For the first time in five years, global startup ecosystems are contracting while AI investments hit record highs. Something doesn't add up – and it's reshaping everything we thought we knew about tech innovation.
In this episode, we break down the biggest contradiction in today's tech landscape: why billions are pouring into AI companies but startup exits have hit rock bottom.
We'll explore how Asian markets are staging an unexpected comeback, why crypto showed surprising resilience with a 10.8% rebound, and how fintech companies are pivoting from hypergrowth to sustainable profits.
What You'll Learn:
- Why the AI investment boom isn't creating unicorns
- How the global startup ecosystem value crashed despite record funding
- Which regions are winning (and losing) in the new tech landscape

Perfect for: Tech entrepreneurs, startup investors, business strategists, and anyone trying to make sense of where innovation is actually heading.
