You've never seen a company grow 10x in gap revenue and runway year on year for three years. So you're leaning into the singularity here. Wall Street has decided this is the bet they want to make. Capital has decided this is the bet they want to make. People are going to try and make this bet. Wall Street fell in love with AI and to do that had to fall out of love with SaaS. Everybody should get a little bit of a grip and not extrapolate to the end, but whatever. That's the movie right now. Who wants to get back to early stage? I want to do the Anthropic round. Give me a fucking break. I don't want to like have to pick which accounting software in four years might break out for AI. No one wants to do that. Just show me

the carry. This is 20VC with me, Harry Stebbings. It is my favorite show of the week, Roryo Driscoll,

Jason Lampkin, analyzing the biggest news in tech that has gone down this week. Anthropic raises

$30 billion and a $380 billion post. OpenClaw creator Peter Steinberger joins Open AI. Thrive closes on a mega $10 billion fund, one for early, nine for growth. We also have Stripe versus ad yen, and then finally Apploving down 70% and Shopify getting no love.

What is going on in public markets?

But before we dive into the show today, I run the 20 VC fund and I get this question from founders

all the time.

Oh Harry, I can't find a good.com.

Do you have a good hookup? Well, let me tell you now, the answer is always going to be no. I can't find a good.com. Do you have a good hookup? Well, let me tell you now,

the answer is always going to be no. I don't have a guy or a gal for that. I do have a recommendation,

though. If you're building a tech startup, get a dot tech domain. Tech startup, dot tech domain.

It could not be more obvious. As an investor, I appreciate founders who put thought into

their branding. When I see dot tech in your name, it tells me right away that tech is at the core of

your build. It'll say that to your customers too. A clean and sharp domain like dot tech pays off in the long

run. You know nothing. Dot Tech, 1x. Dot Tech, Aurora. Tech. All of these great tech

companies, they all use Dot Tech as their domain. These are my two cents. If you're building a

tech startup, don't overthink it. Get a dot tech domain. While Dot Tech gives modern companies a home

online, checkout helps that home convert by turning traffic into revenue.

Digital commerce is exploding, but payments are still where revenue leaks.

Checkout.com launched in 2012 to fix that. They don't try and be everything to everyone.

No, they just do one thing better than anyone, digital payments, cloud native, sub 500 millisecond

latency and 99.999% uptime.
