The problem with the term HR is that people are seen as resources - often exploited instead of empowered

The leap from assistive to generative models in #computervision will present the space with considerable opportunities. How will the automation and augmentation of sight change our forms of education, entertainment and work?

Areas that 99% of early-stage startups shouldn't innovate in:
- Hiring processes
- Org structure & titles
- Sales team compensation
- ESOP
- Pricing
- Investor updates
- ...
Focus on product and distribution.
For everything else, just copy what works for 1000s of others.

1/ there's lot of VC "inside baseball" on what's going on with startup valuations.
in short: VCs are SHITTING their pants over existing portfolio while same time SALIVATING over potential "more reasonable" (LOWER) valuations for new deals.
anyway here's my take on next 12 mo's:
Guessing that right around now is the time in the cycle that younger VCs will learn that there can be a huge gap btw unrealized values/mark-ups and actual returns/DPI. Mark-downs, lack of secondary buyers, no exit in sight are realities of the business. Winter is here/coming. 😊
