Our new course, How VC Investors Think About AI Startups, cuts through the hype surrounding AI to offer entrepreneurs real insights into what drives investor decision-making in this space. It shares the perspectives of venture capitalists who are actively investing in AI startups, with a focus on how machine learning is influencing their strategies. Through in-depth conversations, you’ll explore how investors evaluate enterprise AI adoption, the potential of general AI versus specialized applications, and the infrastructure needed to scale artificial intelligence. The course also tackles key challenges like AI hallucination and the evolving role of superintelligence in shaping the future of the industry.
