?? advice from our friends at a16z speedrun on #pitching ?? ?? ??
"10 Things I hate about your pitch" - Really cool video from Andrew Lee @ a16z speedrun of what an investor feels in a 1st meeting with no BS. Must-watch if you're fundraising. These insights took me years to learn—through honest, behind-closed-doors conversations with experienced people who truly cared. Normally investors are not open about these things because of potential backlash. Save this in your fundraising resources folder! #fundraising #venturecapital #entrepreneurship #startup

How did a tiny, scrappy team build one of the most powerful AI voice models? In a deep dive with Sesame CTO Ankit Kumar and a16z's Anjney Midha, we explore how Sesame is pushing the boundaries of AI conversation, why it open-sourced its speech generation model, and the power of small teams to outdo much larger AI labs on product focus. A part of their secret: A relentless focus on real-time, natural conversations over raw intelligence, and a deep commitment to voice, personality, and user experience. By opening up its speech generation model, Sesame is paving the way for even more breakthroughs in AI-native conversation. For more on how they did it, listen now: https://bit.ly/4bAFWxM

How many of these #ai apps do you use on the daily?
When it comes to apps, broad consumer appeal doesn’t always translate to revenue. So what can turn engagement into earnings? For our 4th installment of the Top 100 Gen AI Consumer Apps, we analyzed the top 50 AI mobile apps by usage and subscription revenue. Between them, there’s only 40% overlap. Many apps with lower usage proved to be the most effective at monetization, achieving significantly higher conversion rates and revenue per user. Those higher-earning apps are: 1. Niche apps catering to specific goals or skills, like plant identification, nutrition, or language learning. Though their audiences are less universal, these apps are more likely to attract users willing to pay for the product’s specialized value. 2. Apps with high-grade prosumer or enterprise-level features that more serious users will pay for. A notable mention: ChatGPT “copycats” – these apps mimic ChatGPT’s name and logo to falsely suggest they offer the same premium model at a lower price. These make 12% of both the mobile usage and revenue lists.
