| 0:00.0 | their training costs are a quarter of Open AI. It really feels like the investors in Open |
| 0:04.1 | AI got a much worse deal in the last round than the Anthropic ones did. I taught the acquisition |
| 0:08.2 | of a TPBN was just insane. I'm going to call bullshit on start to finish on this whole discussion. |
| 0:16.7 | Owning a media asset invariably takes way more time than you think for way less money than you |
| 0:21.5 | expect. See Jeff Bezos for details. There's no way that deal is going to happen today. |
| 0:26.0 | Like it's dead because of management change. The big three, SpaceX plus Open Eye plus Anthropics, |
| 0:31.9 | assuming they all IPO, I mean certainly SpaceX will in the next 12 months. Their value at IPO |
| 0:36.1 | will exceed every other IPO for the last 20 |
| 0:39.7 | years. This is 20VC with me, Harry Stebbings. It's my favorite show of the week, Roryo Driscoll, |
| 0:44.9 | Jason Lemkin, analyzing the biggest news in tech every week. So what do we have on the agenda this |

| 1:17.6 | Your team needs insights, not just data lookups, the stuff that really matters, and it's critical to get it right, |
| 1:23.6 | like cat payback periods and net dollar retention. |
| 1:26.6 | For AI agents to act on your company data, they need your business context, your definitions, your logic, your permissions, |
| 1:32.3 | and that's what Omni's governed context graph provides. |
| 1:35.3 | Your data team defines it once, then anyone, your Opslead, your CFO, your PM, can ask a question in English and get an answer in seconds. |
| 1:44.8 | Perplexity, Mercury and DBT run on Omni. |
| 1:48.1 | And 20 VC listeners get a free three-week trial, three-week, very specific, not a month, but three weeks. |
