We’re in a new phase - companies at the top are both competing and owning each other: Alphabet aka Google is competing with Gemini and at the same time - owning approximately 14% of Anthropic - And holding approximately 6% stake in SpaceX, which now owns xAI This is an inevitable result of value getting concentrated at the top wherein a small number of companies are capturing a disproportionate share of value. -> Build internally to compete -> Invest externally to participate Some call it strategy, one may call it hedging - but increasingly, cross-investing isn’t optional anymore. https://www.marketwatch.com/story/google-is-now-a-glorified-venture-capital-fund-thanks-to-its-spacex-and-anthropic-stakes-b13f3d56 #venturecapital #startups #ai #google #spacex #anthropic
