The Neuron: AI Explained · Carta’s CMO Reveals What’s Really Happening to Startups · 20 Mar 2026 podcast

About half of all venture funding is going to AI native startups now.

So that means like the world of everything else, which used to be 100% of the world, is now 50% of the world.

We've seen 10% more solo founders than we had five years ago.

And while that doesn't seem like a huge number, it's actually like a fairly seismic change.

And that is entirely because of AI.

deal count is down.

It's at a six year low.

So the number of companies that are getting funding is significantly down.

But the amount of funding that's going to sort of the chosen companies is incredibly high.

The number of companies that are getting to a billion dollars in revenue startups in two or three years versus that's starting to become more of a norm as opposed to it being seven to ten years.

AI slop, it might seem like it's at the moment, you know, gets attention, but it's actually quite brand destructive.

Nicole, welcome to The Neuron.

Yes.

Thank you.

So nice to be here.

Excellent.

It's good to have you.

We're excited about this chat.

Yeah, so hello, Nicole Baer.

I've been in this marketing game for about 25 years, almost exclusively in tech.
