Equity

We're in the pruning phase of tech layoffs

Listen Later

Here's the rundown from Mary Ann and Alex:

  • A new Chinese AI model had us wondering who is really going to win the AI war and whether governments will play a role — perhaps not the role that they are expecting.
  • A founder that Founders Fund funded is now funding other founders at Founders Fund: Yep.
  • Sticking to the venture theme, is it possible for AI models in venture to actually create a less biased landscape for entrepreneurs? Connetic Ventures thinks so!
  • Two bits of good news: Tech layoffs have dramatically slowed, and slowing inflation could herald the end of interest rate hikes, which could bolster tech valuations. Or at least cut some of the pressure.
  • Finally, as Twitter does what it usually does when a rival service takes off, we asked ourselves how other social media services are doing. We are more familiar with some than others.

    • As always, Equity will be back for you bright and early Monday morning. Talk soon!
