Such a cracking read! The stat on AI scooping up 71% of U.S. VC funding really jumped out, it’s wild how concentrated the capital flow has become. And I loved the angle on robots entering society, it’s not just about tech readiness but whether we humans are ready to adapt our attitudes too. The James Webb revelations piece was another standout - deep tech could genuinely be Europe’s ticket to leading the next trillion-euro wave.
Out of all these frontier flashpoints, which do you think will reshape founder opportunities the quickest - AI specialisation, late-stage funding discipline, or robotics adoption?
If I had to pick, AI specialisation will reshape founder opportunities quickest: lower capital needed to iterate, massive investor appetite, and fast product–market fit in vertical niches. Robotics and late-stage discipline matter hugely, but they move slower.
Brilliant weekly round up 👏
Thanks Chris!🚀
„AI-related ventures captured 71% of U.S. venture capital in Q1 2025, highlighting the sector’s rapid rise and investor frenzy.“
Crazy stats, thanks for sharing!
Totally — those numbers are wild. Thanks for reading!

Which would you back?
Hmm I’d back robotics adoption- while it moves slower, the long-term potential feels huge once costs come down and regulation catches up.
