This week, 20VC examined the diverging fortunes of AI infrastructure and enterprise software, from Anthropic's massive compute commitments and Cerebras' path to public markets, to the brutal economics facing legal tech upstarts competing against entrenched players like Harvey. The episodes revealed a market in flux: while some founders are capturing enormous valuations through AI tailwinds, others are grinding through five-year deserts to product-market fit, raising questions about which bets will actually survive the next cycle. Across conversations with operators and investors, a through-line emerged on founder discipline and capital efficiency—how the best companies are learning to compete not through hype, but through relentless unit economics and realistic timelines.
