Early-stage SaaS boasts best expected exit success rate for VCs 📈
No surprise here: Among the companies in the S&P 500, no firm mentioned AI more in Q4 2023 than Nvidia. During its earnings calls, the chip manufacturer referenced AI a whopping 114 times.
With OpenAI, Figure 01 can now have full conversations with people -OpenAI models provide high-level visual and language intelligence -Figure neural networks deliver fast, low-level, dexterous robot actions Everything in this video is a neural network:
The value of the global sharing economy expanded from $113B in 2021 to $149.9B in 2023. Its value is set to surge to $600B by 2027 and to $793.7B by 2031, according to a 2024 report by Proficient Market Insights.
VC funding for global enterprise SaaS startups dipped 33.3% from $109.2B in 2022 to $72.9B in 2023, per Pitchbook data cited by TechCrunch.

Investing.com’s historical data has shown that Bitcoin (BTC), the largest cryptocurrency by market cap, increased by 258% in value since Elon completed a $44B acquisition deal to buy Twitter, currently known as X. The price surged to as much as $72,771 since then.
xAI plans to make its AI model Grok open-source, offering it freely to the public and challenging OpenAI's proprietary model approach.
YOY fundraising changes by strategy(trailing four quarters)
VC First time fund count by size bucket and select time frame
Monzo has reached a new valuation of $5B following a recent funding round, highlighting its growth with 9MM UK customers at a time when venture capital in fintech has decreased by 34%, showcasing its strong market position despite broader sector challenges. #fintechblueprint
Women-led VC funds secured 3% of the total $107B VC funds raised globally in 2023, increasing from less than 2% in 2022. European startups raised about $60B in VC funding in 2023, with climate tech being the most popular sector.
AI Chatbots not ready for global elections: The AI Democracy Project tested five AI LLMs & found that all five gave inaccurate information when asked election-related questions. Gemini, Llama 2, &Mixtral were the most inaccurate, each answering over 60% of questions inaccurately.
