This Starday's thesis in a nutshell (pun intended)

Sequoia’s @JulienBek says many of their founders are now wondering if they’re “just an iteration away” from AI labs destroying their business.

He says the most defensible companies - and potentially the next trillion-dollar company - will be “a software business that masquerades as a services firm.”

“If you sell tools today, you’re really in the line of sight for the models and you’re effectively competing with the next generation that they’re going to launch.”

“Whereas if you sell the work, you’re actually benefiting from what the models are doing and all the billions of dollars that are going towards AI.”

One thing folks don't talk about as it relates to running a startup - how hard it is to deal with personal loss etc when going through the wringer as a startup CEO. A good friend passed away today and I took the second half of the day off to grieve after receiving the news. Had to actively fight the feelings of guilt for taking the time off which almost make it even worse.

“In other words, if data is the new oil, it’s now clear that AI is the engine of innovation that is accelerating and driving change across every part of the food system.”

Sharp insights from Michael Wolf at TheSpoon – and quite timely as food producers of all sizes are considering how to keep up with the rapid changes in consumer preferences and FDA priorities. We had a great conversation with Michael to give context to how our product development is informed by millions of content indicators reflecting consumer food preferences. There’s a new horizon for food development that will better answer consumer trends before they’ve flipped from emerging “want to have” interests to unmet needs.
