Another week, another podcast, another enjoyable time together.

These fly by.

Today we covered a lot of ground.

We kicked off with talking about how long until your next round.

So looking at some of the data of periods between raises and how that's changing and getting longer. We then expanded

that into some cool AI back tools that we've been using and how to use those to get some scale.

And what we're seeing is that whilst it's taking longer, deals are getting done. And we talked

about valuations

as staying in pre-bub of bit. Yeah, and then we touched on the work of Telstra Ventures, particularly

out of the US, and we talked about concentric Venn diagram circles of right versus happy versus

rich and how they might not overlap for all cases and scenarios. And that led us into a conversation around Tesla.

Yeah, a bit of Tesla, a bit of Elon, in terms of what's happening there and a few lessons that then led us to Twiggy Forest.

Can you believe it?

Now, whilst Fortescue and Twiggy is not the general topic, there are some lessons here for entrepreneurs in terms of what happens with high staff

turnover, what happens with disintegration internally and what we think entrepreneurs, especially

in high growth tech companies, can learn from that. Because ultimately, people follow people,

people, people join for people and people leave people. So let's get into it.

Good morning. Good morning. Morning.

Morning guys. Jack's back in a jumper. Yeah. That's our own weather.

So it's turned cold on you, has it, buddy?

Yeah, it was fresh this morning, but it's been really nice throughout the days, so I can't complain

with this weather.
