On this episode of Christopher Lochhead: Follow Your Different, we have a dialogue with Steve Vassallo, a General Partner at Foundation Capital, to celebrate the firm's 30th anniversary and explore the evolution of venture capital (VC) in Silicon Valley. We discuss the shift of many traditional VC firms from early-stage investments to a more asset management-oriented approach. Steve Vassallo talks about the importance of maintaining a craft-oriented, personalized approach to VC, focusing on product excellence and effective distribution. He also highlights the current trends in AI and blockchain, urging founders to prioritize innovation and core product differentiation in a rapidly changing market. With nearly 18 years at Foundation Capital, Steve shares his unique insights into the changing landscape of venture capital, the importance of maintaining a craft-oriented approach, and the challenges faced by early-stage founders. You're listening to Christopher Lochhead: Follow Your Different. We are the real dialogue podcast for people with a different mind. So get your mind in a different place, and hey ho, let's go. Celebrating 30 Years of Foundation Capital Foundation Capital recently marked its 30th anniversary, a significant milestone in its journey. The firm has launched its 11th fund, a $600 million vehicle aimed at supporting extraordinary founders at the earliest stages of their ventures, particularly in the enterprise sector. Steve Vassallo adds that more than half of their investments focus on early-stage companies, including seed and Series A rounds, with a strong emphasis on technology, particularly in fintech and crypto. Steve Vassallo on the Changing VC Landscape Christopher and Steve Vassallo then discuss the evolution of VC firms, noting that many traditional firms have transformed into asset managers rather than remaining true venture capitalists. Steve points out that the percentage of capital raised by these firms for early-stage investments has dwindled significantly. He estimates that only about 20% of the capital raised by these larger firms is allocated to early-stage investments, with the majority directed towards growth-stage companies. In contrast, Foundation Capital dedicates approximately 70-80% of their recent fund to backing founders at the inception of their ideas. Steve humorously refers to these early-stage entrepreneurs as "pre-founders" or "pre-criminals," highlighting the raw potential and creativity that often characterize this stage of entrepreneurship. The Craft of Venture Capital Their conversation then moves to the notion that venture capital is fundamentally a craft business rather than a scalable factory-like operation. Christopher likens the venture capital process to crafting custom surfboards, where the quality and personal touch of the creator matter significantly. He argues that the best results come from a deep, personalized partnership with founders, rather than a one-size-fits-all approach. Reflecting on his own background in product design, Steve Vassallo adds that he initially believed that the best product would always win in the market. However, he quickly learned that effective distribution often trumps product quality. This realization was humbling for him, as he recognized the critical role that marketing and sales play in a product's success. He stresses that when extraordinary products are paired with exceptional distribution channels, remarkable outcomes can occur.

C'est un dessin à la Une de Libération à Paris : on y voit deux robots en train de faire la course, l'un américain, l'autre chinois… et derrière, un petit robot estampillé « France-Union Européenne », chevauché par Emmanuel Macron, qui tente désespérément de rattraper les deux autres…« La chasse à l'intelligence artificielle », titre le journal. « Chefs d'État et gratin mondial de l'IA se réunissent pendant deux jours (à Paris). Face au leadership américano-chinois, la France et l'Europe tentent de rester dans la course et la réguler ».Pour Le Figaro, « l'Europe ne peut pas passer à côté de la révolution de l'intelligence artificielle. Sa survie en dépend ».Le Figaro qui s'interroge : « l'Europe veut-elle se cantonner au rôle de régulateur en rédigeant les codes de la route des technologies conçues ailleurs ? Se contenter d'ériger des garde-fous pendant que d'autres bâtissent des empires ? Ou bien va-t-elle enfin comprendre qu'il est urgent de déverser des milliards et de faire tomber des barrières pour se doter d'infrastructures dignes de ce nom, de favoriser les alliances transfrontalières, de faire émerger ses propres titans technologiques en les aidant massivement, en capitaux et dans l'accès aux données ? Car l'enjeu dépasse largement la seule compétitivité économique, pointe encore Le Figaro : il s'agit d'une question de souveraineté. Un continent qui ne contrôle pas ses outils numériques devient dépendant, vulnérable, tôt ou tard une colonie numérique des puissances de la Silicon Valley ou de Shenzhen… »Un « contexte turbulent et incertain »Le Monde s'interroge : « ces efforts hexagonaux et européens sont-ils trop limités pour exister face aux puissances américaine et chinoise ? “L'exemple de DeepSeek montre qu'il n'y a pas besoin de centaines de milliards de dollars pour développer des IA. Et que, dans l'IA, tout n'est pas joué, répond-on à l'Élysée. Il reste énormément de transformations à venir, et la situation, la force des différents pays et start-up d'IA peuvent encore évoluer très rapidement“ ».Commentaire du Monde : « un optimisme de rigueur dans un contexte des plus turbulents et incertains ».« L'urgence d'une gouvernance mondiale de l'IA », s'exclame Le Soir à Bruxelles. Pour le quotidien belge, « au sommet de Paris, il sera crucial de choisir, collectivement, si l'IA sera un levier d'émancipation ou une menace incontrôlable. Laisser les géants de la tech décider à notre place n'est pas une option ».Macron se met en scène…Le Corriere Della Sera à Rome s'attarde, lui sur la vidéo diffusée samedi par l'Elysée, une vidéo créée grâce à l'intelligence artificielle et qui met en scène Emmanuel Macron… « Les images qui défilent, rigoureusement fausses, montrent un Macron sous diverses facettes, comme personne ne l'a jamais vu, relate le quotidien italien. Macron avec les cheveux longs donnant des conseils de beauté, Macron avec une coiffure des années 80, Macron dans une rave-party, Macron parlant de son amour pour les voitures dans une scène du film OSS117, Macron en rappeur, Macron habillé en femme… Et à la fin de cette vidéo, le président français explique à quoi sert le sommet international qui s'ouvre ce lundi à Paris : “plus sérieusement, dit-il, l'intelligence artificielle peut faire de grandes choses pour la santé, l'énergie et la vie en société. La France et l'Europe doivent être au cœur de cette révolution pour défendre les principes auxquels nous croyons" ».La France moteur européen de l'IA ?D'ailleurs, souligne le Corriere Della Sera, signe que l'Europe n'est pas à la traine : « l'assistant d'intelligence artificielle le plus rapide du monde est européen et s'appelle Le Chat. Il a été conçu par la société française Mistral en partenariat avec le fabricant de puces d'intelligence artificielle Cerebras Systems, soutenu par le conglomérat technologique émirati G42. (…) Et, affirme encore le quotidien italien, ce n'est qu'une des nouveautés qui émergent au sein de l'Union européenne, pour contrer la suprématie américaine en matière d'intelligence artificielle ».Et on revient au Monde à Paris, qui a publié ce week-end une tribune signée Sam Altman, le patron d'OpenAI, qui développe l'outil ChatGPT. Sam Altman affirme que la France est devenue un « centre névralgique de l'IA » sur le Vieux Continent.Pour lui, l'intelligence artificielle est indispensable pour stimuler l'économie. Et « si l'on veut de la croissance, des emplois et du progrès, affirme-t-il, il faut permettre aux innovateurs d'innover, aux bâtisseurs de bâtir et aux développeurs de développer. Le risque de l'inaction est trop grand pour être ignoré, c'est pourquoi le pays qui nous a apporté les Lumières (la France) prend aujourd'hui des mesures pour réussir sa transition vers l'ère de l'intelligence ».

In the end, they built the fastest AI accelerator, based on the largest processor in the industry.  Tune in to hear his story, his thoughts on building and selling companies, and his career advice for aspiring founders. Enjoy this episode.   Main Takeaways: - Pioneering Solutions to Big Problems: Andrew explains his love of tackling big problems where there “isn't a safety net” and his love of “fearless engineering.” He shares his experience searching for a solution that many thought couldn't be found.  - Artificial Intelligence: Andrew discusses his thoughts on AI, how it could be used for extraordinary good and how it will permeate every facet of our lives moving forward. - Building and Selling Companies: Andrew discusses his experience building, leading and selling companies, diving into his decision making process for when to sell. - Advice for Aspiring Entrepreneurs: Andrew provides advice for aspiring entrepreneurs and also dives into the mistakes that he has made along the way. He stresses the need to focus on the customer, to build trust within your team and to build the right professional network. Key Quotes: In my experience, these aren't sitting on a park bench with an idea arriving like a child from Zeus's head fully formed, right? That's not the way they come. You articulate a problem….What choices are available to you to solve this?  You have to decide in your career what sort of problems you're going to attack. And you have to decide if you're more afraid of failing in pursuit of a really interesting big problem or succeeding at a mediocre problem. I think like every technology, [AI] has the opportunity for tremendous good and tremendous evil, both. I'd say the same for nuclear power. I'd say the same for, you know, any number of monstrous technologies. It is that their very power can be used for good or for bad. And I think that the technologies in AI can be used for evil and the exact same technology can be used for such good, it's extraordinary. And so the challenge is on us to manage it. I think it's a tremendous mistake to build a company to sell it. I think it's a tremendous mistake to have a religious view that you have to go public. You are using other people's money in what we do. You are building a company in partnership with people who are lending you part of their career, and you're the steward of that. I think one of the things young people should think about is they see resumes and they see LinkedIn links and it's success, lots of bullets, another success, lots of bullets. I think you can just ignore all that because nobody puts up their failures. You know, bad idea, six months wasted on a bad idea, millions of dollars destroyed because of arrogance, right? Nobody puts that on their LinkedIn. And so you get this, sort of like the Instagram version of a career, perfect angles, perfect lighting filters done properly. But that's not really the way careers went.

EPISODE NOTESWiDS Executive Director Margot Gerritsen welcomes her new co-host, Cindy Orozco, in a wide-ranging conversation about their career paths and valuable learnings along the way. Cindy is thrilled to be joining as podcast co-host and believes that showcasing women at all stages of their careers shows that we “share the same fears or experiences every day. It's just that some of us have been on the path a little bit longer than others.” Cindy is an applied mathematician who is currently working as a machine learning solutions engineer at Cerebras Systems. Originally from Colombia, she loved applied math, and did a master's in civil engineering and mathematics from King Abdullah University of Science and Technology (KAUST), in Saudi Arabia, and a PhD in Computational and Mathematical Engineering from ICME at Stanford. She met Margot at Stanford and has been contributing to WiDS for many years at conferences, workshops and datathons.After answering some questions about herself, Cindy stepped right into her co-host role to interview Margot. A native of the Netherlands, Margot said her career path was similar to Cindy's as she started in math, got excited about applied math, and decided to study fluid mechanics. After getting her PhD at Stanford, she became a professor at the University of Auckland in New Zealand and then returned to Stanford where she has been a professor for 20 years. During this time, she has been an accomplished researcher, professor, mentor, and leader in the School of Earth, Energy & Environmental Sciences, the Institute for Computational & Mathematical Engineering (ICME), and Women in Data Science (WiDS).When asked how she managed to juggle all of these things, Margot said she learned to not worry about making mistakes or striving for perfection, saying, “80% is perfect”, adding “I always felt I can't have it all. So you make choices, and there's always something that's got to give.” Cindy agreed that the busier she is, the better she manages her time, and when you have many balls in the air, often what you learn in one area can help you solve problems in another. In discussing the “imposter syndrome”, Margot said she had often felt like an imposter, and soon discovered this was a common feeling among students and faculty at Stanford. And it's even stronger when you stand out, like a woman in STEM. It puts an extra burden on you to succeed to set the example for those who come after you. The pace of research in AI and deep learning contributes to feeling like an imposter. People publish very quickly and it's hard to understand what really good solid research is and what is just an idea. It gives people this sense that they're not on top. They forget the purpose of school is creating a lifelong interest in learning. “There's a lot of failure on the way to success. My favorite definition of an expert is somebody who's made every possible mistake.”RELATED LINKSConnect with Cindy Orozco on LinkedIN Find out more about Cerebras SystemsConnect with Margot Gerritsen on Twitter (@margootjeg) and LinkedInFind out more about Margot on her Stanford Profile

Innovators don't see limitations – they see challenges. And that's exactly what happened when Andrew Feldman and his team at Cerebras Systems were told that it was impossible to build a computer chip that could deliver the same performance as hundreds of graphics processing units. They tackled that challenge head-on, and have created the CS-2, the fastest AI computer in existence. This mega-sized chip is being used to tackle the world's most pressing problems. None of this would have been possible without a bit of audacity and what Andrew calls “fearless engineering”. Dive into the thought process of a status-quo challenger on this episode of IT Visionaries. Tune in to learn: What is Cerebras doing that others can't?

It's a bird, it's a plane, it's the largest AI processor ever made!  In this week's Fish Fry podcast, Andy Hock (Cerebras Systems) joins me to chat about the largest AI processor ever made -  the 7 nm wafer scale engine 2, the details of their brain-scale AI training, and how Cerebras Systems is democratizing access to high performance AI computation. Also this week, I check out a new kickstarter campaign called the SPORTSMATE 5: the world's first and lightest portable wearable robotic exoskeleton that aims to alter the way we interact with the world by applying exoskeletons to daily life.   

Demand for AI compute is growing faster than conventional systems architecture can match, so companies like Cerebras Systems are building massive special-purpose processing units. In this episode, Andy Hock, VP of Product for Cerebras Systems, joins Frederic Van Haren and Stephen Foskett to discuss this new class of hardware. The Cerebras Wafer-Scale Engine (WSE-2) has 850,000 processors on a single chip the size of a dinner plate, along with 40 GB of SRAM and supporting interconnects. But Cerebras also has a software stack that integrates with standard ML frameworks like PyTorch and TensorFlow. Although the trillion-parameter model is a real need for certain applications, platforms need to be flexible to support both massive-scale and more mainstream workloads, and this is a focus for Cerebras as well. Three Questions Frederic's Question: How small can ML get? Will we have ML-powered household appliances? Toys? Disposable devices? Stephen's Question: Will we ever see a Hollywood-style “artificial mind” like Mr. Data or other characters? Leon Adato, host of the Technically Religious Podcast: I'm curious, what responsibility do you think IT folks have to insure the things that we build are ethical?

Understanding intent represents a major milestone in the world of Artificial Intelligence. The practice of ascertaining a person's intent (or that of a machine, frankly) is similar to the long-standing discipline of predictive analytics, but it's arguably a deeper view into the psyche (or inner workings). This is just another way in which AI is transforming business. Check out this episode of DM Radio to hear host @eric_kavanagh interview several experts, including Andrew Feldman of Cerebras Systems, Chris Nicholson of Pathmind, and a special guest!
