Ho Ho Ho, Alex here! (a real human writing these words, this needs to be said in 2025) Merry Christmas (to those who celebrate) and welcome to the very special yearly ThursdAI recap! This was an intense year in the world of AI, and after 51 weekly episodes (this is episode 52!) we have the ultimate record of all the major and most important AI releases of this year! So instead of bringing you a weekly update (it's been a slow week so far, most AI labs are taking a well deserved break, the Cchinese AI labs haven't yet surprised anyone), I'm dropping a comprehensive yearly AI review! Quarter by quarter, month by month, both in written form and as a pod/video! Why do this? Who even needs this? Isn't most of it obsolete? I have asked myself this exact question while prepping for the show (it was quite a lot of prep, even with Opus's help). I eventually landed on, hey, if nothing else, this will serve as a record of the insane week of AI progress we all witnessed. Can you imagine that the term Vibe Coding is less than 1 year old? That Claude Code was released at the start of THIS year? We get hedonicly adapt to new AI goodies so quick, and I figured this will serve as a point in time check, we can get back to and feel the acceleration! With that, let's dive in - P.S. the content below is mostly authored by my co-author for this, Opus 4.5 high, which at the end of 2025 I find the best creative writer with the best long context coherence that can imitate my voice and tone (hey, I'm also on a break!

On Episode 227, the conversation with New York lyricist Shah Leezy continues as we dig deeper into the mind, philosophy, and creative foundation behind his music. In this second installment, Shah expands on the themes that define his artistry — spirituality, cultural identity, loyalty, discipline, and the philosophy that shapes his worldview and writing.We explore the stories behind projects like Mohammad Speaks!, ALI BABA!, Shiraz, The London Tape, and the creative evolution leading to his latest album LUNACy! with producer Ezekiel Jordan. Shah breaks down how faith, life experiences, and cultural influence shape his voice, visual direction, and the narratives he brings to hip hop.The conversation also dives into his philosophical interests (including the use of Alan Watts samples), the responsibility of being an independent artist, the reality of being a Middle Eastern MC in today's hip hop landscape, and how he balances artistic integrity with ambition.This is Shah Leezy unfiltered — reflective, sharp, grounded, and intentional.
VOV1 - AI được dự báo sẽ “kích hoạt” cạnh tranh nước lớn trong năm 2026”. Đó là nhận định của giới phân tích khi dự báo về viễn cảnh năm 2026.Nhận định vừa nêu được đưa ra khi giới phân tích nhìn lại những diễn biến trong năm 2025, khi AI trở thành “Vũ khí giúp tăng vị thế của các quốc gia” và khiến cuộc chạy đua giữa các cường quốc, đặc biệt là Mỹ- Trung trở nên gay gắt.Việc tập đoàn Nvidia (Mỹ) rót hàng tỷ USD đầu AI vào châu Âu; sự vươn lên mạnh mẽ của các doanh nghiệp Trung Quốc, tiêu biểu như Moore Threads, Cambricon, Huawei và Alibaba, đặc biệt là sự ra mắt trí tuệ nhân tạo “made in China” mang tên DeepSeek gây sốc toàn cầu…báo hiệu một chu kỳ cạnh tranh mới, sâu rộng và mang tính chiến lược. Chúng ta sẽ cùng biên tập viên Hồ Điệp nhìn lại cuộc đua trí tuệ nhân tạo AI trong năm 2025 và đến với một số dự báo trong năm 2026.
Send us a textWelcome to Safe Dividend Investing's Podcast # 254, on December 20th of 2025. My name is Ian Duncan MacDonald, and I am an author of six investment books. I continue to working away on my latest book which will be called “Achieving Financial Independence Safely. 200 NYSE Stocks - Analyzed and Scored”. I am now down to the editing and formatting. However, I did add a new chapter to recognize the tremendous impact that AI stocks are having upon the stock market. I have anticipated that the readers of the new book would question why nothing on AI stocks would have appeared in the book.I found it interesting in researching this new chapter on AI stocks how similar an impact it has had upon the population was to when electricity was first introduced in the late eighteen hundreds. The same fears were there about a technology that you might not be able to control. My books are not get-rich-quick books. They are about taking a little time to carefully seek out financially strong companies with long histories of paying ever rising high dividends accompanied by rising share prices. Diversification and patience win out in investing. The objective is achieving that steady, reliable income that results in financial independence for the rest of your life. My plan is to release this new book at a greatly reduced price for ten days. If you wish to be informed of this preliminary release date, please email me at imacd@informus.ca.Please, visit my website www.informus.ca if you wish to learn more about me and my writing.Ian Duncan MacDonald Author and Commercial Risk Consultant,President of Informus Inc 2 Vista Humber Drive Toronto, Ontario Canada, M9P 3R7 Toronto Telephone - 416-245-4994 New York Telephone - 929-800-2397 imacd@informus.ca
Alors que la justice française doit se prononcer sur une possible suspension de Shein, le débat sur les marketplaces low-cost s'intensifie en Europe. Pendant ce temps, sur un autre continent, le e-commerce suit une trajectoire bien différente. En Afrique, un acteur s'impose comme le leader du secteur: Jumia, souvent qualifié d'« Amazon africain ». Contrairement aux marchés européens, déjà matures et fortement concurrentiels, le e-commerce africain demeure un secteur en phase de structuration. Dans de nombreux pays, acheter en ligne n'est pas encore un réflexe généralisé. Les obstacles sont concrets : absence d'adresses officielles dans certaines villes, infrastructures logistiques insuffisantes, réseaux de distribution fragmentés. Pourtant, le marché affiche une dynamique impressionnante. Le commerce en ligne en Afrique progresse à un rythme compris entre 12 % et 14 % par an, bien supérieur à celui observé en Europe ou en Amérique du Nord. En 2025, il devrait représenter près de 280 milliards de dollars. Cette croissance est portée par une population jeune, majoritairement urbaine, largement équipée en smartphones et de plus en plus connectée à Internet. Mais sur le terrain, le développement du e-commerce reste prudent, contraint par les réalités économiques et logistiques. Jumia, l'ambition d'un Amazon africain C'est dans ce contexte que Jumia a vu le jour en 2012. La plateforme s'est donné pour mission de révolutionner les habitudes de consommation de plus d'un milliard d'Africains, avec une ambition claire : créer un Amazon ou un Alibaba adapté au continent. Séduits par le slogan « 100 % Afrique, 100 % Internet », les investisseurs internationaux ont injecté près de 800 millions de dollars avant l'entrée en Bourse de l'entreprise à New York, en 2019. Mais l'euphorie est de courte durée. Dès son introduction en Bourse, le cours de l'action chute. Dans le même temps, Jumia poursuit une expansion rapide, s'implantant jusqu'à 14 pays. Une stratégie qui se révèle trop coûteuse. Les pertes s'accumulent, la logistique peine à suivre et le modèle montre ses limites. L'entreprise est alors contrainte de revoir en profondeur sa stratégie et son périmètre d'activité. Recentrage stratégique et concurrence accrue Aujourd'hui, Jumia existe toujours, mais sous une forme plus resserrée. La plateforme a réduit la voilure et concentre désormais ses activités dans neuf pays, qui représentent néanmoins près de 60 % du PIB africain. Pour s'adapter aux spécificités locales, elle a développé des solutions sur mesure : points de retrait dans les villages et les quartiers périphériques, recours au paiement à la livraison pour rassurer des consommateurs encore méfiants à l'égard du paiement en ligne, multiplication des partenariats régionaux et internationaux pour mieux gérer les stocks et limiter les ruptures. Ce repositionnement intervient dans un contexte de concurrence accrue. L'Américain Amazon et les plateformes chinoises Temu ou Shein s'intéressent elles aussi au marché africain. Mais ces acteurs avancent prudemment, confrontés à des réalités qu'ils maîtrisent encore imparfaitement. Amazon, par exemple, s'est implanté en Égypte puis en Afrique du Sud, deux des marchés les plus mûrs du continent. La force de Jumia réside aujourd'hui dans sa connaissance fine du terrain et dans la fidélité d'une clientèle locale. L'entreprise affiche un objectif clair : atteindre la rentabilité d'ici à 2027. Selon plusieurs cabinets spécialisés, ses chances d'y parvenir sont désormais estimées à 70 %, contre une probabilité quasi nulle il y a encore quelques années. D'autres plateformes, comme Konga au Nigeria ou Takealot en Afrique du Sud, tentent elles aussi de tirer leur épingle du jeu à plus petite échelle. En Afrique, le succès du e-commerce ne passe pas par le copier-coller des modèles occidentaux, mais par une adaptation constante aux réalités locales.
À quelques jours de Noël, combien de petits colis ont été livrés à votre domicile en provenance de Chine ou d'ailleurs ? Trop, répond l'Union européenne. Car ce sont quelque 4,6 milliards de colis qui entrent sur le sol européen chaque année, et jusqu'à présent, ceux d'une valeur de moins de 150 euros étaient totalement exonérés de droits de douane, ouvrant grand notre marché à la déferlante des plateformes chinoises du commerce à bas coût, comme Shein, Temu et autres Alibaba.

Philips durfde ruim twee jaar geen overnames te doen. Alle tijd en geld ging op aan de slaapapneu-affaire. Maar die tijd is voorbij: het bedrijf lijft de Amerikaanse start-up Spectrawave in. Geen gigantisch bedrijf, met zo'n 70 medewerkers, maar toch: gaat Philips nog meer op overnamejacht? Dat bespreken we deze aflevering. Daarin vertellen we je ook over Nvdia. Sinds de chipmaker groen licht heeft van de VS om de op-een-na-beste AI-chips aan China te leveren, stromen de bestellingen binnen. Klein detail: China wil die chips helemaal niet hebben. Duiken we ook nog op het SpaceX van Elon Musk. Vorige week lekte al uit dat er een beursgang aankomt en vandaag lijkt dat weer een stapje zekerder. En je hoort over het bedrijf achter de robotstofzuiger Roomba: dat is ter ziele gegaan. Te gast is Nico Inberg van De Aandeelhouder, die het hele verhaal rond OCI en Orascom alvast aanwijst als 'scam van het jaar'.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
Send us a textSo the whole Bravo community is in a tizzy because Bronwyn Newport has separated from Todd Bradley, but wait until you hear what I discovered in court documents going back years that changes everything about what we've been watching on Real Housewives of Salt Lake City. I'm revealing the real timeline of their relationship and why I believe she needed him for casting in the first place, plus the shocking reason the separation was announced NOW of all times. We're also diving into Lisa Barlow's swollen ankles that had fans worried - she finally explains what's really going on with her health on Jeff Lewis' show, and I'm sharing major behind-the-scenes tea about why the entire RHOSLC cast actually feels about Lisa that will completely change how you watch the show. Then we get into the Greece trip S6 Ep 17 drama where Heather Gay tries to shut down the Cartier watch fight in the most Heather way possible, Whitney Rose nearly falls off a mountain, and Meredith Marks faces an ambush dinner that reveals what might be the REAL reason Whitney and Heather have formed this alliance against her - and it connects back to the Alibaba tea that was spilled about Whitney's business. You won't believe which housewife might have actually been behind leaking that information and how they manipulated the narrative. Plus I'm breaking down Mary Cosby calling out Meredith for her disengaged behavior and whether this is Meredith's new strategy to avoid being pinned down on camera. THEN we transition into Miss Universe chaos Part 2 with Princess Sammy where we learn that both Anne Jakrajutatip and Raul Rocha Cantú have FLED their countries, there are 13 arrest warrants issued, and I'm revealing the money laundering schemes involving everything from skincare to water bottles. Sammy answers YOUR QUESTIONS. Will Princess Sammy BUY IT?! Sammy exposes which Miss Universe winner had guns held to her head and received death threats throughout her reign, the Miss USA scandals involving Crystal Stewart and Layla Rose, and why Sammy believes Anne might end up as a fish taco. We also get into 50 Cent's "Diddy: The Reckoning" docuseries and my theory about how 50 Cent got that privileged attorney footage - could Daphne Joy be involved? Plus we discuss the Trump/Epstein connection theories, what Epstein really said about Trump in those Michael Wolff recordings, whether Bill Barr baited Epstein back to the US, and why the prosecution struggled with Cassie's testimony in the Diddy case.

Direkt zur Spryker & Alibaba Integration: https://spryker.com/alibaba Spryker Finanzierungsrunde: www.spryker.com In dieser Folge führen wir ein ausführliches Gespräch mit Kuo Zhang, dem Präsidenten von Alibaba.com, und erkunden die komplexen Abläufe und das transformative Potenzial der Plattform. Als weltweit führende B2B-Plattform gibt Zhang Einblicke in deren Umfang, die über 50 Millionen Käufer und 200.000 Lieferanten bedient. Seit ihrer Gründung im Jahr 1999 und Zhangs Einstieg im Jahr 2017 hat die Plattform bedeutende Verbesserungen erfahren und sich von einem traditionellen Modell zu einem Modell gewandelt, das zunehmend KI-Technologien nutzt und damit die Art und Weise, wie Unternehmen weltweit Produkte beschaffen, grundlegend verändert hat. Zhang geht näher auf die Käuferdemografie der Plattform ein und stellt fest, dass die Mehrheit von außerhalb Chinas stammt, wobei ein erheblicher Anteil aus den USA und Europa kommt. Die Käufer reichen von großen Einzelhändlern bis hin zu kleineren Unternehmen, die nach einzigartigen Produkten suchen, was ein vielfältiges Ökosystem zeigt, das verschiedene Branchen umfasst. Das Gespräch kommt auch auf die beeindruckende Transaktionssumme von Alibaba.com in Höhe von über 60 Milliarden US-Dollar in diesem Jahr zu sprechen und erklärt, dass dies den Bruttowarenwert (GMV) darstellt und das Potenzial für noch höhere Einzelhandelswerte hervorhebt, wenn man die Wiederverkaufsmargen berücksichtigt.

It's a magnet for side hustlers around Europe. The CoCreate event was held this November in London, the first time it's come to Europe. It's an event run by Alibaba.com, a global online marketplace for b2b wholesale trade. Small businesses use it to source in bulk products from manufacturers and trading companies to then sell to consumers themselves. Alibaba.com is part of Alibaba Group founded by Jack Ma in China in 1999. Alibaba.com now connects 50 million buyers with 200,000 global suppliers, many of them based in China. At CoCreate there are suppliers showing off their wares, including everything from robot vacuum cleaners to skincare products and fashion items. Dougal Shaw spoke to the entrepreneurs who flocked to this event before catching up with Kuo Zhang, the president of Alibaba.com, to find out how small companies can access global supply chains, with AI making the task increasingly sophisticated.

Sales during China's largest online shopping festival, Singles' Day, jumped almost 18% from a year earlier, but the pace of growth slowed as bargain hunters opted for more affordable deals. Consumers have been tightening their belts, spending cautiously due to a prolonged slump in the property market, lagging wages, and high unemployment among the young Chinese who usually would be most likely to splurge on online purchases. Chinese retail data provider Syntun said that the estimated combined sales value for this year's online retail bonanza, the country's equivalent to Black Friday and Cyber Monday when e-commerce giants offer deep discounts, reached almost 1.7 trillion yuan ($238 billion). The almost 18% increase in sales was just over half the nearly 27% increase in 2024, when sales totaled 1.44 trillion yuan. Syntun noted that the comparison was not direct, since this year's festival was roughly a week longer. Analysts said that was partly to help prop up sales for the e-commerce companies at a time of softer demand. “This year's Singles' Day should be viewed as a positive signal for China's consumer economy,” said Jacob Cooke, CEO of the consultancy WPIC Marketing + Technologies. “The longer sales window means year-on-year comparisons are imperfect, but the underlying indicators—strong participation, high engagement, and broad category strength—show that consumers are still spending,” Cooke said. E-commerce giant Alibaba launched Singles' Day in 2009 as a one-day sales event on November 11, a celebration for singles since it is known in Chinese as “Double 11.” Consultancy Bain & Company said in a recent report that Singles' Day's “once-stellar growth” has been maturing over the past several years. Increasing sales beyond current high levels may be tough, partly because of the sluggish economic climate, it said. Still, JD.com, one of China's biggest e-commerce platforms, said its turnover reached a record high, with a nearly 60% jump in the number of orders and a 40% increase in the number of shoppers. This article was provided by The Associated Press.
In Part 2 of our conversation with Professor Lizhi Liu, we shift from the origins of China's e-commerce boom to the competitive dynamics shaping its present—and its future.Lizhi breaks down how major platforms like Taobao/Tmall, JD, and Pinduoduo have shaped institutional innovation through intense competition, and what their strategies reveal about China's digital governance model. We discuss the globalization of Chinese platforms, the role of mega-shopping festivals like Singles' Day, and the evolution of social commerce as short-video platforms transform product discovery and purchasing behavior.We also explore how China's digital ecosystem may evolve over the next decade—and the one key lesson Lizhi hopes global audiences take away from her book.Listeners interested in cross-border commerce, platform governance, or the future of China's digital market will find this second installment packed with insights.Discussion Points (Part 2):How platform competition among Alibaba, JD, and Pinduoduo shaped China's e-commerce institutionsChina's growing presence in global e-commerce and the rise of cross-border sellersSingles' Day as a political-economic phenomenon, and whether these mega-festivals still matterThe evolution and significance of social commerce in ChinaPredictions for the next stage of China's e-commerce developmentThe key takeaway Lizhi hopes readers remember from From Click to Boom
SoftBank is doubling down on artificial intelligence with a $30 billion commitment to OpenAI and ambitious plans for Stargate – even as risks mount. After a 200% surge earlier this year, shares tumbled 40% in November when Google’s Gemini 3.0 gained traction, threatening ChatGPT’s dominant position in the AI race. Credit stress is rising, with CDS widening to nearly 300 basis points as funding concerns build. Investors and creditors are increasingly uneasy as OpenAI now accounts for about 20% of SoftBank’s net assets, turning what was once seen as a bold growth play into a potential source of concentrated risk. Bloomberg Intelligence equity analyst Kirk Boodry and credit analyst Sharon Chen join John Lee on the Asia Centric podcast. Together they unpack SoftBank’s AI ambitions, its reliance on margin loans and the implications of circular financing. They also weigh up Masayoshi Son’s track record – spectacular wins such as Alibaba and painful failures like WeWork – against his latest AI gamble.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
Die Aktienfutures tendieren am Mittwoch vor der wichtigen Fed-Sitzung seitwärts. Die Märkte erwarten mit rund 90 % Wahrscheinlichkeit eine dritte Zinssenkung in Folge um 25 Basispunkte – doch der Offenmarktausschuss bleibt gespalten. Einige Mitglieder warnen vor zu hoher Inflation, andere fürchten eine weitere Abkühlung des Arbeitsmarkts. Auch die Lohnentwicklung verläuft schwächer: erwartet werden nur +0,8 % statt zuvor +0,9 %. Der Nasdaq konnte zuletzt leicht zulegen, während der Dow minimal im Minus schloss. Auffällig ist die Sektorrotation: Der Russell 2000 erreichte ein neues Intraday-Allzeithoch – kleinere Unternehmen profitieren besonders von sinkenden Zinsen. Strategen rechnen mit einer breiteren Marktteilnahme und besseren Wachstumsbedingungen bis 2026. Unterdessen startet Trump die finalen Interviews für den neuen Fed-Vorsitz. Auf der Liste stehen u. a. Kevin Warsh und Kevin Hassett – eine Entscheidung könnte in Kürze fallen.

Episode 88: What happens inside OpenAI when Google drops a game-changing AI model? Matt Wolfe ((https://x.com/mreflow) and Maria Gharib (https://uk.linkedin.com/in/maria-gharib-091779b9) break it down. This episode unpacks OpenAI's unprecedented “Code Red,” the real reason Sam Altman hit the panic button, and how Google's Gemini 3 and Nano Banana Pro could threaten OpenAI's dominance.

Vince Kadlubek, co-founder of Meow Wolf, joins Charlie and Ted for a deep dive into the future of immersive entertainment, arguing that in an age of infinite AI-generated digital content, "physical reality is the only place novelty still exists." From Meow Wolf's origins as a scrappy art collective dumpster-diving for materials in Santa Fe to becoming a global location-based entertainment juggernaut with new sites planned for Los Angeles and New York, Vince reveals the philosophy behind building "maximalist" worlds that don't just tell stories but allow audiences to inhabit them.In the news segment, Charlie and Ted discuss Netflix's $83B acquisition of Warner Bros (HBO/IP assets only), Meta cutting 30% of Reality Labs to fund AI while poaching Apple's top designer, and the looming battle for 2026 as Android XR prepares to launch.Vince breaks down Meow Wolf's evolution from static walkthrough experiences to "animated spatial storytelling" where environments and characters respond to user actions—a vision of "XR RPGs" (Extended Reality Role Playing Games) that bridge the gap between video games and theme parks. He explains why the "monoculture" of Game of Thrones is gone forever, why Netflix's acquisition power signals the end of traditional scarcity models, and why the future of storytelling isn't on a screen—it's cross-reality, persistent, and physically grounded.Guest HighlightsOrigins of the Multiverse: How a Santa Fe art collective turned a bowling alley into the "House of Eternal Return" with George R.R. Martin as landlord.The "Cross-Reality" Future: Why physical locations alone aren't enough—Meow Wolf is building a "mechanically connected transmedia universe" where your actions in the park affect your digital profile and vice versa.Hollywood 2.0: New LA location takes over a movie theater to "honor cinema" while deconstructing it into spatial storytelling.Novelty Theory: "I don't care about photorealistic AI gorillas anymore." Why digital content has zero value and physical presence is the new premium.Questing & Agency: New "XR RPG" mechanics in Dallas/Houston allow visitors to level up, solve puzzles, and impact the world—gamifying reality without headsets.News HighlightsNetflix acquires Warner Bros assets ($83B)—Streaming wars end with tech giants vacuuming up legacy IP; theaters face the "nail in the coffin."Meta cuts 30% of Reality Labs—Pivot to AI funding while hiring Apple's former design chief signals a shift from brute-force VR to refined wearables.Android XR & Samsung 2026—Google and Samsung prepare to challenge Vision Pro with a new ecosystem launch next year.Alibaba launches Quark AI Glasses—China enters the smart glasses race with multimodal AI assistants.Subscribe for weekly insider perspectives from veterans who aren't afraid to challenge Big Tech.

El hombre que lloró por vender sus acciones En diciembre de 2025, uno de los inversores más poderosos del planeta confesó algo que ningún manual de finanzas te enseña: que había llorado mientras vendía. No era un novato asustado. Era Masayoshi Son, el fundador de SoftBank, un hombre que ha ganado y perdido más dinero que el PIB de muchos países pequeños. Un visionario que apostó por Alibaba cuando nadie sabía qué era Alibaba, y que ahora controla un imperio tecnológico que mueve billones. Y sin embargo, ahí estaba, en un escenario en Tokio, admitiendo públicamente que las lágrimas le corrían por la cara mientras firmaba la orden de venta. ¿Por qué? Porque a veces, en los mercados y en la vida, las decisiones correctas son las que más duelen. Porque el coste de oportunidad no es solo un concepto académico: es ese nudo en el estómago cuando sabes que estás renunciando a algo que amas para perseguir algo que necesitas. Lo fascinante no es que llorara. Lo fascinante es por qué tuvo que hacerlo, qué estaba comprando con ese dinero, y qué nos dice eso sobre el momento exacto que estamos viviendo en los mercados. Esta semana, en el podcast, exploramos esta historia y muchas otras que definen el presente —y probablemente el futuro— de tu dinero. Hay fusiones que parecen sacadas de una novela de ciencia ficción. Hay empresas que valían cero hace tres años y ahora mueven mercados enteros. Hay una guerra silenciosa por el control del silicio que decidirá quién domina la próxima década. Y hay, creedme, una historia sobre cartas de Pokémon que ilustra algo profundo sobre la naturaleza humana y los precios. No voy a contar más aquí. Solo diré esto: Son lloró porque entendió algo que la mayoría de inversores tarda décadas en comprender. Y cuando lo escuches, probablemente tú también lo entiendas. El episodio ya está disponible. Dale al play. Actualidad Semanal +D — Donde las finanzas se cuentan como historias, porque eso es lo que son.
This week on Unsupervised Learning, Jacob Effron is joined by Jordan Schneider, host of China Talk, who challenges widespread assumptions about US-China AI competition. China's AI development is driven by private capital and market competition—not central government planning—with companies like DeepSeek, Alibaba, and ByteDance operating more like Silicon Valley startups than state projects. The critical bottleneck is compute: the West maintains a 10-15x advantage in advanced chips, and US export controls implemented one month before ChatGPT created a structural edge favoring America for years. Chinese companies aggressively open-source models from strategic necessity—they couldn't establish a quality gap justifying paid access like OpenAI. Jordan explains why the "Goldilocks strategy" of controlled chip dependency fails, why expert consensus opposes selling advanced semiconductors to China despite Nvidia's lobbying, and how Taiwan's invasion risk is driven more by domestic politics than AGI scenarios. China's real advantage may emerge in robotics manufacturing at scale, where they're already deploying while the US debates strategy.

What does it take to build a top-performing growth equity firm in a market defined by hype cycles, capital oversupply, and shifting investor expectations?In this episode, host Linnea Jungnelius sits down with Brian Neider, Managing Partner at Lead Edge Capital, a $5B global growth equity firm behind category-defining companies like Toast, Spotify, Alibaba, and Duo Security. As one of the original builders of Lead Edge, Brian has spent two decades refining one of the most disciplined investing models in the industry — a framework rooted in focus, consistency, and an unrivaled network of 700+ operator LPs.From staying “militantly” true to your strike zone, to navigating the aftermath of the 2020–2021 capital cycle, to separating real AI traction from experimental noise, Brian breaks down what great investors and great firms do differently. For growth equity investors, founders, and anyone responsible for capital allocation, this conversation reveals why discipline compounds, how strategy integrity drives DPI, and what it truly means to build a fund that becomes a company.What You'll Learn:• Why staying in your strike zone is the most underrated competitive advantage in growth equity.• How Lead Edge built a network of 700 operator LPs and activates them.• How to evaluate companies in the post–“growth at all costs” era.• What gross retention tells you that topline growth never will in regard to AI hype.• Why exit pathways must be defined upfront.• Urgency, clarity, and the ability to adapt without drifting are the best traits CEOs and teams can have.Timecodes:00:00 Intro00:18 Guest Introduction: Brian Neider, Lead Edge Capital04:00 From “Grow at All Costs” to Profitable Growth05:32 Lead Edge 8: The Metrics That Matter08:30 LP Priorities: DPI, TVPI, and IRR10:48 Why DPI Is Critical in Today's Market11:58 Exit Strategy Design: Defining Paths Upfront13:58 Disposition Committee: The Overlooked Advantage16:00 Filtering AI Hype: Experimental Spend vs. Real Retention20:12 The Bucket Analogy: Understanding AI Churn23:00 Founding Lead Edge: Building the LP Network Differently26:10 Scaling the Firm: From All-Hands to Specialization30:20 Activating the LP Network: How It Works in Practice33:40 The LP Flywheel: Sourcing, Diligence, and Portfolio Support36:00 Value Creation Capabilities: GTM, HR, and AI Support38:12 What Great CEOs Do: Urgency, Adaptability, Action41:54 Designing Effective Boards: Functional + Industry Balance44:30 Building Executive Teams: The Power of a Rigorous Hiring Process46:06 What's Next: The Future of Lead Edge & Market Opportunities51:58 Lightning Round: Personal ReflectionsResources:Brian Neider: LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/brian-neider-7774041/Linnea Jungnelius:LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/linneajungnelius X: https://x.com/itslinneaExplore the Podcast:Spotify: https://acertitu.de/brian-neider-spotify-podcastApple Podcasts: https://acertitu.de/brian-neider-apple-podcastBlog: https://acertitu.de/brian-neider-blogFound Value?

- In a support document spotted by 9to5Google, Google notes free users can currently generate two images daily, down from three per day previously. The company wrote: "Image generation and editing is in high demand. Limits may change frequently and will reset daily." -The agency's director, John Squires, said in a notice obtained by Reuters that the USPTO deems genAI to be "analogous" to other tools that inventors might use in their process, including lab equipment, software and research databases. Squires wrote: "AI systems, including generative AI and other computational models, are instruments used by human inventors. They may provide services and generate ideas, but they remain tools used by the human inventor who conceived the claimed invention." -Alibaba's Quark AI glasses are now available for purchase in China. The company has released three variants of the flagship S1 model and three of the more affordable G1 model. They both connect to Alibaba's newly launched App, powered by the company's own AI tech, for AI assistance through voice commands and touch controls. Learn more about your ad choices.

Alors que le « Black Friday » bat son plein ce vendredi 28 novembre, un acteur de cet événement fait la Une de l'actualité économique. Le groupe chinois JD.com s'apprête à entrer dans le capital du groupe Fnac-Darty, via le rachat de l'actionnaire allemand Ceconomy. Une opération qui suscite l'attention de l'État et interroge sur les ambitions chinoises en Europe. C'est un gros coup pour JD.com et il est malin. Pour imposer sa présence sur le sol européen, la stratégie a été affinée. Il n'achète pas directement des actions Fnac-Darty mais s'apprête à reprendre Ceconomy, distributeur allemand et détenteur de 22% du capital du groupe français. Avec cette opération, JD.com deviendrait mécaniquement le deuxième actionnaire de Fnac-Darty, juste derrière le milliardaire tchèque Daniel Kretinsky. Une arrivée qui ne passe pas inaperçue. Elle intervient alors que la France cherche déjà à endiguer la montée en puissance de plates-formes chinoises comme Shein, Temu ou AliExpress. Voir débarquer un géant du e-commerce chinois dans le capital d'un groupe culturel français déstabilise donc autant qu'elle interroge. Un actif culturel qui inquiète l'État français Le ministre de l'Économie l'a rappelé : Fnac-Darty n'est pas une enseigne comme les autres. C'est un acteur culturel majeur, ancré dans la vie quotidienne des Français, présent à la fois en ligne et dans un dense réseau de magasins. Livres, CD, produits techniques, électroménager, services. Difficile de trouver un foyer français qui n'ait jamais acheté dans l'une de ces enseignes. Pour autant, Fnac-Darty ne fait pas partie des secteurs officiellement protégés par le contrôle strict des investissements étrangers. Mais l'État a néanmoins décidé de suivre ce dossier de très près. Un accord a ainsi été conclu. JD.com devra rester un actionnaire « dormant », c'est-à-dire sans rôle dans la gestion du groupe. Également, le géant chinois s'engage à ne pas dépasser les 22% de participation, limitant ainsi toute tentative de prise de contrôle. Derrière ces conditions, une même crainte : que Fnac-Darty ne finisse, à terme, sous pavillon chinois. Une opération stratégique pour JD.com face à un marché chinois saturé Si cette actualité éveille autant d'intérêt, c'est aussi parce que JD.com cherche à s'imposer en Europe. Troisième acteur du e-commerce chinois, doté d'une excellente réputation en matière de fiabilité et de logistique, le groupe fait face à une concurrence féroce avec Alibaba ou Temu. Les marges se réduisent, le marché arrive à saturation et l'international devient une nécessité. Ces dernières années, JD.com a d'ailleurs tenté plusieurs percées en Europe, sans succès, comme le projet de rachat de la chaîne britannique Argos ou encore une tentative d'entrée au capital de Currys, autre distributeur d'électronique au Royaume-Uni. L'opération Ceconomy-Fnac-Darty constitue donc un premier pas concret, loin d'être anecdotique. Avec son expertise colossale en matière de logistique intégrée et de contrôle de la chaîne d'approvisionnement, JD.com pourrait pousser Fnac-Darty à adapter sa stratégie, notamment face à Amazon, omniprésent en Europe. Mais cette entrée au capital illustre aussi quelque chose de plus large. D'abord, la montée en puissance technologique de la Chine, la bataille logistique mondiale entre géants américains et asiatiques, la fragilité des distributeurs européens et le rôle croissant des États dans la protection de leurs entreprises.
Passend zur aktuellen Black Week werfen Alex und Karo einen kritischen Blick auf große Rabattaktionen wie den Black Friday. Sie diskutieren, warum diese Events häufig nicht mehr den gewünschten Umsatz bringen, sondern vor allem Margen unter Druck setzen und hohe Akquisitionskosten verursachen. Könnten Trade-In-Kampagnen 2026 zum Umsatztreiber der Black Week werden? Außerdem geht es um die Veränderungen im E-Commerce durch chinesische Plattformen wie Shein, SheGlam, Temu und TikTok Shop. Karo und Alex besprechen die abflachende Wachstumsprognose für 2026, die Verschiebung von Konsumtrends und Live-Shopping-Formate. Abschließend werfen sie einen Blick auf die neue Sourcing-Plattform Accio, die über ChatGPT-Anbindung an Alibaba.com schnelle Produktrecherche und Lieferantenkontakte ermöglicht.

Negociar con proveedores chinos es un arte que combina análisis, estrategia y mucha disciplina. Para Andrés Bellón, experto en importaciones, mentor y fundador de ITG en Colombia, todo comienza con entender el ecosistema donde se juega la partida. Él lo resume con claridad: "Alibaba es una de las plataformas principales para tener al alcance las diferentes fábricas de China y con la que puedes comunicarte con proveedores, pero no es la única". También menciona Temu, pensada para consumidores finales, y las ferias presenciales, como la de Cantón, donde conviven iluminación, tecnología, hogar, belleza y accesorios. La magnitud del mercado también habla por sí sola: "Hoy hay más de 60 millones de fábricas en China y tenemos posibilidad de elegir para ahorrar más dinero". Esa amplitud exige método. En ITG nunca se quedan con el primer proveedor que encuentran: "Siempre elegimos de 10 a 15 proveedores para verificar qué es lo que cada uno ofrece". El paso siguiente es la comparación, porque China puede ofrecer productos con tecnología muy elevada, pero la ecuación siempre debe incluir a quién se lo vas a vender. Elegir bien es un análisis comercial tanto como técnico. Para Andrés, la verificación es un principio irrenunciable: "Para verificar los proveedores tenemos que visitar las fábricas, ver la producción de los productos y testear la calidad". Esto no solo evita sorpresas: permite evaluar garantías, procesos y la capacidad real de respuesta ante problemas. "Siempre vamos un paso adelante antes de comprar y les consultamos cómo solucionan cualquier tipo de problema que pueda surgir", remarca nuestro invitado. Todo se aclara por adelantado. Una comunicación transparente es la base para proteger el capital y tener control de cada orden. Sin embargo, el contexto actual complica el juego. "Actualmente en China hay mucha variedad de calidades y eso dificulta la negociación", afirma Andrés. Cuando no se verifica en persona, la información visual puede engañar: "Si no verificas la producción personalmente, los proveedores te mandan las fotos y los videos, cargas los productos, llegan a tu país y ahí tienes el dolor de cabeza". Aunque es un negocio cada vez más accesible, proteger el patrimonio se vuelve más desafiante. "Cualquiera compra y trae productos, pero no siempre son de calidad", advierte nuestro experto. Los precios, además, nunca son absolutos: "Los precios van a depender de la calidad del producto". Por eso Andrés tiene una regla clara: "Si hago negocios con China a partir de los 5 mil dólares, yo verifico con la fábrica personalmente. Si es menos de eso, tomo el riesgo de comprar sin verificar". Y siempre negocia con una alternativa en mano: "Siempre me gusta negociar con un segundo proveedor, porque ahí tienes una opción válida". Su experiencia le dejó también límites muy precisos: "No compro productos reacondicionados, sino siempre nuevos, porque he tenido una mala experiencia porque los productos vinieron fallados". Mientras tanto, China avanza. "Se viene una revolución tecnológica impresionante y hay una gran oportunidad para los empresarios que queramos hacer una inversión en esas nuevas tecnologías", destaca nuestro invitado. El que esté preparado para identificar tendencias podrá adelantarse a la competencia. Para quienes están por importar por primera vez, Andrés es enfático: "Les aconsejo que busquen un acompañamiento empresarial de alguien que ya ha vivido esa experiencia y que los acompañe desde la compra hasta que llega a su bodega, porque sino se meten en una ruleta en la que pueden ganar o perder". La guía correcta, dice, protege el capital al 100%. Sin un foco claro ni una estructura de negocio, el riesgo se dispara y "terminas perdiendo dinero". Y recuerda un punto crucial para Latinoamérica: "En los países latinos hay mucho contrabando y para que lleguen los productos a su país deben tener cuidado". En el mundo de las importaciones, negociar no es solo hablar de precios: es tomar decisiones informadas, anticiparse a los riesgos y moverse con un plan. Para Andrés, esa es la única forma de convertir una oportunidad global en un negocio real y sostenible.
