Episode Synopsis
In this episode, Max Meister and Guy Giuffredi discuss three major stories in the startup and VC ecosystem: the USD 300m exit of Lakera to Check Point, the Swiss National Bank emerging as a silent tech giant, and OpenAI’s updated financial plan with more than USD 115bn in spending through 2029.
The deep dive explores how artificial intelligence is rewriting the startup playbook – inspired by Andrew Chen’s widely discussed essay. The hosts debate new team structures, the difference between AI wrappers and true innovation, and why differentiation has never been more critical.
They also tackle the listener question of the week: What exactly is a venture studio, and why are more founders choosing this model? The episode wraps up with a look at the most exciting transactions of the week, including CUTISS, Bloom, Hypt, and Lemna Bio.
