 June 29, 2024  Mayfield Fund is among the firms investing in the rise of the cognitive workforce through AI-enabled tools for knowledge workers. We speak to Navin Chaddha, managing partner at the firm about what's ahead.  2024 is shaping up as a not-so-shabby year for robotics funding, with startups pulling in billions as investors back big deals at the intersection of AI and robotics.  The unsurprising finding from our latest data dive regarding investment in startups innovating around the metaverse, virtual reality and augmented reality is that the metaverse is not getting funded.  Lab-produced meat may be one of the weirder sectors for startup innovation, but like most startup sectors, the space isn’t attracting investors like it used to.  For the first four months of 2024, it seemed like funding to autonomous driving startups was slowly driving off a cliff. However, since then venture funding has kicked into another gear.  To investors it’s the exit that actually matters, but those have been slow the last few years as the M&A and IPO markets have dried up. Some AI startups may be changing that. Crunchbase, Inc. |
