TC+ Roundup: Amazon is not the AI leader | TechCrunch

Dec 05, 2023 - techcrunch.com
Amazon, which has been a leader in the cloud since 2006, is now trailing behind Microsoft in the field of AI. Microsoft's partnership with OpenAI and its work on Copilot have given it an edge over Amazon's AI efforts. Meanwhile, the Black Farmer Fund is seeking to raise $20 million to support Black farmers and food businesses in the Northeast, in response to the lack of funding for Black-owned agtech companies.

In other news, the medical spa industry is projected to be worth $30 billion by the end of the decade, attracting the attention of investors and private equity firms. However, the success of these businesses is largely dependent on beauty trends and standards. Additionally, Capchase CEO Miguel Fernandez suggests that product scalability is a key metric for SaaS companies seeking sustainable growth.

Key takeaways:

  • Amazon, once the leader in cloud technology, is now playing catch-up to Microsoft in the field of AI. Microsoft has partnered with OpenAI, while Amazon is betting on Bedrock.
  • Black Farmer Fund is raising its second round targeting $20 million to offer economic and social opportunity to Black farmers and agricultural and food businesses in the Northeast.
  • Medical spas are projected to be a $30 billion business by the end of this decade, and investors and private equity firms are starting to take note.
  • For SaaS companies, sustainable growth is becoming more important than total addressable market and revenue growth, and this is measured by product scalability.
