Reacts: Fundraising In 2024 & Taylor Swift Deep Fakes
Taylor Swift on a startup podcast?
It’s not for her ERAS tour, nor is it for the Kansas City Chiefs upcoming Super Bowl game.
Listen to the insiders discuss the biggest developing stories this week:
🚀 Navigating the Volatile Fundraising Landscape:
A challenging fundraising environment in 2023 post-tech bubble burst, characterized by high rates and volatility.
Optimism surfaces in 2024, but with caution—expectations of smaller valuations and round sizes.
Founders urged to prioritize metrics like CAC, retention, and product-market fit. Revenue requirements for early startups scrutinized, except for late seed/Series A stages.
👤 Deepfake Controversies Unveiled:
Taylor Swift Deep Fakes spotlight the negative impacts of generative AI, posing threats to politics, culture, and celebrity realms.
The necessity of regulatory measures discussed; challenges arise in distinguishing between parody and harm.
Importance stressed on moderation and provenance tracking, as brute force solutions like blocking Taylor Swift searches prove ineffective and lack nuance.
