This week, 20VC examines the structural shifts reshaping AI investment and startup strategy. From Nikesh Arora's analysis of where value actually accrues in the AI stack to the industry's reckoning with DeepSeek's capital efficiency and open-source competition, the episodes surface a recurring tension: traditional moats are eroding faster than founders and investors anticipated. Across conversations on enterprise readiness, chip building, and organizational design, a clearer picture emerges of what founders need to focus on now—taste, systems thinking, and equity strategy—rather than chasing infrastructure plays that may already be commoditized.
