Unity, Unreal, Roblox and Godot – the predominant 3D engines – are all 15+ year old technologies architected for a different era of computing. The emergence of generative AI, cloud computing, and new spatial platforms is poised to disrupt 3D creation end-to-end.

To fill a pail with rocks of different sizes, it’s better to put big rocks in first, and then finish with small rocks. Investing is similar. If you get the big questions right, you can get other stuff wrong and do well. The biggest question: “How much risk should I take right now?” For individuals, that could mean allocations between stocks and bonds; for institutions, it could mean allocations across various risk buckets.

The typical software startup raised their Series A 15 months after raising their seed at 2x their seed valuation. A year ago, that Series A would have been raised three months earlier at 3.5x the valuation. Here’s another way of visualizing the data. The red dot is 2023 - the other years are in grey. Across rounds for the 50th & 75th percentile of companies, step-up valuations are the lowest multiples in about ten years.

I was recently talking to an entrepreneur that passed on an investment because it would not need yield the company at least a 10x growth opportunity. I told him those level of returns are reasonable when investing in small businesses under $5MM, but that he should consider lowering his ROI threshold when investing in larger companies. My logic was twofold: (1) bigger companies are harder to grow as quickly as small businesses, so the growth percentages will be lower; and (2) you can make “oodles

Electronic trading platforms followed in the 1980s, and the rise of the internet in the 1990s brought online brokerages like E*TRADE.
