Capital of Tomorrow: Venture Investment in the Age of AI

​Every breakthrough starts with someone willing to back it before it's obvious. Capital of Tomorrow looks at the other side of the founder's table: how investors decide which ideas get funded, what early-stage capital looks for now that AI is changing how startups are built, and what technical founders should understand before they raise.
