• Tips and strategies for running an M&A process as a founder, from someone who was on the Google M&A team.
• While AI has been quick to be introduced in the software development process (namely Github Copilot), the amount of “code churn” (code thrown out of the code base in less than 2 weeks) is on the rise.
• Examples of how one startup, Deel, is using AI in its internal workflows.

• The time it's taking startups to go from raising a seed round to raising a series A round is ~28 months now. Founders should plan accordingly.
• The Apple Vision Pro was released on Friday with people showing off some cool things they are doing with it (and not so cool). I’m excited to be picking up mine today!
