AI isn't just powering software. BrightAI just raised $51 million to automate inspection and other hardware-based AI capabilities. As Alexa von Tobel, co-founder of Inspired Capital put it: “So many people are so focused on the future of digital AI, but we’re excited about this new layer of AI: the physical world AI.” We are in the early innings of a series of AI-fueled innovations! https://lnkd.in/enhmafvH

Exciting to see startups aiming to use AI to discover chemicals, materials, drugs, etc. Semi companies have taken notice: AMD is investing in and Cadence is acquiring them. Semi/EDA companies have broken out by becoming critical path, whether it’s through critical software, packaging, IP, design kits from foundries, or user communities. Aside from just making it easy to make new materials, these “AI for making X” companies also need to articulate a vision as to how they can establish monopolistic positions in their industries.

🚨 The AI shift isn’t just about integration — it’s about reimagining what’s possible. I spent the past few days in Birmingham, Alabama where I participated in a strategy session with one of our amazing portfolio companies, Croux, an AI native on-demand hospitality staffing platform. Their use of AI sparked a bigger question I’ve been considering across our portfolio: 👉 There’s a massive difference between founders who are “adding AI features” and those building businesses that simply couldn’t exist without AI. It reminds me of the early days of the iPhone. Most companies made their sites “mobile-friendly” — but the winners (Uber, Instagram, WhatsApp) were born mobile. Today, the same playbook is repeating with AI. In our newsletter this week, I explore: -Why “AI-native” companies will define the next wave of category winners -How founders can design around AI’s current limitations while harnessing its superpowers -The high-stakes implications for healthcare, climate, and fintech 📖 Read the full piece here: https://lnkd.in/eqHpQ37f I’d love to hear your perspective: Are the best founders you know simply integrating AI, or building something that couldn’t exist without it? #AI #startups #venturecapital #platformshift #innovation
