3 Key Takeaways:

1. Many AI startups are struggling financially and seen as consolidation targets (what)
2. Tech giants like Microsoft already acquiring AI talent and tech (why)
3. Further startup acquisitions likely as computing costs stay high (next)

What Happened?

According to industry insiders at a recent Bloomberg technology summit, a wave of mergers and acquisitions is expected across AI startups. Many smaller firms took risky bets and are now running out of money needed for the expensive computing power and talent required to develop advanced AI.

As you can see, deal volume for AI and machine learning is already picking up pace. In 2024 so far, there’s been 105 deals totaling $35 billion in the US. This deal value has already surpassed 2023’s full-year total of $25 billion across 255 deals.

Why It Matters?

The problem is that while costs are high today, revenue and commercialization of AI tech remain distant and unclear for many startups. This leaves them burning through available funds quickly, with little respite on the horizon.

Larger tech incumbents like Microsoft, Google, and OpenAI possess inherent scale, data, distribution, and capital advantages. This year, Microsoft acquired London-based Inflection AI. More consolidation allows giants to absorb technical knowledge and talent.

What’s Next?

Industry insiders expect further startup acquisitions as computing expenses stay elevated. However, some firms like Hugging Face are close to profitability by generating revenue streams. Specific AI product focus could help startups survive versus creating general tools.

We’ll also watch for AI developments from US vs China after increased electric vehicles tariffs. Plus AI dividend power from big tech and Beijing consumer app launches.

So while tech behemoths have competitive advantage, creative startups can thrive in niche AI sectors. But the time may soon come for David to partner with Goliath.
