No Priors Ep. 116 | With Sarah and Elad
AI leaders are emerging in foundation models, coding, medical scribing, and customer success, while sales productivity, financial-analyst tooling, accounting, and pharma remain open.The winning application playbook combines vertical workflows, proprietary data, distribution, and user-generated knowledge, while startup mergers may strengthen defense against incumbents; neglected fertility, longevity, and world-model opportunities remain constrained by financing, regulation, and uncertain commercialization.
