Prefer to watch? Here's the 60-second version:

This week, the smartest people in AI hit pause on purpose. Apple wrote a billion-dollar check it swore it never would. ChatGPT quietly crossed a line no app has crossed faster. And medicine got two upgrades in 48 hours. It's not hype anymore — it's acceleration.

TLDR: The week's theme was momentum you can actually use. Researchers handed you a window, Apple proved even giants buy instead of build, ChatGPT hit a billion users, and AI compressed drug discovery and MRI scans into timelines that change real lives.

That investor was wrong. Gamma is now worth $2B, with 50M users and more than half their growth driven by word of mouth.

They're one of 6 AI-native startups in HubSpot for Startups' free Bold Bets Playbook. Replit grew revenue 50x after half the team pushed back on the strategy. Ramp generated 100M+ views from a single stunt. Clay's co-founder wouldn't hang up a sales call until the prospect DMed him in Slack.

Each one took a GTM risk most founders would never greenlight. Each one paid off.

The 5-Minute MRI Is Almost Here
