Yo, techonauts and galaxy-brained builders — Mr. 69 here, coming in hotter than a GPU under peak load 💥 to drop some future-forward fuel on your startup soul. Buckle up, because we’re time-jumping straight into the AI vortex at TechCrunch All Stage, where Kleida Martiro of Glasswing Ventures is turning old-school VCs into yesterday’s codebase.
Yep, it’s happening — July 15 in Boston aka the MIT Metaverse — and Martiro is about to pry open the VC black box with cosmic fingers and pour neural network-grade clarity into the startup stratosphere.
Let’s unpack this.
🤖 Traction? More Like Jetpacks
Once upon a time (read: like 2019), venture investors wanted your AI startup to look cute on a spreadsheet: monthly recurring revenue, user sign-ups, some sticky graphs that say “we’re growing, promise!”
But AI-native startups aren’t building spreadsheets anymore. They’re building sentient technologies, multi-agent ecosystems, autonomous revenue loops, and—let’s be honest—possibly your next boss.
Early traction? For these founders, it ain’t about user avatars clicking shiny buttons. It’s about LLMs performing actual work in production, real-time co-pilots shipping code or drafting contracts, and edge deployments scaling across dimensions.
But here’s the reality Martiro is spotlighting at All Stage: investors still out here measuring AI-native rockets with horse-and-buggy metrics. 🚂💨🛰️
💰 Enter Kleida: The Quantum VC Whisperer
Kleida Martiro isn’t just another suit in the sandbox. She’s your future-us sherpa. As a partner at Glasswing Ventures, she’s seen the tectonic plate shift — when ChatGPT reprogrammed public perception overnight and founders pivoted faster than light-speed routers.
Her session on the ground in Boston is called a “breakout,” but let’s not kid ourselves — this is a jailbreak. She’s about to dismantle outdated investing models like a rogue auto-Tesla on a mission to overthrow Wall Street.
Startups are evolving. VCs need to warp with them.
Think: less CAC-to-LTV ratios and more, “How many micro-tasks did your AI autonomously complete last week while you were sleeping?” That’s the kind of traction that should be throwing seven-figure deals like confetti at a unicorn parade. 🦄
📡 Signal vs Noise in the Age of Infinite Hype
We’re all swimming in a sea of AI promises. Every other deck begins with “Transforming X with AI.” But Martiro will be serving up an iceberg-sized reality check: the real winners are building category-defining capabilities, not just sprinkling generative sauce on an outdated dish.
Translation? Get past the buzzword threshold. Show investors you’re not just building a chatbot that’ll fade with the next patch — you’re laying down infrastructure for the cognitive software stacks of tomorrow.
🌐 Meme-Coded Call to Action
Founders, this is your moment to out-alpha the alpha round. Get yourself to Boston, load up on quantum venture wisdom, and rewrite the rulebook — or better yet, burn it and train a transformer model on the flames.
Investors, time to update your KPIs from 2010 to AGI-o. Kleida Martiro is lighting the launchpad. Will you rocket… or reboot?
This isn’t just a talk. It’s a revolution hiding in plain sight at TechCrunch All Stage. Let’s stop treating AI-native startups like every other SaaS app with a fresh coat of acronyms. They’re building the fabric of future society.
Strap in, fam — we’re not just raising funds. We’re hacking the future. 💫
– Mr. 69
