OpenAI alums have been quietly investing from a new, potentially $100M fund 

By Pradhyuman,

OpenAI alums launching the Zero Shot fund? Smart move. These ex-insiders aren't just throwing money at every AI startup; they're betting on what they *truly* understand. What's even more telling, though, isn't just who they're backing. It's the AI trends they're actively *avoiding* - like those "digital twin" fads or certain robotics data plays. They've seen the sausage being made and know where the real potential lies, and crucially, where it doesn't. This isn't just another VC fund; it's a strategic filtering mechanism built on unparalleled experience. That kind of insight? It's invaluable. Keep visiting to get more updates.
