“Should co-founders split equity equally?” Carta data from 9,000+ startups says: 🔹 46% of 2-founder teams go 50/50 🔹 Median: 51/49 (2), 45/33/20 (3) 🔹 4-founder equal splits rare Outcome? Equal ≠ better. Align on roles, value & expectations early. Try the Slicing Pie Method!

Founders building AI infra should study Scale AI’s path: start narrow, scale wide; treat data as core infra; build for autonomous agents; prioritize safety and governance; and lead with strong culture. At 10X VP, we back those building the AI backbone. Let’s connect.

AI is now the core of VC investing. In 2015, AI made up 7% of deal value—now it’s 53% (Q2 2025). $142B across nearly 10,000 deals. If AI touches your product, make it real. If not, know you’re pitching in an AI-first market. VC focus has shifted—stand out or stand aside.

Not all accelerators are what they claim to be. We’ve seen too many teams pay $2,800, $5,000 or even more up front for generic slides, stale advice, and a cold intro. Real value, however, is often free and transparent. YC's Startup School is an example👉 lnkd.in/eQj4DYU8

AI has gone from 7% to 53% of global VC deal value in a decade. In 2024 alone, AI startups raised $142B across nearly 10,000 deals. VC is now an AI-first market—founders must clearly show real, differentiated value, AI or not. The bar is rising.
