CrowdStrike's $10B Vision & Navan's IPO: The AI Gold Rush Is Far From Over.
Update: 2025-09-21
Description
Introduction:
In this episode, we explore some of the most significant developments at the intersection of AI and industry innovation. Apple’s new A19 Pro chip integrates AI directly into its GPU, marking a strategic shift away from longtime partners Qualcomm and Broadcom and signaling a new era for on-device AI performance and future AI-native applications. We then turn to Navan, the travel tech startup that now handles 50% of its user interactions through AI as it files for a Nasdaq IPO, challenging incumbents like SAP Concur with a high level of automation that could reshape enterprise software competition. Next, we examine Airbus’s pause on its CityAirbus electric plane due to battery density challenges, and how US-backed startups are gaining momentum by pivoting to hybrid propulsion systems—an engineering compromise that may redefine the future of sustainable aviation and innovation leadership. CrowdStrike’s ambitious projection to hit $10 billion in revenue by 2031, driven by acquiring AI security platform Pangea and launching a new AI Detection and Response category, highlights a bold AI-native security strategy poised to disrupt rivals such as Palo Alto Networks. Finally, we discuss how a dramatic 98% cost reduction in AI model adoption is pushing fashion brands toward automation, sparking protests from creatives and calls for UK regulation, reflecting the broader debate on AI’s impact on copyright and the creative industries’ future.
