The Ones To Watch In Tech: Bloomberg Technology These aren’t the biggest names in tech, but they’re doing big things. They’re running Amazon.com Inc.’s logistics operations (Udit Madan) and building consumer-product conglomerates for the e-commerce age (Tushar Ahluwalia). They’re making artificial intelligence startups that do things that didn’t seem possible in the recent past (Demi Guo) and finding and funding the entrepreneurs and startups that you’ll be hearing from in the future (Dave Fontenot, Emily Liu and Luciana Lixandru). It’s impossible to predict what the next big thing will be, but chances are that people on this list will be involved. https://lnkd.in/dZXbMFxk #techology #ai #startups #entrepreneurs #ecommerce #fintech

A year ago I partnered with Juan Manuel Barrero, Lucas Imai and Paula Bertone to help them bring Lazo's bold vision of creating the first platform that combines human experts and AI to assist founders to more effectively scale their startup operations and therefore increase their chances of success. Today, I’m thrilled to share that Lazo has been selected to compete in TechCrunch’s Startup Battlefield at Disrupt 2024. Out of thousands of applicants, we’re among the top global 200 startups that will be showcased in Silicon Valley's top startup event, a testament to the innovation and grit we've poured into our journey from Latin America to the US and beyond. This milestone comes in this one-year anniversary at my role as Co-founder and COO of Lazo, where I focused on transforming Lazo into a product-led company using knowledge graphs and the latest in Generative AI innovations. From the start, Lazo aimed to simplify the startup journey with our unique approach, Augmented Ops™—AI-powered tools that guide founders through every step, from incorporation, to fundraising to scaling their operations. Today, with having served thousands of customers in over 15 countries and recognition at TechCrunch Disrupt, it’s clear our vision is resonating. This “Perfect Storm” didn’t happen by chance. It’s the result of our team’s dedication and relentless pursuit of innovation. As we look forward to Disrupt and beyond, I couldn’t be more excited about what’s next for Lazo. To every founder out there, my advice is simple: trust your vision, believe in your team, and stay the course. The storms we face often pave the way for the breakthroughs we never imagined.  You can read more about my thoughts on this here https://lnkd.in/e3gw5mbh Here's to the journey ahead! #TechCrunchDisrupt2024 #StartupBattlefield

The founders of fast-growing European startups often get asked if they plan to relocate their headquarters to the US to tap into deeper pools of capital and talent.  Alex Kendall, the CEO of autonomous driving startup Wayve, is no exception. Last month, his London-headquartered startup raised $1bn from investors including SoftBank, NVIDIA and Microsoft (LinkedIn's parent company). Since then, several journalists have asked him if he's going to move the company to Silicon Valley, or somewhere else. "Our headquarters is of course remaining and staying in London," Kendall said at London Tech Week on Monday. "I love the environment here," he added. "The thing that's special about London for me is that it's a tech superpower but it's not tech dominated. It's diverse, it's culturally rich. Almost a third of my company, including me, are here on a visa." Wayve currently has offices in London, Silicon Valley and Vancouver, and Kendall said it's likely to expand further in order to support the automotive partnerships the company has. "That footprint needs to be global to address the world," said Kendall, who moved from New Zealand to complete a PhD at the University of Cambridge prior to setting up Wayve. Elsewhere, AI lab DeepMind (now owned by Google) is another UK tech startup that chose not to relocate to Silicon Valley, despite pressure from early investors like PayPal billionaire Peter Thiel. In France, Mistral AI has kept its HQ in Paris after raising large sums.  On the other hand, four French unicorns – Dataiku, Algolia, Kyriba and Aircall – shifted their HQs to the US, according to Sifted analysis. Algolia, a B2B software company, moved its main base to San Francisco in 2014 to participate in the Y Combinator acceleration programme. Co-founder and CTO Julien Lemoine told Sifted it helped his company raise money at better terms and attract more customers. John Collison, the Irish born co-founder of Stripe, told LinkedIn News last month that top tech startups can raise money from investors regardless of where they're headquartered. "If you have a good startup idea, you're going to be able to raise money for it," he said. What can the UK and Europe do to ensure the most promising tech firms stay put?

The biggest barrier for startups, teams, and individuals, is not access to capital, lack of so called 'pedigree', or anything of that sort. It's far more pervasive than that. The biggest barrier is self-imposed self-limiting beliefs. If we believe even before starting and while building that we are at a disadvantage and there is no way we can compete with others who might have been dealt a better hand, well that's exactly what will happen. But going by that logic no startup should be able to make a dent in any space at all. There are multiple behemoths almost in every sector but Perplexity is still giving Google a run for their lives. There are multiple such examples. What we believe in is a very strong indicator of what probably will happen. #startup
