It's not just FTX. Every VC I catch up with has a quiet story of fraud in their portfolio. Numbers that were sort of made up usually. Most won't ever be discussed or end up public. — Jason Be Kind Lemkin (@jasonlk) November 10, 2022. I’ve had the privilege to invest one way or another in about 35 SaaS companies, both as a VC and as angel. 6 have become decacorns and unicorns, and 3 have sold for $1B+ cash.

I’ve been CEO of two startups and on the board of about ten. That means I’ve presented a lot of operating plans to boards. It also means I’ve had a lot of operating plans presented to me.

The biggest technology-driven trend to affect business in the coming years is synthetic media. Yet this phrase is rarely even uttered in boardrooms and on Zoom meetings. It’s time to clarify what synthetic media is, and why it’s going to be so impactful.

We can all agree that the last few months have been turbulent and unpredictable across all industries.
