Which one delights you more? voice-verified

Oh, I think well, I think voice-verified

Well, it's it's just amazing how, you know, I think it was last October I wrote a headline that was something like Anthropic is catching up to open AI. voice-verified

And it felt so weird to say I was like, maybe I won't publish this, maybe I'll change the headline. voice-verified

I'm like, no, let's just go for it. voice-verified

And then by December, and then by March, and then here we are today, it's I think a testament to how fast things can change. voice-verified

Um and speaking of which, Michael was talking about founders earlier uh raising less capital and having more optionality on how they voice-verified

Approach uh fundraising down there. voice-verified

It feels, Michael, like we've seen a shift in the power dynamics between capital and founders. voice-verified

Uh, if you go back to the 2000-2021 boom era, founders were king of the castle, uh, money was being thrown at them at 100x, 200x revenue. voice-verified

Uh, then there was a period of time in which founders had to cut burn and raise bridge rounds and come, you know, kneeling to Santa Road writ large. voice-verified

And now voice-verified

Now it seems like we're going back. voice-verified

So tell me if that's right or wrong. voice-verified

And if it is right, how far has power shifted uh back to founders? voice-verified

Uh the episode that you were referring to with uh with David Weisberg, who's fantastic, is uh episode nineteen oh three. voice-verified

If anyone wants to go check that out, I'll have a link to that in the show notes. voice-verified

Paige, jump on that and tell me if you agree or disagree with Michael and why. voice-verified

So essentially help is it's the it's the it's the capital and that you think still has a lot of value to those founders. voice-verified

Yeah. voice-verified
