If you’ve been wondering why I’ve been a bit quiet these few weeks, it’s in part because I’ve been prepping for SXSW 2025.
In case it’s not clear, I’m not debuting a movie (I’m not Seth Rogen), nor am I performing at the music festival (please don’t ask me to try to name the artists).
Instead, I’m moderating a panel on AI!
Most AI Startups Are Doomed is still one of the most popular pieces on my Substack (only behind stuff that talks about CUDA). Now, I’ll get to revisit that topic—and beyond—with an all-star panel in Austin, TX.
I’m sure many of you already know
from (who I’ll also be doing an AMA-style Q&A session with on March 9th).Chidi Nwankpa (Principal at Gore Range Capital and Co-Founder of GlobalHealth AI), and Kartik Tiwari (Co-Founder of Andromeda Surgical, and previously CTO/Co-Founder of Starsky Robotics) are also going to be great voices to hear from on the current state of AI startups.
Click here on the official schedule to read their bios.
If you’re going out to it, please do attend on March 8, at 4-5 pm CT (Salon G in the Hilton Austin Downtown Hotel). I’ll also be around afterward too and would love to meet up with readers!
Otherwise, look for a recap of significant points coming up in the next few weeks!
