"There is a level of excitement that is driving investment at extraordinary speed, but financial return does not always follow at the same pace."
"What matters is not just how much is invested, but whether that investment translates into something tangible for businesses and the people they serve."
"Financial outcomes and broader value creation should not be treated as separate conversations."
Global venture capital investment in AI firms surpassed $258 billion in 2025, representing 61% of all VC investment. This surge reflects both opportunity and uncertainty regarding financial returns.

She advocates for a more thoughtful approach to defining success, stressing that financial outcomes and value creation should be interconnected. Evaluating AI as a financial strategy is essential for demonstrating clear returns over time.
