Trying out Gemini Business for GoogleWorkspace today - feels like they have a long way to go before it meets my expectations of what an AI productivity tool should do. ...a long way behind MS Co Pilot / Chat GPT Advanced Data Analystics.
Anyone ever heard of this happening in early stage investing/VC? They want to raise the sophisticated investor test to $5m so not to " ... expos[e] mum and dad investors to the risk of having to sell the family home to cover an investment loss...”

Would be interested in the stats about entrepreneurship in families (not just fathers to sons). Lots of these things look too hereditary.

Without data it is hard to know whether you are in your own little microcosm or really feeling the vibe. This feels right to me - things are headed in the right direction (albeit a lot more negative news to come out).

I wish there was more of this type of approach in the Australian venture space. Too often people commit to an idea (or worse developing software) before they have validated the opportunity. You can succeed through iteration and learning and it might even be less stressful!

This seems like a really bad sign of distress from a VC. Hoping people don't start to do this in Australia. Anyone seeing this?

Good advice for those founders out there raising. I'd also add start early and try to show some growth.

About to arrive in #Edinburgh via 🚂. Any great people in #venturecapital I should meet while I'm here or founders that want to know more about the Australian market? Happy to share experience from backing over 47 early stage companies and see them 🌸📈
Looks like Covid has seriously changed retail behaviour in most US cities. Wonder what the equivalent Aus data would show.
