It is time for ”Private Equity” companies to go back to their original playbook: buy underperforming business, deploy talent to improve strategy execution and operations. Instead of ”load it with debt and flip it or list it” #MTBS

Given recent news, in terms of business model innovation … Ukraine kinda ”owns it” 😅 #MTBS

The notion that ”AI” is going to replace people is not supported by facts. Simply. Not. At. All. It might in future, but now, this is a massive bubble #MTBS (from @TheEconomist) economist.com/finance-and-ec…

Why AI hasn’t taken your job

Yup. Here it is. Dotcom 2.0. It will be great eventually, but as ever, perhaps on the back of new players, offerings and business models #MTBS (from @TheEconomist) economist.com/business/2025/…

Welcome to the AI trough of disillusionment

Tech giants are spending big, but many other companies are growing frustrated

Heartbreaking (but not unexpected): the tariff idiocy of the US will create a business model massacre for SMBs that source in China. And then the poison will spread up the value chain (from the FT) #MTBS

Foundational AI models are not where the productivity explosion will come. The “apps” built on top of these models is where the action is. And it is buzzing with innovative activity. Wonder when we will see a Rocket Internet lookalike, copying good ideas fast (from the FT) #MTBS
