Darren Cohen, Michael Brandmeier
Darren Cohen, Co-Head and Chief Investment Officer of Goldman Sachs' Growth Equity platform, leverages his 25-year career spanning the dot-com bust, the 2008 financial crisis, and the 2021–2023 correction to apply a risk-focused, "peace of mind" driven investment philosophy. Cohen identifies AI integration in SaaS, engineering productivity tools, and healthcare technology as primary secular opportunities while predicting a near-term convergence of private and public valuations that will force late-stage software companies toward IPOs. His approach prioritizes building scalable operating platforms for founders and maintaining disciplined risk management to generate consistent returns as the market transitions from speculative excess to sustainable, value-driven growth.

The Hidden Truth About the US Energy Grid: Subsidies, Demand & Rising Prices - Chris Wright
Chris Wright, Secretary Wright, Chamath, Jason, Friedberg
Secretary Wright outlines an aggressive nuclear and hydrocarbon strategy for the Trump administration, prioritizing regulatory reform and the deployment of Small Modular Reactors on federal land to counter China's rapid expansion in nuclear capabilities. By characterizing current climate policies as economically detrimental, the administration plans to redirect subsidies away from intermittent renewables toward dispatchable sources like natural gas and nuclear to support high-demand sectors such as AI data centers. This approach aims to maximize energy reliability and lower costs while shifting the national focus from climate-first mandates to a human-centric energy security framework.

White House Office of Science and Technology Policy Director Michael Kratsios | Global Conference
Michael Kratsios, David Trulio
The Office of Science and Technology Policy, under a directive from President Trump to Michael Kratzios, has established a national security mandate to secure unchallenged global technological dominance in artificial intelligence, quantum information science, nuclear energy, and biotechnology. This strategy employs a dual approach of promoting domestic innovation through deregulation and strategic R&D investment while protecting critical assets via strict export controls and research security measures designed to limit rival capabilities. The administration aims to operationalize this vision by aligning federal agencies to adopt American technology standards globally and by delivering a comprehensive AI Action Plan that balances scientific ethics with the urgent need for workforce reskilling.

The FDE Playbook for AI Startups with Bob McGrew
Originating at Palantir to solve intelligence agencies' workflow opacity, the Forward Deployed Engineer model embeds analysts and prototypers at customer sites to drive product discovery through high-touch, outcome-based engagements. This strategy has rapidly spread to the AI sector, where over 100 startups now hire FDEs to bridge the gap between generic large-scale models and specific enterprise needs while securing contracts tied to delivered value rather than usage. As OpenAI’s Bob McGrew observes, these on-site teams function as essential execution layers that extract practical utility from rapidly advancing technology, positioning human ingenuity and adaptive implementation as the primary drivers of market adoption.

The Little Tech Agenda for AI
The Little Tech Agenda advocates for a distinct regulatory framework protecting startups under fifty employees from compliance burdens that inadvertently favor trillion-dollar incumbents like Microsoft and Google. Led by Colin Matt and Kevin McKinley, the firm opposes ex-ante development restrictions and licensing regimes, arguing instead for enforcing existing laws against AI misuse while establishing a centralized federal resource to support smaller builders. With the launch of the Leading the Future PAC, the initiative seeks to shift policy from reactive safetyism to a "win while keeping people safe" approach that prevents a fractured state patchwork and preserves U.S. innovation leadership.
