Add AI to your deck, add a zero to your valuation

Author: Equity Mates Media June 20, 2023 Duration: 13:56

Here's a headline: 4 week old AI startup raised $113 million dollars.


That's the amount for a company with no revenue, and no product, they managed to convince investors to put in more than $100 million dollars. It feels like the lyrics of a Dire Straits song…  Money for nothing. Today Alec and Sascha ask if they're missing something here... or is this a sign that AI hype is reaching fever pitch?

Ever feel like the business headlines are speaking a different language? The Dive | Business News cuts through the noise without the dry, technical jargon that can make finance feel inaccessible. Host Sascha Kelly and her colleagues at Equity Mates Media take a single, pressing question sparked by the day’s events and explore it with a conversational, thoughtful approach. They pull back the curtain on how market movements, corporate decisions, and economic shifts actually connect to everyday life.

It’s business news that remembers there are real people behind the charts and data.

This is a show for anyone curious about the forces shaping our world, who prefers explanation over exclusion.
