What Comes AFTER AI? 🤖👀 #shorts #venturecapital #techtrends

LinkedIn post from Konstantin Buehler over at Sequoia. Top companies are almost never born from the hype of their founding year. New trends also appear to announce themselves 5 to 6 years before they peak.

Whatever is coming after AI, which by the way, I don't think is robotics, whatever it is, started happening a couple years ago and a handful of people probably know it and the rest of us don't yet. But it's really hard to go to LPs and like, hey, I'm spending a bunch of my time in a category that no one else is talking about, that no one else thinks is valuable. And I just think it's so much easier to say, I'm working on the thing that everybody else is working on. To go to a cocktail party today and talk about your inference or harness or model companies is a lot easier than to go talk about some consumer company that you're investing in that nobody cares about.
