First In:
1. AI startups received over $1B just this week, propelled by 4 mega-rounds. Last quarter, the number of mega-rounds to AI startups was up from Q1 to 15. What AI companies do you think will make the biggest impact in the near future?
2. We’ve witnessed a drastic pivot in the VC industry toward a more conservative result-based mindset. COVID-19 has made this even more apparent. With VC's getting back to the basics to make sure founders have sound unit economics, what are the important questions you ask founders when considering an investment?
3. Limited Partners, historically the Money behind the Money, have always invested money in the VC's who then invest money in the startups. But the lines continue to blur as more and more LPs and VCs assume similar roles. What do you think the VC's of the future will look like?
Buy or Sell:
1. With AngelList helping Rolling Funds become the new craze, Buy or Sell it Rolling Funds disrupt venture capital?
2. With startups and tech playing such a major role in our lives, Do you think VC's now have the responsibility to weigh in on political and social issues?
3. Founder of the 20minute VC podcast Harry Stebbings tweeted "The best CMO you will ever have is your CEO. Welcome to the generation of personal brands". Buy or Sell Founders needing to build a personal brand presence to help their startup grow?
Money Round:
1. Chamath Palihapitiya tweeted - Investing 101: if you want an easy test to figure out which public companies you may want to invest in, do the following: in your phone, check Settings — Screen Time — See All Activity -- Week. When considering investing in a company, how important is it that you'd be personally would be an avid user of the product or service?
2. Ghost kitchen wars - between Virtual Kitchen and Cloud Kitchens, Which company do you think has the better outcome?
3. What's the wildest startup name you've funded and secondly, how important is a good name?
