Valuable discussion at “Investing in Robotics & AI Startups” this week. Kudos to Grishin Robotics for organising and Cooley LLP for hosting (magnificent office!). A very practical conversation on where AI funding is heading, led by Dmitry Grishin and Dominic Keen.
This guide explains:
Top observations:
- The hype around major AI research labs will gradually shift toward practical, commercial AI applications solving real-world problems;
- Once LLMs gain deeper access to the digital world, the real value will come from companies that connect the offline world to digital narratives;
- Non-technical founders (alongside CTOs) should practice daily with tools like Codex, Claude or similar;
- Boring is the new sexy. Simple, practical, revenue-driven AI products are winning over flashy demos.
Great to connect with founders and investors building robotics and AI startups!
