News Summary

• Last week I attended Startup Grind Global in Redwood City, CA.
• Here are my six key takeaways, grouped by theme.
• There was a lot of AI talk, so please bear in mind there is always going to be some hyperbole and exaggeration at conference talks.
• The pace of this change is what surprised me most though, with many speakers at Startup Grind labelling companies formed pre 2022 as “legacy companies” It certainly feels like a land-grab is underway with enterprises under pressure from their boards to pick their AI tools in the next 6-9 months.
