Hey everyone, welcome to the Laden Space podcast live from ACNZ. matched

Uh this is Alessio, founder of Kernelance, and I'm joined by Twix, editor of Laden Space. matched

Is there any difference in how you build the portfolio now that some of your growth companies are like the infrastructure of the early stage companies? matched

Like, you know, OpenAI is now at the same size as some of the cloud providers were early on. matched

Like matched

What does that look like? matched

Like how much information can you feed off each other between the the two? matched

Yeah, like at kernel labs, one of our ideas is like if you had unlimited money to spend productively to turn tokens into products, like the whole early stage market is very different. matched

Because today you're investing X amount of capital to win a deal because of price structure and whatnot, and you're kind of pot committing to a certain strategy for a certain amount of time. matched

But if you could like iteratively spin out companies and products and just throw I I wanna spend matched

a million dollar of inference today. matched

And get a product out tomorrow. matched

Yeah. matched

Like we should get to the point where like the friction of like token to product is so low that you can do this and then you can change the right the early stage venture model to be much more iterative. matched

And then every round it's like either one hundred K of imprint or like a hundred million from ECCZ. matched

There's no there's no like a million dollar matched

Yeah. matched

And I think that's breaking the early stage founder math too. matched

I think before a lot of people would be like, Well, maybe I should just go be a founder instead of like getting paid matched

eight hundred K a million at Google, but if I'm getting paid five, six million, that's different. matched
