You're considering investing in a cutting-edge AI startup. How do you navigate the uncertainties involved?
Deciding to invest in an AI startup requires much of the same diligence one would use for any other investment; however, AI investments bring up more issues to consider because of the number of opportunities available and the velocity of technical evolution. What I would assess is: is the technology truly innovative & differentiated? Does the AI product fit a market need, does it solve a real problem? Does the company have access to enough data to train it properly? Can it scale at a reasonable cost - many AI solutions need large computational capability and can be costly to scale. Is there a large market for the solution? And most importantly, how good is the founding team? Do they have the right vision and track record? Hope this helps

What do you do if you want to transition from working at a Venture Capital firm to a startup?
To add to what my good friend Guy Nohra just posted, be aware of the differences - beyond the skill-set necessary to be CEO - that the two jobs entail. This transition will rely more on your EQ than your IQ; there will be a higher degree of reliance on your ability to influence rather than command; a shift in accountability (and who holds you accountable); a shift in responsibility; and a larger number of stakeholders (many of whom are convinced they know more/better than you). But, if you are up for it, being a CEO and leading a startup (or any company) to success, is one of the most gratifying jobs one can ever have. Go for it!

How can Executive Management professionals stay competitive in their field?
We live in a VUCA world (volatile, uncertain, complex and ambiguous), where tech innovation and new business models are continuing to challenge us to adapt and reinvent ourselves and our companies. Leaders and executive management need to be at the forefront of this change to stay competitive and thrive. When I work with executives I recommend they pay special attention to these few areas: - Become a life-long learner. Declare yourselves beginners in areas of expertise that are new and enjoy the knowledge you acquire. - Network, network, network. One of the best ways to increase your ability to generate effective action is to build powerful networks. - Adopt an entrepreneurial mindset and be willing to take risks. The upside could be huge!
