AI Startups Investment vs. Business Reality | The Gestalt IT Rundown: May 1, 2024

Gestalt IT Rundown

You don't need an algorithm to know that AI is the hottest invements right now outside of frozen concentrated orange juice. Investors are seeing the mountain of money that Nvdia is making and giving startups all the funding they could hope for. While massive funding for startups in Silicon Valley is old news this recent wave has seen the huge investments coming in the very early stages instead of later rounds after a product has been developed and is ready to be put on the market. 2023 saw almost $22 billion in AI startup funding, with an average deal of $55 million per company, which is well above the $8 million startup average. Investors are starting to ask questions about revenue and startups are having a hard time answering. This and more on the Rundown.
