Ask HN: What's still being funded?
There's a lot of doom and gloom around the big tech layoffs right now. But as we saw from '01 and '08, generally the biggest new startups will come out of these times. What's the trend like in VC right now?
- cupachabra 4y agoAI is getting funded right left and centre
- dstala 4y agoTrend in ShowHN & some recent fundings are definitely towards GPT based applications. Saw this recently - Chatbot Character.ai valued at $1bn in Andreessen-led funding round https://www.ft.com/content/b230eb4c-ed53-45ff-8b64-c286a4b98fc1 https://www.ft.com/content/b230eb4c-ed53-45ff-8b64-c286a4b98... But I strongly feel, its GPT powered native apps that will drive the market forward. We will definitely see lot of adoptions coming forward.

- rapjr9 4y agoI would imagine anything related to US infrastructure of all kinds is going to be funded soon due to the $1 trillion infrastructure bill.
- TechBro8615 4y agoAI, Edge Compute, and open source frameworks with obvious traction
- nikanj 4y agoSafe bets. Experienced teams starting something in a field they know well, promising to gradually improve something and make decent returns. Essentially the opposite of the frothy bubble startup, where Stanford dropouts with zero experience promise to completely revolutionize an industry where they've never worked.
