News of the week brought to you by FWDstart.
This Week On The VC React Podcast:
An investor in Firefly Aerospace, OpenAI, Anthropic, Perplexity, Replit, Circle, Uniswap, Notion, and many many more join us today! With him we will discuss: Mega funds, fragile consumer AI, and the future of money:
- We break down Lightspeed’s record $9B AI raise, Is capital concentrating around the same winners again?
- We debate why most consumer AI startups still can’t stick. Is a pivot to enterprise what will make them the real revenues?
- And finally, we zoom out: from traditional banks to neobanks to stablecoin-native banks and capital markets now. With Circle’s new Arc blockchain, are we watching the next financial infrastructure shift unfold in real time?
