Everyone has opinions about founder equity, funding timelines, and valuations—but Peter Walker holds the data.
In this special live Agentic session, I sat down with Peter, Head of Insights at Carta, to unpack what’s actually happening beneath the surface in early-stage AI startups.
Peter’s team has a privileged vantage point—cap tables, valuations, and hiring data across 45,000 startups and 83% of U.S. unicorns.
We explore:
- a common equity mistake that’s quietly killing fundraising chances
- why AI founders are raising bigger rounds… and keeping more of their companies
- how lean teams are pushing out serious ARR—and what that means for hiring
- the valuation delta between AI and non-AI startups—and why that window may be closing
If you’re raising, hiring, or advising an AI startup in this market, this one’s for you.
