💡 Buy vs. Build: The Tech Dilemma Every Founder Faces In my latest episode with Phillip McGlade, the CEO of Thérapie Clinic & Thérapie Fertility, we dove into a lesson every entrepreneur needs to hear: Phillip once decided to build a custom tech system for his business. The result? It didn’t work. His takeaway? 👉 Sometimes, it’s better (and cheaper) to buy proven solutions than to reinvent the wheel. "Stick to your zone of genius. Focus on what you do best and let the experts handle the rest." This one decision can save you time, money, and a whole lot of headaches. 🎧 Hear Phillip’s full story and learn why he now chooses to buy tech, not build - linked in comments below. #Founders #Entrepreneurship #TechStrategy #LessonsLearned

🚀 Alt Capital Launches Generate: An Accelerator for Enterprise AI Startups 🤖 💡 Alt Capital, led by Jack Altman, is stepping into the accelerator arena with Generate, a program tailored for business software startups specializing in artificial intelligence. Backed by a team of industry experts, including Jack's brother, Sam Altman of OpenAI, and investor Elad Gil, Generate aims to support 10 to 15 startups at a time in San Francisco. 🔎 The accelerator will focus on founders developing software applications with generative AI features, fostering a peer network of startups navigating the AI landscape together. One standout benefit for participants is access to Microsoft's AI computing infrastructure, including GPU clusters and $350,000 in Azure credits, facilitating advanced AI model training and deployment. 🤝 Generate's partnership with Microsoft aligns with the tech giant's initiative to empower startups with GPU access, reflecting a growing trend of collaboration between venture firms and industry leaders to fuel innovation. Annie Pearl, Corporate Vice President of Growth and Ecosystems at Microsoft, underscores the high demand for GPU resources among startups, highlighting the program's success since its launch. 💰 In addition to technical resources, Generate offers $250,000 investments in each startup, positioning Alt Capital as a strategic partner for companies in their early growth stages. Unlike traditional accelerators, Generate targets slightly more mature startups that have already secured up to $10 million in funding through seed and Series A rounds, complementing existing programs like Y Combinator. 📝Generate's two-month program will provide startups with invaluable support in customer acquisition, talent recruitment, fundraising, and mentorship from seasoned advisors. With its inaugural batch set to kick off in late May, Generate aims to catalyze the growth of enterprise AI startups, leveraging Alt Capital's expertise and network in the industry. 🎌 Launching accelerators has become a prevalent strategy among venture firms, offering a pathway to deepen connections with founders and identify promising investment opportunities. 🕯 As Alt Capital expands its footprint in the startup ecosystem, Generate emerges as a beacon of support for founders driving innovation at the intersection of AI and enterprise software.

Movac KiwiNet Deep Tech is difficult because you do not comprehend 95% of the universe using the Standard Model of Particle physics. Either learn that measurement is flawed due to human bias or experience and unbiased state through transcendence experiences corresponding to Christ consciousness. The physics of life is based on LENR and not the Standard Model of Particle physics. Unfortunately, scientific research has been captured by the materialism perspective. This is mutually exclusive to the light observed in consciousness. Physics of life.
