The Startup World is a Bloody Circus
Hi everyone,
The world right now is bloody noisy.
You go to LinkedIn and everyone claims to be an expert. You see founders with beautiful pitch decks, but if you dig deeper, you realize the deck was created by AI and there is no real business behind it.
It is confusing. It is messy. And to be honest, it is mostly BS.
That is why I decided to start a podcast.
I am calling it Startup Circus.
I have been in this industry for a few years now. I meet interesting people, investors, and founders every day. I hear amazing stories that are never shared publicly.
This podcast is my place to share those stories. No filters. No BS.
Why should you listen?
Because I am not selling you a course. I am just sharing what I see.
In the first episode, I cover my honest predictions for 2026:
The "Pandemic" of Startups: Why we are seeing a flood of low-quality companies created in minutes using AI.
The AI Correction: Why I believe the AI bubble might deflate and why I am personally moving some of my investments out of equity.
Data is Gold: Why data that does not exist online is becoming the most valuable asset in the world.
Robots are Here: It is not just sci-fi anymore. From robot chefs in London to defense robots in China, the physical world is changing fast.
I recorded this from Italy during my break. The view is nice, but the conversation is serious.
If you like what you hear, please follow. If you don't like it, feel free to move on. I won't take it personal.

Best,
