We've been busy delving into a new take on the Future of Work for a very underserved segment of the population: Boomers. By 2030, the entire Boomer population will have hit retirement age and Americans 65+ will outnumber those under 18. This has huge implications for the economy.
It also forces us to rethink retirement and enable a “third act” for seniors, one where they can keep learning, keep earning, keep socially-engaged and contributing to the nation’s economic growth.
We have some thoughts on how to make this happen: bbgventures.medium.com/the-f…

We were excited to see that the top verticals for VC investment in female-founded cos in @PitchBook's VC Female Founder Year in Review were B2B services, software and pharma & bio -- along the lines of those we called out in our post last year: medium.com/bbg-ventures/less…
As we reported, a larger portion of BBGV Fund III’s MOIC is driven by B2B vs. B2C. Our data and @pitchbook’s shows female founders continue to solve real world problems that impact millions at scale via increasingly B2B & tech focused companies.
If you’re a female founder solving a big problem, whether it's B2B, B2B2C (or B2C!) -- reach out, we’d love to meet you! 📩[email protected]
We're excited about Personal AI's MODEL-2 and invested in their seed round because we saw the promise of personal (aka small, personal language models) in AI. We think about this as personal intelligence versus general intelligence– and that's the future of AI for individuals.
🌍 Hello AI World 🌍
Here is the MODEL-2 update to our foundational Personal Language Model (PLM).
With MODEL-2, we are bringing in long-short memory 🧠, multi-persona 👥, multimodal 🌐, and multi-channel 📡 experiences to your own personal AI.
Designed to train trusted digital twins unique to an individual's proprietary data, our PLM outperforms other models in professions where accuracy, attribution, and authenticity are key factors.
