Many of the AI founders I've talked to this year that raised fantastic initial funding rounds are having trouble raising their next rounds. In this week's nerd processor, I wrote about why (and what else AI founders are experiencing). Getting to sustainable revenue in AI is hard because 1) AI has already become commoditized, 2) Incumbent big companies have more advantages than usual, and 3) At least in B2B, most potential customers haven't figured out how to reliably vet and buy AI tools yet.
