In the past two years, the correlation has grown stronger from -0.46 correlation to -0.51.

There's no doubt generative AI models such as ChatGTP, BingChat, or GoogleBard can deliver massive efficiency benefits — but they bring with them major cybersecurity and privacy concerns along with accuracy worries. It's already known that these programs — especially ChatGTP itself — make up facts and repeatedly lie. Far more troubling, no one seems to understand why and how these lies, coyly dubbed "hallucinations," are happening.

I.e., who would give 10% of your company away to buy? It turns out this is an important threshold. The SEC generally defines this as “material”. It’s also enough of your company that everyone will suffer a lot of dilution, and enough that you can’t do more than a handful of these deals ever.

But what does it take to be a truly elite VC? And if you meet with a truly elite VC, what are they looking for? Truly elite VCs have Billion Dollar Positions.
