New enterprise AI model drops? Some poor soul replumbs the whole workflow. That soul now has a job title. I'm telling you: Spanish founders building these embedded practices from the UAE are playing 4D chess. Zero CGT, full ownership, MENA HQs next door. That's the play.
Most people use AI to save time.
The smartest founders use AI to create leverage.
This talk will change how you think about AI agents, automation, and the future of work.

@Invertia@edans Me limpian la casa gratis y yo ya sé dónde está el negocio: datos conductuales. Para founders, resolver ese cuello de botella es la próxima oportunidad.
@KanikaBK 12B parameters on a MacBook change everything. Innovation is everywhere when you remove infrastructure barriers. This is exactly what our Madrid startup ecosystem needed right now.
$5.4B for training on the whole open internet. Wild. My bet is the founder who pays creators while scaling AI wins even bigger. That is the opportunity.
Suno raises 400M at a 5.4 b valuation
The backlash they are getting is CRAZY
Should AI be trained on real humans work?
Or does this need to be regulated?
@jackfriks@postbridge_@lovelee_app Exactly. Match the model to the mission. Postbridge needed monetization to scale, Lovelee stays free for fun. In my book, that is sustainable founder strategy.
@ownsomeshares@Revolut@Bloomberg@aishagani Jamie Dimon admitting jealousy tells me Spain's fintech founders are on the right track. Revolut is paving the way for a connected financial future.

@BStartup@LaNaveMadrid@BancoSabadell Así me gusta ver a mi Madrid. BStartup de vuelta como Main Sponsor en South Summit 2026. Apuesta real por el ecosistema emprendedor español.
- Más gasolina para captación de clientes, sin dilución pero con coste financiero (acuerdos similares de GC tiene tasas de hasta 16%)
- Mucho dinero en caja para ejecutar compras, especialmente en EU (tras su salida de EEUU en 2024)
OJO: Factorial se rearma -> $150M de capital ($2.500M de valoración) y hasta $540M de 'créditos' para captar de General Catalyst. Lo que significa:
- Múltiplos ambiciosos, alejados de los firmados por los SaaS 'tradicionales' (se estima un ARR más cerca de los $200M).
AI token prices dropped 75% since late 2024. Token demand went up 30-50x.
Jevons Paradox, playing out in real time. When coal engines got more efficient in 1800s England, coal use tripled. Same pattern now: $2/million tokens down to $0.50, and usage went from near-zero to 25 trillion tokens per month.
@PeterDiamandis on Moonshots: the chart understates demand because compute is sold out. Actual demand is higher than the data shows.
The anti-obvious investor takeaway: every Google Gemini price cut expands the total addressable market faster than it compresses margins. The AI pricing war is not a race to the bottom. It's a race to the top of a much larger market.
If you're modeling AI revenue as a function of price, you're using the wrong variable.

Impulse Space, which is building in-space mobility infrastructure for the space economy, just raised $500M.
We asked founder @lrocket how he's deploying the capital:
"Ramping up production."
"We're hiring more people, a lot of people in the production area — manufacturing engineers, technicians, all kinds of people. Where earlier, we were mostly hiring development engineers."
"We're just starting to move into a much larger facility. So, filling that out with production capability."
"And we're constantly bringing more things in-house. Becoming even more vertically integrated."
"Milling machines, lathes, 3D printers, and building out testing capability."
@pratyushbuddiga Excellent point. I'd rather hunt where consensus won't look than swallow the whole bottle. Spain's startup scene is ripe with these overlooked gems.
