Wild chart from Jim Reid at Deutsche Bank, showing how much OpenAI is expected to burn before turning a profit. A couple things stand out also: How small the $AMZN burn really was for its first 8 years. How big the $UBER burn was before ultimately getting in the black

🎙️Had a blast chatting with @may_habib, founder and CEO of @Get_Writer, one of the fastest-growing enterprise AI companies! ✨We discussed her journey founding a GenAI company before the ChatGPT craze, building an enterprise-grade product and GTM motion with 200%+ net retention (!), what role RAG and vectorDBs have in the enterprise, and much more! May is a second-time founder and dropped a bunch of gems for anyone out there building in #AI. 🎧Tune in and subscribe wherever you listen to your podcasts: YouTube: youtu.be/oJwkiee3Rds Spotify: spoti.fi/49ZVCsh Apple: apple.co/3V1krzR Podcast Addicts: bit.ly/4bXjTRH Madrona site (includes transcript): bit.ly/3Vb3VNT

Consumers aren't going anywhere and will continually have new interests that can be filled by startups. Also, consumer sentiment climbed 29% over the last two months (sca.isr.umich.edu).
Not me! Sounds like this may be the best time to build and invest in the next big consumer company. Other factors are encouraging some VCs to shift their strategy, but "VCs giving up on the idea of investing in consumer" is wrong.
Venture capitalists have given up on the idea that they’ll make their career finding the next hit consumer marketplace, retail brand or media company. theinformation.com/articles/lerer… Dealmaker by @KateClarkTweets
