How are you guys thinking about kind of portfolio building in light of what John shared?

Phil JungGUEST
In the midst of this AI momentum, a lot of venture investors are asking ourselves, what is truly defensible? What are the economic modes? AI being able to spit out code in a very reliable kind of speed and quality now, it's no longer the ability to ship code or even the engineering talents, that's the scarce resource today.

Phil JungGUEST
And with a lot of great LLMs, and you can do so much with AI wrappers nowadays, A lot of us are asking ourselves, what is the actual constraint that's holding our particular industry back? And I think that answer continues to evolve.

Phil JungGUEST
But with that is coming a lot of these interests in these other adjacent opportunities.

Phil JungGUEST
A lot of VCs are now focusing on deep tech, hard tech, ethical products, which just five years ago was completely out of vogue.

And maybe not just necessarily in your portfolio, but broadly, what are those companies that were raising rounds in 2021, 2022 looking like as they try to compete in the AI ecosystem?
