Fresh back from London! In this episode, Eric Newcomer reunites with co-hosts James Wilsterman and Max Child of Volley to dive into the best moments from the Cerebral Valley AI Summit.From buzzy startup founders to incumbent innovators, the London event showcased a rapidly evolving AI landscape. But what stood out most? Eric, James, and Max break down their favorite clips and debate the key questions driving the industry right now:Models vs. Applications: Are we back in a “models win” moment?The Uber Dilemma: Why did Uber spin off its self-driving technology instead of competing with Waymo? Dara Khosrowshahi's reasoning sparks a heated debate about platform dynamics, marketplace power, and whether Uber made the right call.Figma's IPO Moment: With their S-1 filing just days after the summit, Dylan Field defended Figma's AI strategy and new product launches.The Science of Discovery: Can AI models trained on “boring rule followers” actually make Nobel Prize-worthy breakthroughs?The End of Reading?: Synthesia's CEO made the boldest prediction yet — that kids won't read anymore, and video will replace text entirely.

De prijs van Bitcoin is weer flink gestegen en lijkt een nieuwe fase van de bullmarkt in te luiden. Begin deze week piekte de koers op 123.000 dollar en hoewel de munt iets terugzakte, was het herstel snel. Dat duidt op stevige vraag en weinig geduld bij kopers. Ook altcoins profiteren mee: Ethereum steeg 20 procent, XRP 25 procent, Dogecoin 17 procent en Solana 10 procent. Kleinere tokens lieten stijgingen tot wel 75 procent zien. Veel van die stijging lijkt speculatief, maar het laat vooral zien dat beleggers weer risico durven nemen. De Amerikaanse crypto-ETF’s varen ook wel bij het positieve sentiment. Bitcoinfondsen zagen een dagelijkse instroom van honderden miljoenen. Marktleider BlackRock bezit inmiddels meer dan 720.000 Bitcoin, goed voor ongeveer 80 miljard dollar. Opmerkelijk is dat het bedrijf meer verdient aan zijn Bitcoinfonds dan aan de S&P500-ETF, een van de grootste beleggingsproducten ter wereld. Ook de Ethereum-ETF’s laten eindelijk leven zien: met een nieuwe instroompiek staat het totaal aan beheerd vermogen nu op 11 miljard dollar. Tegelijkertijd is het ‘cryptoweek’ in het Amerikaanse congres, met stemmingen over drie wetsvoorstellen. De CLARITY-act moet helderheid geven over welke tokens onder effectenwetgeving vallen, de ANTI-CBDC-act moet een digitale dollar vanuit de overheid definitief blokkeren, en de GENIUS-act regelt het juridische kader voor stablecoins. Over die laatste wet ontstond tumult. Een groep MAGA-republikeinen verzette zich tegen de wet omdat zij vreesden dat de centrale bank alsnog een eigen stablecoin zou kunnen uitbrengen. Na een gesprek met Donald Trump draaiden elf van de twaalf zich echter om, waardoor de wet nu alsnog op voldoende steun kan rekenen. De Amerikaanse cryptosector bereidt zich ondertussen voor op de tussentijdse verkiezingen van 2026. In de vorige campagne gaven belangengroepen als Fairshake honderden miljoenen aan zowel Republikeinse als Democratische kandidaten. Inmiddels is er weer een oorlogskas van 141 miljoen dollar opgebouwd, mede dankzij een donatie van Coinbase. De sector lijkt dus opnieuw stevig in te zetten op politieke invloed. Tot slot blijkt dat de Verenigde Staten geen 200.000 maar slechts 29.000 Bitcoin in bezit hebben. Dat kwam aan het licht na een openbaarmakingsverzoek van een journalist. Trump had eerder aangekondigd die strategische reserve te willen behouden. De vraag is nu of hij zal proberen de ontbrekende munten alsnog aan te kopen. Bitcoin noteerde woensdagavond warrempel een nieuwe recordkoers: iets boven de 112.000 dollar. Inmiddels is de koers iets teruggezakt. Opvallend is dat daar geen échte retailhype omheen hangt. De vraag naar Bitcoin lijkt vooral te komen van bedrijven die massaal bitcoin inslaan voor op hun balans. Opmerkelijk is de aankoop van 70 miljoen dollar aan Bitcoin door designplatform Figma – zonder grote aankondiging of ronkend persbericht. Het lijkt steeds normaler te worden voor Amerikaanse bedrijven om in Bitcoin te stappen. Ethereum en XRP boekten deze week een winst van zo’n 10 procent. In Europa heeft de Spaanse grootbank BBVA een primeur. Als eerste grote Europese bank lanceert het een crypto-platform voor klanten. Via de bankapp kunnen gebruikers nu Bitcoin en Ethereum kopen en bewaren. De stap volgt na eerdere experimenten in Turkije en Zwitserland en betekent dat BBVA zich in eigen land profileert als koploper op het gebied van digitale assets. De bank spreekt de ambitie uit om in de toekomst ook stablecoins, getokeniseerde obligaties en fondsen aan te bieden. De Europese cryptowetgeving, bekend als MiCAR, speelt hierbij een belangrijke rol. Omdat banken als BBVA al onder streng financieel toezicht staan, kunnen ze relatief eenvoudig instappen. In Nederland blijft het vooralsnog stil: alleen Bunq biedt crypto aan, al zijn de kosten daar relatief hoog. Verder viel er iets bijzonders te zien op het Bitcoin-netwerk: een oude wallet met tachtigduizend Bitcoin, ter waarde van zo’n 8 miljard dollar, werd na meer dan een decennium weer actief. De munten dateren uit 2011, toen Bitcoin nog een nicheproject was. Op sociale media wordt gespeculeerd dat deze coins in handen zijn van Roger Ver, ook wel bekend als 'Bitcoin Jesus'. Hij raakte in ongenade na een scheuring binnen de bitcoingemeenschap en zit momenteel vast in Spanje wegens belastingontduiking. De munten lijken niet direct richting een beurs te zijn gestuurd, wat erop wijst dat ze vooralsnog niet verkocht worden. Mogelijk zijn ze enkel verplaatst naar een veiliger en nieuwer type adres. Deze week in de CryptocastEen gesprek met Ramon Korpel, over zijn project Bitcoin Babies. Hij steunt een groep moeders in Kenia met iedere week een kleine hoeveelheid bitcoin, terwijl hij hen én lokale ondernemers wat bijbrengt over de digitale munt. En hij gebruikt daarvoor het lighting network, de supersnelle tweede laag bovenop bitcoin. Co-host is Jacob Boersma. Met Daniël Mol bespreken we elke week de stand van de cryptomarkt.

Claude + Canva = ¿Diseñador personal?

FLASH DIARIO de El Siglo 21 es Hoy

Ahora Claude AI puede crear y editar diseños en Canva desde chats de inteligencia artificial Por Félix Riaño @LocutorCo Claude, el asistente de inteligencia artificial de Anthropic, ahora se integra con Canva y otras plataformas como Google Drive, Slack y Notion. Esta conexión permite automatizar tareas sin necesidad de escribir código, gracias al protocolo MCP. ¿Diseñar sin abrir Canva? Ahora es posible con Claude AI. La integración entre Anthropic y Canva permite crear, editar y automatizar diseños desde un simple chat. Esta función está disponible para quienes tengan planes pagos en ambas plataformas. No se trata de una simple novedad estética: es un paso hacia la automatización creativa total. Claude también puede conectarse con Stripe para leer reportes de pagos, con Notion para generar hojas de ruta de proyectos y con Slack para revisar conversaciones. Pero, ¿esto va a beneficiar a todos los usuarios por igual, o solo a quienes pagan la suscripción premium?  Diseñar con Claude suena mágico… pero no es gratis.  Desde hoy, cualquier persona con un plan pago en Claude y en Canva va a poder crear diseños gráficos con instrucciones en lenguaje natural. No es necesario cambiar de pestaña, abrir plantillas ni saber usar herramientas de diseño. Basta con escribirle a Claude algo como: “Haz una historia de Instagram con el resumen de ventas de julio”, y el asistente va a usar Canva para armarlo. La conexión entre ambas plataformas funciona gracias al MCP, el Protocolo de Contexto de Modelo, una especie de ‘puerto universal' para que los asistentes de IA interactúen directamente con tus aplicaciones sin explicaciones técnicas. El objetivo es que Claude se comporte como un asistente real que entiende tus herramientas, archivos y objetivos sin que tengas que copiar y pegar nada.    Esta integración entre Claude y Canva es potente, pero también plantea muchas preguntas. Para empezar, solo está disponible si tienes una cuenta paga en Claude, que cuesta 17 dólares al mes, y un plan de Canva Pro, que vale 15 dólares mensuales. Y claro, esto no es exclusivo: Claude también se conecta con Notion, Stripe, Google Drive, Slack, Prisma, Figma, Socket y más. ¿El resultado? Una especie de escritorio invisible, donde todo ocurre por instrucciones de voz o texto. Aunque puede parecer una maravilla de productividad, también significa que la IA puede acceder a tus archivos, proyectos y hasta a tus pagos, siempre que tú lo autorices. ¿Pero hasta dónde vamos a delegar el control de nuestras herramientas?  Anthropic ha lanzado un directorio interactivo de conectores, accesible desde la app web o de escritorio de Claude. Allí, cualquier usuario va a poder explorar qué aplicaciones están disponibles para conectar, activar la integración con un clic, y empezar a trabajar con Claude como si fuera parte de su equipo. Por ejemplo, los usuarios pueden crear un diseño en Canva desde un brief escrito en el chat, generar publicaciones automáticas para redes sociales o convertir un reporte de Stripe en una infografía. Este paso convierte a Claude en el primer asistente de IA capaz de manejar tareas creativas directamente dentro de Canva, algo que ni ChatGPT ni Gemini han conseguido hasta ahora. El sistema funciona en navegadores y también en el escritorio, lo que abre puertas para automatizar acciones locales en tu computador.   MCP, el Protocolo de Contexto de Modelo, es la clave detrás de todo esto. Anthropic lo presentó en noviembre de 2024 como una forma de estandarizar cómo los modelos de lenguaje acceden a otras aplicaciones. Es como el USB-C de la inteligencia artificial: una vez conectada la app, la IA puede acceder de forma segura a tus datos, pero solo a lo que tú autorizas. Esto resuelve uno de los grandes problemas de la IA: el contexto. Hasta ahora, pedirle algo a un asistente implicaba explicar todo desde cero. Ahora, Claude puede ver lo mismo que tú y actuar con base en eso. Y no se trata solo de Canva: otras empresas como Wiley y Panopto ya lo están usando para integrar tareas editoriales y de contenido. En lugar de reemplazar a las personas, la promesa es que Claude se convierta en un colaborador útil, pero con acceso limitado y controlado.—  Claude ahora puede usar Canva y otras herramientas como si fueran extensiones de su chat. ¿Es el futuro de la productividad o un privilegio para suscriptores premium? Cuéntamelo tú. Y no olvides seguir el pódcast Flash Diario en Spotify. Claude ya diseña en Canva desde un chat. Pero solo si pagas los dos servicios. ¿Vale la pena?

In Episode 169 of The Investor Professor Podcast, Dr. Ryan Peckham and co-host Cameron take stock of the wild ride that was the first half of 2025. From a market nose-dive in April to a remarkable recovery and new all-time highs, the duo unpacks the key events that shaped investor sentiment, including political shakeups, tariff turbulence, anchoring bias, and the velocity of market swings. With the S&P 500 now up over 5% year-to-date, they examine how investor psychology and retail participation continue to drive volatility—and how disciplined strategies like dollar-cost averaging remain the antidote to reactive behavior.The episode also touches on Amazon Prime Day, new IPO momentum (including Figma's blockbuster numbers), the return of SPACs, and the looming impact of interest rates and political appointments on the back half of 2025. Beyond markets, Cameron shares personal updates—including his upcoming MBA journey—while Ryan reflects on goals, growth, and the importance of making the most of the year's second half.

Why a Design System Is Your UX Superpower

In the last lesson, I talked about the four types of UX resources that can help you scale your influence across the organization. This time, we're going to zero in on one of the most powerful tools at your disposal: the design system.If you want to move from being an implementer to a UX leader, someone who empowers others to create better experiences, a good design system is your best ally. It makes user-centered design easier for everyone else. That, in turn, frees you up to focus on the bigger picture.Let's talk about why that matters and what makes a design system truly useful.Why Design Systems Matter (Even if You Think You've Got One)I'm not just talking about a Figma file with some buttons and colors. I mean a real design system. One that's robust, well-documented, and tightly integrated with your development process.Because, people across your organization need to visualize, prototype, and test ideas quickly. If they're constantly reinventing layouts or relying on you to build everything, you become the bottleneck. A good design system short-circuits that by giving them the building blocks to create user-friendly interfaces without needing to be UX experts.That helps in several ways:Speed: Reusable components make it faster to go from idea to mockupConsistency: Interfaces follow the same design logic, reducing confusion and frictionScalability: Teams don't need to wait on you to build every screenBuilt-in best practice: Accessibility and UI standards are baked inBut for any of that to work, you've got to go beyond just handing over a Figma file.What Makes a Design System Effective?It's easy to underestimate what goes into a good design system. But if you want others to use it correctly and confidently, it needs to tick a few critical boxes.Clear DocumentationThink brand guidelines, but for components. Your team needs to know how and when to use each item. That includes the "dos and don'ts" and examples of what not to do. Misusing components is common. Like placing white text on pale backgrounds or combining elements in awkward ways. A few screenshots can save a lot of confusion.Developer-Friendly IntegrationDesign systems shouldn't just work for designers. Developers need to be able to take what they see in Figma and translate it into code. That means making component names and logic consistent between tools. Ideally, it also includes code snippets they can copy directly.Reusable Code ComponentsIf you've got a design system in Figma but no matching code components in your front-end library, you're only halfway there. Work with engineering to make sure each design element has a reusable, implementable counterpart in code.Modular and MaintainableYour system needs to grow with your organization. Whether you're rebranding or adding new features, your design system should make updates easier, not harder. Modular components help with that and make it easier to iterate as standards evolve.Governance and Ongoing OwnershipThis isn't a "set and forget" resource. A design system needs love and maintenance. Set up lightweight processes for reviewing and updating it regularly. That might mean assigning someone ownership or scheduling a quarterly design system review.You Don't Need to Build It All at OnceA solid design system is a powerful investment. But it doesn't need to be perfect or comprehensive from day one. Start small. Pick a few high-use components like buttons, form fields, and modals, and document those well. Build from there as your needs and capacity allow.The important part is getting something usable into people's hands as early as possible.Your Action StepStart by taking inventory. What components or styles are you re-creating over and over again? Could you package those into a starter design system for others to use?Next time, we'll talk about the tools you can provide that make research, testing, and prototyping much easier for your colleagues.

Hablamos del talento en IA: Apple acaba de crear sus “Super-Intelligence Labs” y pone sobre la mesa cheques de ocho dígitos para seducir a cerebros que hoy trabajan en OpenAI, una maniobra que Meta y otras big tech se apresuran a imitar. De ahí pasamos a desnudar las tripas de Figma y su S-1: 821 millones de ARR, un crecimiento del 48 % y márgenes brutos del 90 %, aunque con una factura anual en AWS que ronda los 100 millones. Compartimos, además, las lecciones de organización de producto extraídas de un gigante europeo con miles de ingenieros: OKRs bien planteados, “tríos” que combinan diseño, ingeniería y negocio, y managers que por fin cargan objetivos reales.También hablamos sobre los riesgos del trabajo remoto: entrevistas atendidas por bots, identidades falsas y los métodos para detectar fraudes antes de que el equipo pague las consecuencias. Volvemos a la luz con la adrenalina de los prototipos y los deadlines semanales: enseñar maquetas y vídeos cada viernes convirtió un proyecto etéreo en un motor de hype colectivo.

Crypto Update: Plots een nieuwe recordkoers voor Bitcoin

Bitcoin noteerde woensdagavond warrempel een nieuwe recordkoers: iets boven de 112.000 dollar. Inmiddels is de koers iets teruggezakt. Opvallend is dat daar geen échte retailhype omheen hangt. De vraag naar Bitcoin lijkt vooral te komen van bedrijven die massaal bitcoin inslaan voor op hun balans. Opmerkelijk is de aankoop van 70 miljoen dollar aan Bitcoin door designplatform Figma – zonder grote aankondiging of ronkend persbericht. Het lijkt steeds normaler te worden voor Amerikaanse bedrijven om in Bitcoin te stappen. Ethereum en XRP boekten deze week een winst van zo’n 10 procent. In Europa heeft de Spaanse grootbank BBVA een primeur. Als eerste grote Europese bank lanceert het een crypto-platform voor klanten. Via de bankapp kunnen gebruikers nu Bitcoin en Ethereum kopen en bewaren. De stap volgt na eerdere experimenten in Turkije en Zwitserland en betekent dat BBVA zich in eigen land profileert als koploper op het gebied van digitale assets. De bank spreekt de ambitie uit om in de toekomst ook stablecoins, getokeniseerde obligaties en fondsen aan te bieden. De Europese cryptowetgeving, bekend als MiCAR, speelt hierbij een belangrijke rol. Omdat banken als BBVA al onder streng financieel toezicht staan, kunnen ze relatief eenvoudig instappen. In Nederland blijft het vooralsnog stil: alleen Bunq biedt crypto aan, al zijn de kosten daar relatief hoog. Verder viel er iets bijzonders te zien op het Bitcoin-netwerk: een oude wallet met tachtigduizend Bitcoin, ter waarde van zo’n 8 miljard dollar, werd na meer dan een decennium weer actief. De munten dateren uit 2011, toen Bitcoin nog een nicheproject was. Op sociale media wordt gespeculeerd dat deze coins in handen zijn van Roger Ver, ook wel bekend als 'Bitcoin Jesus'. Hij raakte in ongenade na een scheuring binnen de bitcoingemeenschap en zit momenteel vast in Spanje wegens belastingontduiking. De munten lijken niet direct richting een beurs te zijn gestuurd, wat erop wijst dat ze vooralsnog niet verkocht worden. Mogelijk zijn ze enkel verplaatst naar een veiliger en nieuwer type adres. Deze week in de CryptocastIn de Cryptocast deze week een gesprek met Fenna de Blaauw van crypto-exchange Gemini. Ze legt uit hoe Gemini inspeelt op de nieuwe Europese regelgeving en waarom Amerikaanse bedrijven blij zijn met het regelgevend kader uit Brussel.

In this episode, Matt Cohen and John Ruffolo cut through the noise to unpack the latest economic headlines and policy shifts reshaping North America's business landscape. From Canada's surprise repeal of the Digital Services Tax to Brookfield's launch of an evergreen private equity fund, this episode dives deep into the forces driving change in trade, finance, and innovation.Will Canada's late-stage policy reversal strengthen its position in U.S. trade talks? Are evergreen funds the next big wave in private equity? And how will digital-only banks and stablecoins reshape the future of finance? Tune in for all that and more!Canada's Digital Services Tax Repealed at the 11th Hour (00:14)Just hours before the June 30th collection date, Canada repealed its controversial 3% digital services tax to clear the runway for renewed trade negotiations with the U.S. Matt and John unpack the political optics, the timing missteps, and why this repeal might've come too late to score real leverage in the upcoming Carney-Trump summit.Trade Tensions and a Pivot Away from U.S. Exports (02:50)With U.S. tariffs still biting Canadian industries like steel, aluminum, and autos, exports to non-U.S. markets jumped 5.7% in May. John analyzes the long-term risks and what a 10% tariff “compromise” could mean for Canadian trade policy moving forward.Brookfield's Evergreen Fund: Liquidity vs. Strategy (06:37)Brookfield's launch of a new evergreen private equity fund is raising eyebrows. These liquid investment vehicles are tailored for high-net-worth investors, but could they undermine Brookfield's traditional closed-end funds? Matt and John discuss the tradeoffs and potential disruption to institutional capital models.Stablecoins, Erebor & The Future of Banking (10:53)With the launch of Erebor, a new U.S. digital-only bank backed by Palmer Luckey, Peter Thiel, and Joe Lonsdale, the open banking revolution is heating up. But will Canada get left behind amid regulatory hesitations? The duo explores how stablecoins and crypto-native banks are reshaping the financial ecosystem.The “Big Beautiful Bill”: Trillions in U.S. Spending (13:56)At nearly 1,000 pages and $4.85 trillion, the latest U.S. tax and spending package is a behemoth. John calls out some of the more controversial provisions, like Section 899, a “revenge tax” aimed at foreign investors, and weighs in on what this means for the U.S. deficit and global investment climate.Figma Files to Go Public: A Product-Led Rocketship with a Caveat (16:49)Figma's S-1 filing reveals eye-popping growth: $750M in 2024 revenue, 91% gross margins, and 90% of the Fortune 500 on board. But one number raised eyebrows, its definition of net revenue retention. Is the 132% figure misleading? Matt and John dissect the metrics and what investors need to know.Anthropic & OpenAI's Revenue Explosion (19:39)AI darlings Anthropic and OpenAI are shattering expectations, with annualized revenues of $4B and $10B, respectively. What's fueling this growth, and is it sustainable? Matt and John assess the trajectory and strategic implications for the broader AI race.Meta's Talent War: $300M Signing Bonuses & AI Domination (20:30)Meta's aggressive push into AI includes poaching top OpenAI talent with eye-watering offers reportedly reaching $300M. Is this visionary investing, or panic-mode recruiting? The conversation digs into the implications of Meta's superintelligence ambitions and the high-stakes battle for AI supremacy.Microsoft Layoffs: AI Efficiency or Budget Strategy? (22:52)With Microsoft cutting 9,000 jobs, questions swirl around whether AI-driven efficiencies or strategic capital reallocation are the real drivers. John shares his take on what this means for enterprise software, consulting firms, and the future of knowledge work.As the tides of global economics, innovation, and technology continue to shift, Tank Talks is your front-row seat to the big moves shaping our world.

Welcome back to another episode of the EUVC Podcast, your trusted inside track on the people, deals, and dynamics shaping European venture.This week, Dan Bowyer and Mads Jensen of SuperSeed and Lomax from Outsized Ventures, gather to unpack the macro forces and micro signals shaping European tech and venture.They sit down to break down the two sides of the IPO market: the soaring optimism behind Figma's public debut — and the deep freeze that's hit London listings harder than at any time since before the dot-com crash.They also unpack what Figma's $730M paper loss means, how vertical AI is the next generation of SaaS, and what the UK must fix to stand a chance in the global listings race.If you're investing, building, or just trying to make sense of the markets this summer — this one's for you.Here's what's covered02:30 | AI infra's moment & CoreWeave hypeWhy infra plays like CoreWeave and Circle have the market buzzing — but vertical AI is where the next SaaS returns lie.04:50 | Figma's $730M paper loss explainedMad breaks down the headline figure, the failed Adobe deal, the FTC veto, and why this IPO is about fundamentals — not hype.08:20 | Tender offer drama & employee moraleHow Figma's $20B exit fizzled — and the May 2024 tender to keep teams motivated ahead of listing.12:00 | Figma as a bellwether for design & vertical AIWhy product-led SaaS is shifting toward deep vertical AI workflows — and what that means for investors.15:45 | London: the slowest IPO H1 in nearly 30 yearsCounter to the US's $9B+ haul in 12 deals, London managed just $160M across five listings. A brutal gap.18:10 | Worse than dot-com. Worse than ‘08.Dan & Mad put the numbers in perspective: this is the weakest stretch since before many listeners were born.26:15 | Dual-class shares & free float: too little too late?Why tweaking share classes & float minimums is more copy-paste than innovation — and not the real fix.35:20 | The ESG paradox & listing tensionWhere does London's ESG edge help — and where does it push big companies abroad?40:15 | US vs UK capital markets: talent, trust & scaleWhy founders and funds still flock to New York — and the structural advantages London must address.44:30 | Can London fight back?What would it actually take to make London relevant again for growth listings? Dan's realist take.50:00 | Lessons from Figma for foundersWhy strong fundamentals still matter — and how the tender saga shows the cost of employee trust.55:00 | The vertical AI playbook: Europe's edge?Where Europe's sector expertise might win if it can get capital markets working again.

The dashboard in your car – the interface on your Zoom screen … many of the products we interact with every day were created with the collaborative software Figma. Figma is a kind of Google Docs for design, created by Dylan Field and Evan Wallace after they won a Thiel fellowship in 2012. Dylan was just 20 when he became CEO. The only other job he'd had before that….? was college intern. He eventually figured out how to manage his team, and grew the company enough to attract a 20 billion dollar acquisition bid from Adobe. The deal fell through, but Figma continued to grow, and recently filed for an IPO.This episode was researched and produced by Kerry Thompson with music composed by Ramtin Arablouei.
