Sequoia (Sequoia Capital) Partner Julien Bek tells us why the next $1Trillion company will be a software company masquerading as a services firm: "Ultimately, if you look at the TAM today, for every dollar that you spend on software, $6 are spent on services". "If you sell the tools, the models are getting better and better and so you're at risk... whereas, if you sell the services, you're actually delivering outcomes." "Until now, we could really just go after the $1, but now with services first and human at the centre, we think you can capture the six".

Runway Co-Founder & Co-CEO Anastasis Germanidis breaks down Solaris, an interface world model that generates interactive applications pixel by pixel: "Solaris is what we call an interface world model." "It's an interactive video model that essentially renders an interface for you." "The difference is that it's all generated pixel by pixel by a video model." "Unlike traditional interfaces where you write some code, you write some HTML or CSS, and then that renders pixels, you're now rendering pixels directly." "By doing that you get a ton more flexibility." "You can kind of leverage everything that the video model can do and create any kind of application on top of it."

"The vaccine reduces recurrence by 50%, but it's for a very specific type of cancer and it's being used alongside other therapies." Works in Progress Writer & Editor Ruxandra Teslo 🧬 says the latest cancer vaccine news is exciting, but the headlines need context: "It doesn't stop recurrence entirely, and the company hasn't actually published the full Phase 3 results yet. We're still relying largely on the positive Phase 2B results." "So what does that mean? It definitely doesn't mean that we've cured cancer."

.Nicolas Sharp, CEO of Attio, on how the founder role changes: 0-20 people: "You do everything. While you wait for code to run, you log into Xero and do accounting. While walking to coffee, you answer Intercom tickets. It's this crazy cycle." 20-50 people: "You should have a team much better than you at everything. The role shifts to building the team, setting vision, keeping the company solvent. Hire great people, don't run out of money." 50+ people: "At 50 people, I could tell you what anyone was doing that day. That doesn't work past 50. You have to build systems for context and information dissemination. Be very thoughtful about culture." Founder at 10 people vs 50 people vs 100 people: Completely different jobs.

Avi Patel (Avi Patel) CEO of Kled (Kled AI) explains the situation with Luel, says he welcomes competition but larping in Silicon Valley has gotten out of hand: "You go fund this company run by an 18-year-old that dropped out of Berkeley... that one-to-one ripped off my entire company and then on top of that also is faking their compliance." "On their user page, which shows the live user count, it was a manual number counter that was going up. It wasn't even like something that was pulled from an actual place." "50% of their web traffic was from Nigeria... they are manually going out there and bolstering their numbers with Nigeria and actively accepting these fraudulent uploads so that they can look good in front of investors." "As an investor of Silicon Valley that is supposed to be prestigious and honourable... there is no world in a million years where you should give that company $31 million."

James Wise, Chairman of the £500M Sovereign AI Fund I on the UK's AI future: "We're working with some of the leading UK based and international venture funds and those relationships will be incredibly valuable for crowding in more money over time". "Should you need the hundred million pound round, the billion pound round or even the ten billion pound round... all the other public finance bodies we've got are looking at you from day one". "The UK needs a huge amount of capital to compete in AI. Luckily, we're going in the right direction... there is probably nowhere outside the US and China you can raise billion pound seed rounds like we're seeing here outside of the UK".

Elena Verna (elena verna) Head of Growth Lovable tells us how they built a viral growth engine: "The only thing that's working right now is social. But social not from a paid perspective. It's from an organic, creator-led perspective". "This is actually a pretty big counter pattern to most companies that tell their employees to zip it on socials". "We just say, 'Go be out there, show personality, show who you are, so people know who's building this product behind them "In the era where product is no longer differentiated in features, people want it to be human because we're going back to that human connection because technology is catching up on all of the functionality".
