I am not going to get political here and debate on the merits of social responsibility. But a tweet by journalist Ben Collins revealed the reality of the venture capital industry. Collins pointed out that Andreessen’s firm pivoted from crypto/Web3 to American military and defense contractor technology. It is true. Venture capital almost always follows where the profits are. That’s capitalism, right? After crypto/Web3 flamed out, the conflicts around the world (USA-China tensions, Russia-Ukraine war, and more recently, Hamas-Israel) have sparked a new interest in defense technology. Namely, the American military watched how the Russia-Ukraine war played out. It realized that quantity matters. But the problem is that the military hasn’t commoditized hardware. For example, most of the hardware components in the computing industry are a commodity. You can plug in virtually any router to run the Internet in your home. What matters is software that runs on the Internet. As a result, you can mass-produce routers and bring costs down. Things are different with the military. They don’t use standards for all military equipment. Every machine has its own chips, components, and designs that cannot be mass-produced and used by other equipment. Sure enough, the Air Force’s next-gen bomber, the B-21 Raider, is estimated to cost $700 million per aircraft. What if a part doesn’t work in the aircraft? It cannot be printed by 3D printers or borrowed from other equipment to replace. Meaning? Higher cost. Silicon Valley views this as an industry ripe for disruption. But is it a patriotic move? Yes and no. With the higher interest rates, deals become harder to get for startups. They start to look at the defense industry as an attractive customer because the government has a budget that generally doesn’t get cut quickly. And they are a reliable customer. What’s more, the government is much more motivated to work with startups after witnessing the success of the partnership of NASA with SpaceX and other private startups. And of course, geopolitical tensions make the government want to revamp older processes. Defense Secretary Ash Carter recently visited Ben Horowitz, co-founder and general partner at Andreessen Horowitz, in Silicon Valley. Andreessen Horowitz wrote that “we are in the early stages of a generational defense cycle.” - “We are in the early stages of a generational defense cycle that requires unconventional thinking and tools. The invasion of Ukraine highlights this evolution: comparatively low-cost weapons, from drones to precision artillery, are leveraging cutting-edge networks, like SpaceX’s Starlink, to redefine battlefields. Meanwhile, a new variable — attritable tech — is emerging. The implications are upending how militaries fight,” wrote Andreessen Horowitz. In fact, the value of venture capital deals in aerospace and defense tech was greater in a single year for each of 2021 and 2022 than in all of 2010 through 2019 combined. That’s a massive increase in funding, right? At the same time, deal activity for crypto/Web3 plummeted in the last few months: Here’s the takeaway here: Andreessen Horowitz shared some incredible insights on how the defense industry can start thinking like Silicon Valley. There’s only one reason – there is a lot of money to be made in that sector. Venture capitalists will always follow where the profits are, period. While the defense sector gets increased attention, the amount of money it receives is little compared to artificial intelligence. Dollars raised for AI companies outpaced funding totals in every other category of tech. It received $17.9 billion in funding for the third quarter alone. It was up by 27% from last year’s same period – despite a more difficult fundraising environment for other sectors. There can only be one reason why: Venture capitalists believe artificial intelligence is going to unlock a new wave of profit opportunities. Today, you can tap into this opportunity as a venture capitalist. We are about to launch arguably the most important innovation for retail investors of this generation. Namely, our team of engineers has been building a new AI platform with the goal of turning it into the automated trading platform of the future. Why is it important? For a long time, retail investors have lacked access to elite hedge funds that offer alpha returns for their wealthy clients. For the top 1%, they only need to put their money in these top hedge funds and enjoy alpha returns. But these hedge funds wouldn’t trade for retail investors. They are too small. As a result, retail investors cannot enjoy alpha returns like wealthy clients since commercial banks’ investment services are largely mediocre. With our automated trading platform, our goal is to offer alpha returns through automated trading while making fees cheap for the masses. We believe it is a service that every retail investor deserves. You can own private shares in the AI platform that we are building, but your time is limited because we expect shares to run out quickly once the platform is launched. So, go ahead and reserve a time with our team to learn more about this opportunity: Jon Stone CEO [TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THIS EXCLUSIVE OFFER]( No longer want to receive these emails? [Unsubscribe](.
