Conferences aren’t about stages. They’re about engineered collisions between the right people. We are building those collisions at scale. Stay tuned for the next gen of tech events.

This is the clearest case for AI roll-ups I've read. The bottleneck isn't the model anymore, it's adoption and capturing the value. Owning the business solves both. Curious which service verticals Long Lake sees next.

This is the best AI use case I’ve seen in a long time. Just wow!!!

OpenAI on Google Cloud is the clearest sign yet that the model race is turning into a distribution race. Once every hyperscaler sells every frontier model, the moat moves to data, governance and cost. Fun to watch Gemini now competing with GPT cnbc.com/2026/10/21/openai-b…

Textbook AI roll-up math: buying a 198-seat contact center for ¥200M, about 0.43x revenue, then lifting margins with AI. Cheap BPO capacity plus automation is where the real arbitrage sits right now, and it's happening in Japanese microcaps too. japanir.jp/en/company/compan…

Salesforce paying $5.66B cash for Braze says it all: AI agents are only as good as the live signals they act on. Agentforce now gets real time behavior across apps, SMS and WhatsApp. The marketing cloud war just became a data freshness war. salesforce.com/news/press-re…

Visa and Mesh just made crypto and stablecoin balances spendable at 175 million merchants, straight from the wallets people already use. No separate card for the user, no new hardware for the merchant. That is the last mile crypto payments needed. prnewswire.com/news-releases…

JPM Coin expanding from Base to Ethereum mainnet says a lot: the biggest US bank wants its deposits settling on the most liquid public chain. Tokenized deposits vs stablecoins is shaping up to be the real fight of 2027. en.cryptonomist.ch/2026/10/1…

China just put 23 AI tech categories - including large models, agents, and chip design -on its draft export-control list. Open-source and published work stay out, but Beijing is drawing a clearer line on what sensitive AI IP can leave the country. Big move in the US–China tech race. globaltimes.cn/page/202610/1…

AI labs are now buying cyber, not just models. Cohere + AISLE makes sense for sovereign and enterprise AI. The real question: can autonomous security scale as fast as the threats? cohere.com/blog/cohere-and-a…

A Letter to the World’s Leftists and to Righteous People : 7th of October. There are days history writes in ink, days it writes in tears, and days so terrible that history writes their names in blood. October 7 was such a day. The morning came quietly. Some were sleeping. Some were praying. Mothers were beside their children. Then Hamas terrorists, the Palestinian Muslim Brotherhood, entered homes in Israel. Blood. Fire. Screams. Women were raped. Children were burned. Families were executed. Babies were kidnapped. Jews were hunted and murdered. Homes that once held prayers, laughter and children's footsteps became places of death. Beds became graves. A mother's arms became empty. A child's room waited for a child who would not return. There are no words large enough for such grief. Only the silence afterward. The silence of a mother waiting for her child. The silence left when evil has finished screaming. Once again, Jews were murdered for being Jews. An ancient nightmare suddenly had a date in the present tense. The old hatred had found new mouths and new excuses. From my country, the United Arab Emirates, a Muslim Arab country, came a voice within minutes calling it by its name: A terrorist attack. No excuse. No ideology can make rape resistance. No slogan can make burning a child justice. No flag can make kidnapping a baby freedom. And yet, London. Paris. Toronto. You would have expected tears. Instead, people celebrated while Jewish families searched for the missing and children remained with kidnappers. People waved the flag of the kidnappers of babies instead of demanding freedom for the babies. This was another wound of October 7. Innocent people were murdered, while others had forgotten how to mourn them. It felt as though civilisation had turned backwards. Back toward 1936. Back toward the old darkness. That was where morals failed. I have travelled to universities around the world and stood beside Jewish communities attacked simply for being Jewish, to tell them: You have a friend here. When the Holocaust happened, I was not there. I cannot go backwards and stop the trains or take one terrified child by the hand. But I was alive on October 7. And I had a choice. One day my children may ask: Where did you stand? I want to tell them: I stood with the baby, not his kidnapper. I stood with the mother, not her rapist. I stood with the murdered, not the murderer. I stood with the Jew hunted simply for being a Jew. When people found sophisticated words to excuse barbarism, I chose humanity's simplest word: No. No to rape. No to kidnapping. No to burning children. No to terrorism. No to antisemitism. Hamas, the Palestinian Muslim Brotherhood, may have lost in Gaza, but an ideology does not die because it loses a battlefield. Look at the streets of the West, universities, some parliaments and city councils. Too many young minds have become hostages to propaganda for Hamas, Hezbollah and Iran's proxies in the West. When you become silent about an October 7, you do not guarantee that October 7 will remain in the past. Hatred begins as a sentence before it becomes a scream. Extremism begins as an excuse before it becomes an act. Evil first asks to be tolerated, then excused, then normalised. Remember October 7. Remember the empty beds. Remember the empty arms. Remember the kidnapped. Remember the murdered. Remember Jewish families hunted in the one place every human should believe is safe: home. Be like my country, the UAE, where antisemitism is not an opinion to celebrate. It is a crime. Where the Muslim Brotherhood is banned, not romanticised as activists. History will ask something simple: When a child cried, where did you stand? On October 7, I knew my answer. With the baby, not the kidnapper. With the mother, not her rapist. With the innocent, not the terrorist. And when my children read this chapter of history, I want them to know: Their father did not look away.

7.10 . We will never forget. Who did this. Who is supporting who did this.

One of Michael Moritz's best stories on obsession is about the ride he got from Bill Gates when Microsoft was still private. "Bill Gates gave me a ride to the airport in his car. The radio was missing in the car, a big, gaping hole in the dashboard. I said, Bill, what happened to you, did you get ripped off? And he said no, I had it taken out. Why'd you have it taken out? Well, I drive from my home to the office, which is 7 minutes and 32 seconds, and then I'll drive from the office to the airport, which is however long. And he said if I've got the radio, I'm afraid that I'll switch it on and I won't be thinking about Microsoft. That's obsession."

Travis Kalanick says entrepreneurs need pissed-off energy: "When you get into your 3rd and 4th, this may be even my 5th at this point, company, you get fricking really good at doing stuff." "Things that used to take me a day or 3 days, a lot of stress, anxiety, like how am I gonna do this, take me like 45 minutes." "I'm so used to adversity at this point that it's kind of normal, so I don't get as pissed off. But being pissed off makes you good as an entrepreneur, so I gotta make sure I'm still fired up." "You get too used to adversity, and that's kind of a problem." @travisk @bhorowitz

Quand je vois les révolutions technologiques qui arrivent, l’IA, la robotique humanoïde, la conquête de l’espace, etc, j’avoue que j’aimerais bien avoir 30 ans de moins et vivre tout ça en tant qu’entrepreneur conquérant. Ca va franchement être passionnant ! Quelle chance vous avez les jeunes. Osez entreprendre, en vous inspirant des méthodes des tous meilleurs, Elon Musk, Jeff Bezos, Steve Jobs. Il y a plein de façon de réussir, mais il y a néanmoins au moins 2 composantes communes : - 1/ Le plus important : recruter les tous meilleurs dans chacune des fonctions clés. Surtout ne pas lésiner la dessus. Jamais. Et après, évidemment, les inspirer, les motiver, les gérer, et les garder ! - 2/ La résilience : prendre des risques, prendre des coups, essuyer des échecs, comprendre pourquoi, se relever et recommencer avec enthousiasme. Encore. Encore.

Parlé avec un chauffeur français passé en Suisse. Il a perdu 450 euros par mois avec Hollande et la suppression des exonérations de charges sur les heures supp. Now il a un boulot de 42h par semaine + 20h en conduisant un Uber en toute légalité. Et il est plus heureux « vous savez le travail c’est la santé

For two days in July, Paris held the people deciding how the next era of technology gets built. 9,000+ attendees from 90 countries. 350+ speakers. 200+ sponsors. 822 CEOs. 80%+ of participants at C-suite or decision-making level. 168 Fortune 500, CAC 40, FTSE 100, DAX and S&P 500 companies represented. Over $600B in AUM in the building. Leaders from @Google, @Meta, @Lovable, @OpenAI, @Broadcom, @MistralAI, @IREN_Ltd, @cognition, @FireworksAI_HQ, and hundreds more were on the floor and on the stage, setting the agenda for the next decade of AI. @mcuban, @ylecun, @sk7037, @arthurmensch, and @manojnair among the voices that defined the programme. The verdict from the room speaks for itself. "The size of the conference has tripled since last year, and the calibre of speakers has actually improved. And so, it's literally the best AI conference in the world." — Helena Chao, @BankofAmerica. "There is so much room for success, and the need for collaboration is going to be significant. And I think that's going to really take an ecosystem. There's not going to be any one company, Google included, that can solve the problems up and down the stack. So it's going to require tremendous collaboration to make it all happen." - @AminVahdat, @Google Amin is right. No single company solves the stack. Which is precisely what RAISE was built for, not an audience, but a working floor. A room where the people who fund, build, buy and deploy actually meet: thousands of one-to-one meetings running alongside the programme. The stages set the agenda. The tables around them set things in motion. Thank you to every speaker, sponsor, partner, and attendee who made RAISE Summit 2026 the room where the industry comes to decide what happens next. A huge thank you to our partners at Final Chain Films, who documented every moment the way it deserved to be captured. And the room is about to get bigger. RAISE Summit is joining @hyve_group, the formula that built one of the world's most influential technology conferences in three editions now goes global. The 2026 summit ended. What it set in motion didn't.
