Microsoft, Google, and Amazon outspent #SiliconValley funds in #AI startups this year. #BigTech #companies #deployed #substantial #funds into #selected #generative #AI #startups in a frenzy to #establish a #leading #position. According to PitchBook, Microsoft, Google, and Amazon invested two-thirds of the $27 billion raised by #AI #companies in 2023. Some of the #largest #deals include Microsoft’s $10 billion #investment in OpenAI Google’s $2 billion and Amazon’s $4 billion investment in Anthropic Inflection AI’s $1.3 billion raise from Microsoft, NVIDIA and others. The push by Big Tech into generative AI resulted in $25 billion being invested into generative AI this year, more than four times what was invested in 2022. When a sector is hyped up, it can be challenging for some #VCs with limited cheque sizes to identify promising startups, secure an allocation, and invest in them. VCs can overcome such challenges by keeping up with the latest trends, maintaining a strong network, and knowing which teams are spinning out of leading organisations to launch their own startups.

Generative AI Showcase - I attended the AWS Generative AI Accelerator Showcase on 8/10/2023 at the Metreon in SF. Twenty one startups gave their pitch, the list of startups is here: https://lnkd.in/ehPzvJ2A. The picture is from the VC panel discussion (Andreessen Horowitz, Amazon, and two others). Pretty exciting! The startups seemed far along in their journey; however, a number of the startups were already fairly mature and incorporated Gen AI features (e.g., Flawlessai.com started five years ago). Takeaways from VC’s… We are at ground zero, it took years for the transformational apps such as Airbnb and Uber to arise after the Apple App store launched. Build on an area you know. Speed of execution is the top attribute they’re looking for in a founder. #genai #machinelearning #startupjourney #aws
