## Resource

This week on The Learning Corner, Manny Medina, co-founder of Outreach, shares his biggest regret as a founder and why he believes killing your competition is the actual job description of a VC-backed founder. Samir Kaji breaks down his fundamental truths in venture capital today, touching on the widening barbell between large and small firms, ARR reporting concerns, and honest uncertainty around AI. We close with the bombshell SpaceX and Cursor partnership announcement, unpacking what a $60 billion acquisition option and a million H100 equivalent supercomputer really signals about where the AI arms race is headed.
