📈 16 Mega VC Deals impacted by AI

• Investors poured $25.7 billion into venture-backed deals in June 2025
• AI implementation is required to raise VC funding. 50% of the largest 16 funding deals in 2025 are pure AI, 25% are AI native, and the remaining are on-boarding themselves to AI. In other words, if you want to be a top funded company, you need to implement AI intelligently, and correct, and, fast.

🧰 Easy AI Tools: Implement in Your Business

Tool 1: Chatbase.co

• This is one my fave tools. I've used this tool to build 2 of my AI bots. Chat with DON AI to learn about our community, chat with INTRO AI to get matchmade with VCs

Tool 2: ChatGPT CODEX

• I can't say enough about GPT's ability to help with coding. This newsletter HTML template was coded in the new GPT CODEX, then pasted to ConvertKit.

Tool 3: Lovable.Dev

• I have spent 100+ hours inside of Lovable the last month. It's the best AI I've used since ChatGPT. Here's some websites I built using Lovable AI: Plant Brokerage, Lead Magnet Video Game, AI Community, VC Networking page, and much more.
• Great example of other websites people are building with Lovable.

🔍 AI Experiments Globally

Everyone is trying to figure out the wild west of AI. Here's some of what the leaders are developing on the cutting edge.

1. AlphaGenome
   • Problem: Today, doctors still guess which DNA mutations actually cause disease. AlphaGenome gives them instant clues, so they test only the most likely trouble spots.
   • AI Solution: DeepMind trained a huge model that reads raw DNA letters and predicts which genes will “switch on” or “switch off.” Think of it as dropping a “traffic sensor” on every mile of genetic highway.
   • Helpful Analogy: Instead of spending weeks flipping light-switches one by one, you load the sequence and it tells you, “This switch brightens the room, that one does nothing.”
2. Boltz-2
   • Problem: Screening a billion drug ideas used to need a supercomputer farm.
   • Solution: MIT + Recursion released an open-source model. Boltz-2 runs on a single GPU in minutes, so even a small startup can play “digital Lego” with molecules.
   • Helpful analogy: Tinder for proteins. Boltz-2 swipes left or right on millions of molecules, showing chemists only the top matches.
3. AI Superpowers Founder Lab
   • Problem: Just raised capital and need to invest it wisely in growth. Do you hire more headcount? Or, leverage AI?
   • Solution: A group of 20 founders coming together to replace pieces of their growth team with AI so it can operate with minimal headcount. Saving you $100K's per month or year.
   • Cool analogy: Imagine a laboratory for business, where the scientists are founders.

🧑‍🔬 AI Experiments in the Founder Lab:

​

Answer: Yes! But....

But nobody is 100 % sure how, yet. That’s why we need to discover it together. Every top founder I know is figuring out how their company can benefit from AI. So we're launching 3 months of AI experiments where your founders are the scientists.

Come build the AI future with us. There's no better way to raise a bunch of capital and close customers than to have a genuine advantage with AI.
