This week, 20VC examined a venture market in transition, where traditional metrics have become unreliable guides. From debates over whether $1BN is now table stakes for seed investing to discussions of software valuations spiraling out of control, the episodes reveal a fundamental tension: venture capital is being reshaped by AI and infrastructure shifts, but the industry hasn't yet settled on what companies are actually worth. Across conversations with Bessemer's Sameer Dholakia and Unconventional's Naveen Rao, a common thread emerged—the next decade's winners will likely come from robotics and inference infrastructure, not from the software playbook that defined the last one.
