I’m publishing this series on LinkedIn called Colors to explore a topic that I care deeply about: the Renaissance Mind. I am just as passionate about entrepreneurship, technology, and business, as I am about art and culture. In this series, I will typically publish a piece of art – one of my paintings – and I request you to spend a minute or two deeply meditating on it. I urge you to watch your feelings, thoughts, reactions to the piece, and write what comes to you, what thoughts it triggers, in the dialog area. Let us see what stimulation this interaction yields. For today – Janla I

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.
>>>Sramana Mitra: There’s one question that I want to ask you. I agree with everything you said. AI is making everything easier and cheaper to build, except perhaps marketing, because the market is going to become noisier.
>>>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.
>>>According to a recent report, the global home healthcare market is expected to grow 8% annually through 2030. The market was valued at $390.24 billion in 2023. Rising healthcare costs for in-facility care coupled with improved penetration of virtual and remote care industry are helping fuel the growth in the industry. Montreal-based AlayaCare is one such player that is leveraging technology to improve the effectiveness of home-based health care.
>>>Sramana Mitra: If you get companies at that inception stage – MVP with not really any revenue, just discussions with the market, but good precise discussion with the market, what size checks are you willing to write?
