In this episode, Marcus and Vic break down the Federal Reserve’s indecision on rate cuts, mass tech layoffs accelerated by AI, and why startups no longer need as much capital. They discuss major VC moves in healthcare, including Tennr, Sword Health, and Nabla, along with General Catalyst’s hospital acquisition. The episode also covers Medicaid cuts, fractures in the Republican party, and the Supreme Court’s decision on gender-affirming care. Plus, stablecoins get a bipartisan boost, AI companions for seniors show promise, and tensions rise between OpenAI and Microsoft over cloud exclusivity and IP rights.
