AI Boom: A Venture Capital Insiders Perspective - Mel Williams, co-founder of TrueBridge Capital Partners, predicts the AI boom could be the most profitable period in venture capital history, but warns of significant startup failures. Williams, who invests in other venture capital funds, shares insights on the Uncapped podcast, noting the early AI investment stage is frothy with high valuations and little proof of product effectiveness. He highlights AIs power-law dynamics, where a few companies generate most returns, and the broader venture markets health outside of AI. Despite this, the AI sectors imbalance suggests a harsh correction and many failed companies.
