This week, 20VC examined the mechanics of elite venture capital decision-making alongside a flurry of AI industry developments that are reshaping investor priorities. From inside Sequoia's storied investment committee to NVIDIA's aggressive AI acquisitions and Anthropic's ambitious valuation assumptions, the episodes revealed a sector in transition—where traditional founder evaluation frameworks now compete with questions about whether AI companies' revenue projections have become untethered from reality. The tension between proven venture playbooks and speculative AI bets emerged as the week's defining theme, with guests challenging whether the current wave of AI investments will prove as durable as the legendary deals of decades past.
