startup experimenting with preview tools will lap a Fortune 500 company by next year. Bureaucracy is the tax on scale.
Billy Beane is joining Volition Capital's 2026 Leadership Summit as a keynote speaker. A former MLB player and legendary executive, Billy revolutionized baseball through data-driven decision-making. We're excited to welcome him to discuss leadership and change management.
A competitor ships AI-native workflows in Q1. You ship in Q3. You're not 6 months behind—you're years behind. Compounding advantage starts day one.
Series A and B founders think fundraising is a core skill. It's not. Management, judgment, and execution are. Great operators often make mediocre fundraisers.
Thrilled to partner with Keynes!
Big news: we've made a $40M minority investment in Keynes — the leading performance advertising platform for Connected TV. CTV is evolving from a brand channel into a measurable performance medium. Keynes is the platform making that shift real for advertisers. Full
Wait, nobody is actually buying things in ChatGPT? SHOCKING :) Big advantage Google -> OpenAI is scaling back shopping directly inside ChatGPT via Instant Checkout by having checkouts instead take place in the specific apps that plug into ChatGPT "OpenAI staff had realized that while ChatGPT users were researching products to buy in the chatbot, they weren’t using the chatbot to actually help them make purchases, one person familiar with the project said." "The change means that instead of purchasing directly from a product listing, a shopper will either need to pay through a retailer’s app or be redirected to the retailer’s own site." “Instant Checkout is moving to Apps, where purchases can happen more seamlessly. We appreciate our partners for learning with us and look forward to sharing more as we continue building in this area,” the spokesperson said." theinformation.com/articles/opena…
Feb 2025: ChatGPT held 90% of the US business market. Feb 2026: Claude share has surged to ~70%. Absolutely insane growth of Anthropic. Their bet on coding and agents clearly paid off.
When is the last time you heard someone mention Web 3.0?
Very excited about Levanta's announcement today of platform support of Shopify. That means brands can have a single world-class affiliate platform that services their D2C website, Amazon and Wal-Mart. Exciting stuff - congrats to the Levanta team!
I’ve seen analysts skip learning Excel shortcuts to move faster in month one. They may win early, but those who slow down to master the skills quickly lap them and unlock time for higher-value work. AI is the same, but the gap will be 10x+. Slow down now to learn it. The ones who do won’t just lap peers, they’ll replace them.
6 months ago my AI platform usage was primarily Open AI. Today my usage is Claude for business use cases and Gemini for consumer search. OpenAI has fallen behind.
Great businesses aren’t built on numbers alone - they’re built by people who know how to use them. Listen to @JimFerryVC share his take on people, strategy, trust, and AI on The Real Math of Business: youtube.com/watch?v=FSxMGA…
3. The Dunning-Kruger Effect: Incompetence blinds you to your own incompetence. People with low ability often overestimate their competence, while experts often underestimate theirs. True wisdom is knowing what you do not know.
why is it always “how much ARR?” and never “how ARR you?”
Great quote from @btfaw today: "If you have an audience, you’re a publisher." Financial institutions, commerce brands, and marketplaces are now media businesses, whether they realize it or not.
