    Thrive Capital's Bet on Neuralink, OpenAI & the Future of Medicine

    Dr. Nworah Ayogu, MD, MBA, Partner at Thrive Capital, joins Sourcery to discuss how AI is transforming drug discovery, medicine, and the economics of healthcare. A Harvard-trained physician, founding team member of Cityblock Health, former General Manager of Amazon Clinic and first Chief Medical Officer of Amazon Pharmacy, Nworah is now a partner at Thrive Capital. The investment firm has grown to over $65bn in AUM and its healthcare portfolio includes Neuralink, Nudge, Isomorphic Labs, OpenEvidence, OpenAI, Oscar Health, and Cadence. We cover AI's potential to accelerate drug development, Isomorphic Labs and Demis Hassabis, Neuralink's brain-computer interfaces, OpenEvidence's rapid adoption among physicians, personalized medicine, and the emergence of 10X doctors and nurses. We also explore some of Thrive’s breakout healthcare incubations, the next generation of trillion-dollar healthcare companies, and why AI's most important breakthroughs may happen in medicine rather than software.

    Perplexity CEO: SMBs Could Drive the Next Economic Boom

    Perplexity Founder & CEO Aravind Srinivas believes the next wave of American economic growth could come from smaller, AI-native businesses, not just the largest technology companies. Perplexity, valued at ~$20B with more than $2B in reported funding and backing from NVIDIA, SoftBank, IVP, NEA, Accel, Jeff Bezos, and Elad Gil, has evolved from an AI answer engine into a platform for autonomous agents, research, and knowledge work. I sat down with Aravind at Perplexity's new San Francisco headquarters to discuss the economics of AI, the future of entrepreneurship, and why agents could enable a generation of smaller, more profitable companies. Aravind reveals that Perplexity's revenue is growing 5x year over year, enterprise adoption is accelerating, and one solopreneur is spending over $1M annually on Perplexity Computer while generating $3M in annual revenue. We also explore Perplexity's bet on local AI, its work with NVIDIA and Apple, and why the company has no plans to build its own data centers despite the massive infrastructure buildout underway.

    USV’s New $900M Fund: Fred Wilson, Rebecca Kaden & Mike Mignano

    USV spent 20 years keeping its funds small on purpose. Its new $900M raise is the largest fund cycle in the firm’s history. I sat down with USV General Partners Fred Wilson, Rebecca Kaden and Michael Mignano at the firm’s New York office to unpack why one of venture capital’s most disciplined early-stage firms is getting bigger now, and what they think the next era of AI will look like. Together with General Partner Nick Grossman, they’re leading USV into its next chapter. USV was early to Twitter, Coinbase, Stripe, MongoDB, Twilio, Etsy, Duolingo and Abridge. More than 20 years after Fred Wilson and Brad Burnham laid out the firm’s original internet thesis, Fred believes AI today looks a lot like the internet in 2003. The infrastructure is here, but many of the defining applications have yet to be built. We get into why AI is making products cheaper to build but breakout companies potentially more expensive to create, why ARR can hide weak retention, the growing importance of founder storytelling, personal AI agents, the “Rebel Alliance” around open AI infrastructure, and why energy may be one of the cleanest bets on AI. At the center of USV’s new thesis is “obliterate, don’t automate.” Instead of making existing industries incrementally more efficient, AI could completely restructure them. Fred’s version is simple. Don’t hire a lawyer, use an AI lawyer. Don’t hire an accountant, use an AI accountant. Don’t hire a doctor, use an AI doctor.

    John Collison, Stripe: AI Agents Will Rewire the Internet

    John Collison, Co-Founder of Stripe, on how AI agents are changing commerce, payments and the internet itself. I sat down with John at Browserbase Navigate to talk agentic commerce, computer use, cybersecurity and why Stripe considers 2026 the beginning of the “singularity epoch.” We get into why computer use could be the next major leap in AI, how agents will reshape product discovery and transactions, and why Stripe is rebuilding parts of its infrastructure for AI instead of humans. We also cover Stripe’s acquisitions of Bridge, Privy, Metronome and OpenRouter, usage-based billing, multi-model routing and how AI is already transforming workflows inside Stripe. Browserbase builds infrastructure for AI agents that use the web, providing cloud browsers and tooling that let agents navigate websites and take actions across existing web interfaces.

    Frontier AI Is a Ferrari. Most Companies Need a Model Y | Turing CEO

    Jonathan Siddharth, Co-Founder & CEO of Turing, joins Sourcery to break down how AI training & deployment are changing in 2026. We cover the shift from training models to pass benchmarks to training agents for real work through RL environments, and why AI agents that can operate for days today could eventually work autonomously for weeks, months and years. Jonathan explains why open-weight models are now roughly 3–6 months behind the frontier, why enterprises are building their own AI systems, and how companies should think about frontier vs. sovereign AI, model routing, distillation and owning their proprietary learning loops. “There's absolutely a place in the world for Ferraris & Koenigseggs. But there's also a place in the world for Model Ys.” We also get into reward hacking, emergent behavior, AI safety, recursive self-improvement, super intelligence (SI) and why Jonathan believes AI will see a slower takeoff over the next decade rather than an overnight transition.

    IMEC Says Today’s AI Will Look Ancient in 10 Years

    AI's next bottleneck? It might not be GPUs. Memory prices have risen 700% this year, while power, cooling and data transfer are all becoming major constraints on the AI infrastructure buildout. At the same time, the semiconductor industry is approaching the physical limits of simply making transistors smaller. I sat down with Steven Latré, VP of AI at imec and Thema Board Member, and Adam Chambers of Strike Capital, to talk about what comes after the GPU and where the next wave of value in AI infrastructure could be created. We get into › Why memory is already one of AI's biggest bottlenecks › The power, cooling and data transfer constraints behind inference › Why photonics could become a critical technology for the next generation of chips › What happens as Moore's Law approaches the limits of physics › Why Steven thinks we'll laugh at today's AI in 5–10 years Steven describes imec as the “hidden gem” of semiconductors. The organization works years ahead of the commercial market, with the world's biggest chip companies coming through its facilities to develop technologies that may not reach the market for another 7–10 years. His hottest take is that today's LLMs will eventually look like dial-up internet. “I think we're gonna laugh 5-10 years from now at how old-fashioned AI was today.” Recorded at the Strike x Sourcery Summit in the South of France.

    The $500B Opportunity in Europe’s Defense Buildout

    Europe is preparing to mobilize up to €800B in additional defense spending. But money alone doesn't solve one of its biggest problems. After decades of underinvestment, Europe's defense industry needs to dramatically increase its ability to manufacture at scale. Component lead times can stretch into years, certain contracts can take 4–5 years to deliver and modern warfare increasingly requires systems produced in the tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands or even millions. As Aistis Šimaitis puts it, “Volume wins.” I sat down in Monaco with Aistis, Co-Founder & CEO of Onodrim and former head of Palantir's commercial business in Europe, George Hadjiminas, Chief Strategy Officer at Theon International & EFA Group, and Bruno Wejchert, Partner at Strike Capital. We get into › How Ukraine exposed the gaps in Europe's defense industrial base › Why manufacturing and volume matter as much as new technology › Why autonomous warfare requires dramatically cheaper components at massive scale › Why George believes “prototypes don't fight wars” › Bruno's prediction that Europe could produce a $500B defense company within the next decade The conversation covers everything from autonomous systems and defense procurement to the lessons Aistis took from Palantir and why George believes “prototypes don't fight wars.” As billions flow into European defense, the question is increasingly not just who can build the best technology, but who can actually manufacture and deliver it at scale.
