Hot Takes Tuesday for 2024-06-25
Off the cuff analysis in a rapid fire format.
A few things that caught my attention today in big funding and M&A moves in tech yesterday… and the trend was A.I. related.
AI dominates tech funding and M&A moves, shaping a future of bioengineered indicators and internal data mastery.
Funds, Funding, and M&A

🏭 + 🤖 This is exactly the kind of funding that is going to accelerate a cheap as chips outcome.

🍪 + 🤖 We are only in the very earliest of stages for what will be incredible levels of specialization in custom silicon.

🧬 + 🤖 Imagine a world where everything around us has bioengineered indicators based upon novel GFP (Green Fluorescent Protein) designs of A.I. origins.

🗄️ + 🤖 Under the guise of the recruiting game shifting from external focus to internal data mastery is probably going to become increasingly popular as a less than subtle form of persistent employee monitoring.

🧑💼 + 🤖 In related news, by 2030, agentic A.I. will be similar to the fancy digital calculators and ergonomic staplers that were once indispensable parts of the modern office in the 1990s.

💸 + 🤖 Literal non-page turner document analysis is perfectly suited for A.I. and is precisely the kind of utility that makes massive impacts in time savings for creative time that could be spent elsewhere in the business.

A quick message from Lida:
With 18 years building, marketing, and scaling products at startups, I work with founders and leaders stuck between where they are and where they need to be. I help you cut through the noise, make sharper decisions, and get your team executing with clarity instead of chaos.
Most founders mistake complexity for strategy. They keep adding when they should be subtracting. When I'm brought in, the team is usually doing a lot right, and the real issue is focus and direction. I diagnose what's actually going wrong across product, positioning, and execution, then reset direction and get everyone aligned around one clear path forward that will lead to growth.
A bit of what I've done: I was the first PM on a fintech product that hit 10,000+ users within months, built a national incubator that supported over $500M in startup funding, and led teams at 23 Design before it was acquired by frog (the design team behind Apple’s first products). I've spoken at Google, Microsoft, and LinkedIn, etc.
