Astute insights from PitchBook's Rosie Bradbury on the next venture bubble in process: "The overwhelming majority of AI startups on the market will eventually stall or collapse. As Elad Gil put it: “99% of the companies are going to be awful, overvalued and in many cases, fail. Everybody, including myself, we’re all investing in the 1% and we’re probably wrong.”Time will tell which models stand up to commercial pressures and which use cases stick, as large enterprises simultaneously pour in research and development dollars.In the meantime, there’s plenty of money going around to burn—especially if the Bombardier private jets pop-up at Milken is anything to go by."https://lnkd.in/gMq7CFFQ#AI#VentureCapital#Valuations#Fundraising

Andrew Chen has been a brilliant and inspiring force for me as we build Radivision, evolve through the #ColdStartProblem (leveraging many insights shared in his amazing book - thank you Andrew!), and again today in his substack post. It's wonderful to see a VC leader acknowledge the infinitely powerful Divine Intelligence – the true cloud – and not just Artificial Intelligence... and with humor! https://bit.ly/4538DjG

Everyone in the startup ecosystem / VC industry must read this impactful message from Axios' Dan Primack message to VC's: "You're blowing it...The basic VC model...doesn't work if you stop exiting companies."Venture capital was built on the foundation of IPO exits, which have been broken for 25 years, with 80% of new issues trading below their IPO price, with returns and liquidity severely compromised. When large, short-term-focused institutions dominated IPO execution in the late 1990s and retail investors, VCs and long-term investors were disenfranchised, everything changed. But it can be changed back. It's plumbing, not rocket science. Solutions like negotiating the lock-up period term that guts newly IPO-ed market caps and corporate brands, and re-integrating retail investors back into early-stage venture investing for shared prosperity and unique valuation support can transform the industry – both private and public markets.

We've been frogs in gradually heating water. #IPOs and the public markets have been disrupted for 25 years, and while we were able to deliver temporary liquidity, the fundamentals and financial markets' infrastructure were not aligned on a long-term basis. Now that VCs are finally feeling the pinch - or the vice - perhaps new solutions can be delivered.
