It's Prediction Week 👀 You ready?

Our AI robot friend Axel sure is...

I’m legit, YC should buy Westfield mall and make it into startup land.

Office park, food court, maybe even housing.

VCs would set up offices in there. Then ancillary service providers.

All the little startup would sell to each other.

SaaS / AI Shenzhen.

Last appraised at $200m?

A steal.

Would completely change downtown.

.@Edgedive helps you understand what your customers are actually saying.

They make it simple to collect, tag, and synthesize all incoming feedback from every channel (linked to your CRM) so you can focus on building something people want.

The new standard for early stage companies is real initial traction and revenue to be fundable.

AI just makes it too easy to get a useful product into the market with zero capital.

Failing to have those early customers before attempting to raise is now a massive red flag.
