Sramana Mitra: Okay. Let me push you on that a little bit. This is great, by the way. This is exactly what I want our audience to go through. So, let’s take the example of AI enabled drug discovery. It’s one of the most promising areas in my view. It’s what excites me the most, actually.

David Hornik, Founding Partner at Lobby Capital, discusses his firm’s AI investment thesis. This is an excellent discussion spanning Agentic AI and Ultralight startups.
