Dealflow is getting eaten on both ends, increasingly active HNWIs are the default first call for <$5M and anybody who needs >$100M can raise direct from what used to be institutional LPs Hard to see how the VC sector can continue in its current form, nobody wants to pay 2 and 20

Through the VOICE trial, Terry is using his Neuralink implant to help fine-tune a brain-to-voice interface for himself and others who can’t speak. He trained the algorithm first by miming speech as best he could, then by simply thinking the words and hearing them come out in his own natural voice. Powered by Grok Voice from @spacexai
