🎙 Matt Mandel and Jared Hecht of Union Square Ventures, on a new wave of startups being vertically integrated and AI-first.

“A new pattern is emerging that we are excited about at USV: entrepreneurs are upgrading physical industries with an AI-first and vertically integrated approach. Instead of selling software to industry incumbents, startups are increasingly deciding to use their technical know-how to compete head-on.”
