As Zeev Farbman, our CEO, puts it: "If startups want to have a serious chance to compete, the technology needs to be open." Check out the full article to see how we’re democratizing AI video and paving the way for the next generation of creators. Link in the comments.

Venture Capitalists Are Playing Matchmaker in the Age of AI 🚀🧠 An interesting WSJ article illuminates this shift, revealing how venture capitalist matchmakers are restructuring the AI space for greater efficiency and progress. For someone at the helm of a software development company or a thought leader penning insights on AI, it's time to understand these shifts, participate actively, and influence the course of AI evolution. https://lnkd.in/euMtpKkx 𝗜𝗻𝗳𝗹𝘂𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗳𝘂𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗲; 𝗶𝘁'𝘀 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗺𝗼𝘃𝗲.

Last week I got to see the power of AI-augmented funds for the first time. I was pitched by 6 tech founders - every single pitch suggested by our AI. Three things immediately stood out versus my time in venture capital a couple of years ago: - Every startup had impressive traction or a unique idea. - The AAA calibre of the founders, from former CIA analysts to Tesla battery engineers. And of course, most importantly: They were all automatically spotted by Mantis, Chamaeleon's in-house platform and the brainchild of Nuno Goncalves Pedro and Armindo Costa. Mantis uses AI and multi-factor analysis to find high-potential startups in every corner of the world. It took several years to get it this far. It’s still being developed. Thanks to it, our team spent zero manual labor to gain access to these deals. VC funds that don’t upgrade into AI-augmentation are clearly going to be disrupted. We believe the best investors in this AI cycle will be those who learn to harness its power daily, instead of chasing pitch deck fairy tales. We are series Seed and A investors. Have a cool week. #ai #venturecapital #dealflow

Works with “never make a profit!” too. “it is never enough” I did the revenue early on during the first year, pre-funding of my last company. Realized later it closed the door from lifescience VCs - yes, that’s why you saw so many of those “DTx pipelines companies” happily funded for years and dying as soon as the products reached market. Done the profit early on too. Even more of the “it is never enough” as profit, especially gross profit/profitable unit economics does slow down your growth when the sector is seens as a land grab. But there are ways ;) It is a matter of staying away from the hype.
