1 00:00:01,560 --> 00:00:02,400 Speaker 1: From Marhart. 2 00:00:02,400 --> 00:00:06,800 Speaker 2: We're Innovation of Money and Power Collie in Silicon Valley, NBN. 3 00:00:07,160 --> 00:00:11,200 Speaker 2: This is Bloomberg Technology with Caroline Hyde and Ed Ludlove. 4 00:00:25,720 --> 00:00:28,280 Speaker 3: I'm Caroline Hyde of Bloomberg's world headquarters in New York, 5 00:00:28,760 --> 00:00:30,720 Speaker 3: and I'm Ed Ludlow in San Francisco. 6 00:00:30,880 --> 00:00:34,199 Speaker 4: This has been their technology coming up. 7 00:00:34,280 --> 00:00:37,280 Speaker 3: Full earning's coverage ahead as we break down results from Google, 8 00:00:37,320 --> 00:00:39,760 Speaker 3: Microsoft and Snap Plus. 9 00:00:39,760 --> 00:00:42,639 Speaker 5: We'll preview what we can expect from Meta after the bell. 10 00:00:42,720 --> 00:00:46,440 Speaker 5: Today we get a little look at the Quest three headset. 11 00:00:47,520 --> 00:00:49,519 Speaker 3: And later in the hour we will have a conversation 12 00:00:49,600 --> 00:00:52,400 Speaker 3: with the CEO of Qualcom as a chip Verm unveils 13 00:00:52,440 --> 00:00:55,120 Speaker 3: a new processor to take on the likes of Apple 14 00:00:55,200 --> 00:00:57,800 Speaker 3: and Intel. But first let's check in on these markets. 15 00:00:57,800 --> 00:00:59,840 Speaker 3: And we're seeing my voice warming up as we start 16 00:00:59,840 --> 00:01:02,800 Speaker 3: the show. The Nasdaq on the downside end of the moment, 17 00:01:02,800 --> 00:01:05,000 Speaker 3: we're up by one point eight percent. This is as 18 00:01:05,000 --> 00:01:07,560 Speaker 3: we see, of course, well some numbers coming out Google 19 00:01:07,600 --> 00:01:09,280 Speaker 3: to the points. I know you'll get into the nittiqritty 20 00:01:09,280 --> 00:01:11,720 Speaker 3: of the earnings. That just sink some of that well 21 00:01:11,760 --> 00:01:13,520 Speaker 3: buoyancy that we've been seeing in some of the tech 22 00:01:13,600 --> 00:01:15,920 Speaker 3: names of late a big tech on the downside is 23 00:01:15,959 --> 00:01:18,160 Speaker 3: yield to push higher as well. This is actually your 24 00:01:18,160 --> 00:01:20,959 Speaker 3: categorical sort of bear steepening going on at the moment. 25 00:01:21,000 --> 00:01:23,840 Speaker 3: We actually see the yields that a long end of 26 00:01:23,840 --> 00:01:26,240 Speaker 3: the curve, the tens the thirties really selling off more 27 00:01:26,280 --> 00:01:28,160 Speaker 3: yields up some eight nine basis points. We've got a 28 00:01:28,200 --> 00:01:30,360 Speaker 3: big five year auction coming up. We're down at like 29 00:01:30,400 --> 00:01:32,319 Speaker 3: four point nine to one, so not off. We're still 30 00:01:32,319 --> 00:01:35,000 Speaker 3: not those highs ahead of five percent, but still we're 31 00:01:35,000 --> 00:01:36,440 Speaker 3: seeing some sell off in the bond market, and I'm 32 00:01:36,440 --> 00:01:39,480 Speaker 3: looking at Bitcoin continuing to rally. We're up three and 33 00:01:39,480 --> 00:01:42,319 Speaker 3: a half percent. But break down the individual micromoves at 34 00:01:42,319 --> 00:01:42,760 Speaker 3: the moment. 35 00:01:42,680 --> 00:01:44,679 Speaker 4: Ed, Yeah, I mean we are in it. 36 00:01:44,760 --> 00:01:47,120 Speaker 5: This is earnings, and earnings matter again, not just if 37 00:01:47,120 --> 00:01:48,960 Speaker 5: you're an investor, but you get a good lens into 38 00:01:49,000 --> 00:01:52,640 Speaker 5: the end markets, particularly in all kinds of consumer electronics 39 00:01:52,680 --> 00:01:55,360 Speaker 5: and electronics broadly. That's why I look at Texas Instruments 40 00:01:55,400 --> 00:01:58,520 Speaker 5: gave a revenue forecast which suggests that actually those end 41 00:01:58,560 --> 00:02:01,560 Speaker 5: markets are not recovering at the pace that we'd hope. 42 00:02:01,640 --> 00:02:04,440 Speaker 5: Texas Instrument makes all kinds of semiconductors that go into 43 00:02:04,440 --> 00:02:06,920 Speaker 5: all kinds of things. The big ones last night were 44 00:02:07,000 --> 00:02:09,440 Speaker 5: Microsoft and Google. It was a tale of two clouds. 45 00:02:09,880 --> 00:02:12,639 Speaker 5: Mega growth on the cloud side for Microsoft, powered by 46 00:02:12,800 --> 00:02:16,400 Speaker 5: the hype around AI, but Google Cloud miss estimates all 47 00:02:16,440 --> 00:02:18,760 Speaker 5: its other segments beat but Google Cloud missed. And we 48 00:02:18,800 --> 00:02:20,679 Speaker 5: will get into that in just a moment. And as 49 00:02:20,680 --> 00:02:23,840 Speaker 5: you said after the bell, you then have Meta and Snap. 50 00:02:23,919 --> 00:02:25,840 Speaker 5: It's interesting to look at how they trade and the 51 00:02:25,880 --> 00:02:30,680 Speaker 5: structure of this week because oftentimes Alphabet will report earnings first. 52 00:02:30,760 --> 00:02:33,920 Speaker 5: That gives us a lens into the advertising industry resilience 53 00:02:33,960 --> 00:02:37,480 Speaker 5: and stability in search and YouTube, but there is concern 54 00:02:37,680 --> 00:02:40,040 Speaker 5: in Snap and Meta, both down more than two percent. 55 00:02:40,639 --> 00:02:42,960 Speaker 5: We will also get the hardware story of Meta. How 56 00:02:43,000 --> 00:02:45,440 Speaker 5: did Quest three go down on the mixed reality side? 57 00:02:45,520 --> 00:02:48,600 Speaker 5: How much is it committed to spending on its metaverse 58 00:02:48,680 --> 00:02:52,160 Speaker 5: vision alongside working in AI. So much going on, Let's 59 00:02:52,200 --> 00:02:54,680 Speaker 5: digest it all and bring in Daniel Newman, the Future 60 00:02:54,680 --> 00:02:57,520 Speaker 5: and Group CEO, And I think let's start on those 61 00:02:57,880 --> 00:03:00,320 Speaker 5: kind of cloud names, the taiale of two cloud And 62 00:03:00,400 --> 00:03:04,080 Speaker 5: I ask a simple question, why can Microsoft Azual grow 63 00:03:04,120 --> 00:03:08,520 Speaker 5: and Corporate Cloud grow but Google Cloud platform not grow 64 00:03:08,520 --> 00:03:10,240 Speaker 5: in the same way. 65 00:03:11,160 --> 00:03:12,800 Speaker 6: Well, I think It's a bit of a tale of 66 00:03:12,880 --> 00:03:16,080 Speaker 6: good and great. Right now, the market wants great. We 67 00:03:16,160 --> 00:03:20,560 Speaker 6: know the macroeconomic environment is complicated, with interest rates still 68 00:03:20,680 --> 00:03:23,880 Speaker 6: very sticky, we know that inflation is still here, and 69 00:03:23,919 --> 00:03:26,240 Speaker 6: people want blowout results if they're going. 70 00:03:26,080 --> 00:03:29,760 Speaker 7: To send those buy signals. I'm not as bearish on Google. 71 00:03:29,800 --> 00:03:32,280 Speaker 6: I've looked at the technology, I've seen the adoption, I've 72 00:03:32,280 --> 00:03:35,520 Speaker 6: talked to its customers, and twenty two percent growth isn't terrible. 73 00:03:35,960 --> 00:03:38,920 Speaker 6: The company missed by twenty million dollars. Having said that, 74 00:03:39,000 --> 00:03:42,080 Speaker 6: Microsoft returned to a faster pace of growth, and it 75 00:03:42,120 --> 00:03:44,960 Speaker 6: wasn't just the faster pace of growth of Azure. And 76 00:03:45,600 --> 00:03:48,600 Speaker 6: what I think it really was was the company's ability 77 00:03:48,640 --> 00:03:52,200 Speaker 6: to explain how AI is driving revenue, how much Azure 78 00:03:52,640 --> 00:03:56,240 Speaker 6: was being driven three percent versus two percent the. 79 00:03:56,240 --> 00:03:57,320 Speaker 7: Thirty dollars ahead. 80 00:03:57,320 --> 00:04:01,280 Speaker 6: The company's done a magnificent job of explaining its AI 81 00:04:01,320 --> 00:04:04,120 Speaker 6: strategy and how AI is going to drive top line revenue. 82 00:04:04,360 --> 00:04:06,960 Speaker 6: I just don't think Google's story was as compelling there. 83 00:04:07,240 --> 00:04:10,240 Speaker 6: But I'm not as bearish on Google Cloud. There's so 84 00:04:10,360 --> 00:04:13,600 Speaker 6: much cloud growth to come, and our forecasts at Future 85 00:04:13,600 --> 00:04:16,280 Speaker 6: of our Intelligence forecasts say cloud is where it's going 86 00:04:16,320 --> 00:04:18,000 Speaker 6: to happen, and I still think the. 87 00:04:18,640 --> 00:04:20,960 Speaker 4: War is on a danue. 88 00:04:21,040 --> 00:04:23,720 Speaker 5: I spiked rief Parat, who is now the president, chief 89 00:04:23,720 --> 00:04:26,920 Speaker 5: investment officer, and CFO, and she gave me a very 90 00:04:26,920 --> 00:04:31,200 Speaker 5: short answer, customer, cost optimization is what accounted for that 91 00:04:31,279 --> 00:04:32,040 Speaker 5: cloud number? 92 00:04:34,080 --> 00:04:36,280 Speaker 4: What does that mean to your mind? 93 00:04:37,640 --> 00:04:41,520 Speaker 6: Well, so, right now, as I suggested, the macro is 94 00:04:41,600 --> 00:04:45,080 Speaker 6: still complicated and businesses are still sort of weighing invest 95 00:04:45,160 --> 00:04:48,720 Speaker 6: and grow, maybe go a little bit slower. We know 96 00:04:48,880 --> 00:04:53,440 Speaker 6: that the opportunity around AI is very bullish, and companies 97 00:04:53,520 --> 00:04:57,960 Speaker 6: see productivity gains, they see the opportunities to create efficiencies. 98 00:04:58,000 --> 00:05:00,600 Speaker 6: But we're also still hearing about companies laye people off. 99 00:05:01,040 --> 00:05:03,880 Speaker 6: They're weighing how quickly can we make an investment in 100 00:05:03,920 --> 00:05:06,479 Speaker 6: AI and how quickly can we see a return? And 101 00:05:06,520 --> 00:05:09,880 Speaker 6: are we looking to ten x productivity through the investment 102 00:05:09,920 --> 00:05:13,680 Speaker 6: in these capabilities or are we potentially looking to optimize 103 00:05:13,680 --> 00:05:16,440 Speaker 6: and reduce our cost structures. And until we see a 104 00:05:16,440 --> 00:05:19,960 Speaker 6: little bit more stability in the macro environment, I think 105 00:05:20,000 --> 00:05:23,760 Speaker 6: companies are going to be a little bit more cautious. 106 00:05:23,839 --> 00:05:26,200 Speaker 6: So this is where Microsoft kind of stood out, and 107 00:05:26,320 --> 00:05:28,800 Speaker 6: it looked across their portfolio it wasn't the same Like 108 00:05:28,800 --> 00:05:31,520 Speaker 6: in Microsoft, everyone's just go, go go, but I don't 109 00:05:31,560 --> 00:05:33,640 Speaker 6: necessarily know that that's true across the board. 110 00:05:35,400 --> 00:05:38,800 Speaker 3: Okay, interesting that you're saying, Still the macro picture is mixed. 111 00:05:39,000 --> 00:05:42,159 Speaker 3: Drill into what really Microsoft was showing that it's in 112 00:05:42,200 --> 00:05:43,559 Speaker 3: the right markets at the right time. 113 00:05:44,760 --> 00:05:47,599 Speaker 6: I think they have told the story longer. They have 114 00:05:47,760 --> 00:05:51,120 Speaker 6: their numbers and their metrics well defined. We're talking about 115 00:05:51,400 --> 00:05:54,279 Speaker 6: specifically being able to bear into what part of the business. 116 00:05:54,320 --> 00:05:55,960 Speaker 6: I mean, you're talking about maybe a one to two 117 00:05:56,000 --> 00:05:58,480 Speaker 6: percent depending on the currency adjustment on a year over 118 00:05:58,560 --> 00:06:01,440 Speaker 6: year growth basis, But it was master growth than Google 119 00:06:01,520 --> 00:06:04,360 Speaker 6: twenty two versus upper twenties, and so everyone's saying, Ooh, 120 00:06:04,400 --> 00:06:08,039 Speaker 6: Google bad, Microsoft good. I actually think the weight went 121 00:06:08,120 --> 00:06:11,160 Speaker 6: to the company being able to explain its Azure growth 122 00:06:11,200 --> 00:06:12,720 Speaker 6: and the AI impact. 123 00:06:12,400 --> 00:06:14,719 Speaker 7: Of it three percent versus two percent. 124 00:06:14,440 --> 00:06:16,880 Speaker 6: Meaning more and more of the revenue in Azure is 125 00:06:17,279 --> 00:06:20,160 Speaker 6: related to the company's AI. And then over the last quarter, 126 00:06:20,200 --> 00:06:22,880 Speaker 6: it's been able to talk about its AIPC concepts. It's 127 00:06:22,920 --> 00:06:25,360 Speaker 6: been able to talk about it's thirty dollars per head 128 00:06:25,360 --> 00:06:28,320 Speaker 6: for Copilot, five dollars per head for being enterprise search. 129 00:06:28,680 --> 00:06:29,520 Speaker 7: With Copilot. 130 00:06:29,600 --> 00:06:33,080 Speaker 6: These capabilities are very easy for someone to plug into 131 00:06:33,080 --> 00:06:35,360 Speaker 6: a spreadsheet and say, where's the growth going to come 132 00:06:35,400 --> 00:06:38,240 Speaker 6: from the TAM expansion. And if Microsoft keeps going and 133 00:06:38,240 --> 00:06:40,920 Speaker 6: getting their story out better, it puts all the other 134 00:06:41,000 --> 00:06:43,960 Speaker 6: cloud players at a disadvantage. So that's why I said, 135 00:06:43,960 --> 00:06:45,800 Speaker 6: it's not a tale of good and bad, but it 136 00:06:45,839 --> 00:06:49,080 Speaker 6: is a tale of okay, good and great. And Microsoft 137 00:06:49,080 --> 00:06:51,120 Speaker 6: did a great job of explaining their AI story. 138 00:06:52,880 --> 00:06:54,400 Speaker 3: You did a great job explaining it to us. We 139 00:06:54,440 --> 00:06:57,039 Speaker 3: thank you, Dan and Newman A feature and group of course, 140 00:06:57,080 --> 00:07:00,200 Speaker 3: all things alphabet Microsoft. Let's turn to Snap because well 141 00:07:00,200 --> 00:07:02,360 Speaker 3: this is kind of a macro picture for us as well. 142 00:07:02,400 --> 00:07:04,960 Speaker 3: And but please to welcome Jasmin Emberg, a principle analyst 143 00:07:04,960 --> 00:07:07,800 Speaker 3: in Insider Intelligence. You lead coverage for social media for 144 00:07:08,120 --> 00:07:12,920 Speaker 3: Creator Economy, and well, Snap actually managing to initially rally 145 00:07:13,120 --> 00:07:15,480 Speaker 3: on the fact that its numbers looked better than expected. 146 00:07:15,560 --> 00:07:19,000 Speaker 3: But is this fragile or is this showing actually a 147 00:07:19,080 --> 00:07:20,920 Speaker 3: return to growth when it comes to markets? 148 00:07:21,920 --> 00:07:24,240 Speaker 8: Well, I look, the revenue growth in Q three was 149 00:07:24,320 --> 00:07:27,840 Speaker 8: certainly good news for investors and others who've been wondering 150 00:07:27,880 --> 00:07:30,400 Speaker 8: whether Snap has what it takes to turn its ad 151 00:07:30,440 --> 00:07:33,920 Speaker 8: business around. I think there are some worries and some concerns, 152 00:07:33,920 --> 00:07:38,840 Speaker 8: specifically around the impact of the Israel Hama's war on 153 00:07:38,880 --> 00:07:42,320 Speaker 8: its ad business in Q four, which Snap itself warned about. 154 00:07:42,680 --> 00:07:45,480 Speaker 8: Q four tends to be a quarter that is more 155 00:07:45,520 --> 00:07:49,120 Speaker 8: heavily weighted towards brand advertising. Brands tend to be more 156 00:07:49,200 --> 00:07:51,600 Speaker 8: risk averse, so it's possible that there will be some 157 00:07:51,960 --> 00:07:54,200 Speaker 8: impact on it. But I think in three months from now, 158 00:07:54,240 --> 00:07:56,840 Speaker 8: we also have to remember that Snap is on a 159 00:07:56,880 --> 00:07:59,400 Speaker 8: good path and if it can continue this momentum, it 160 00:07:59,440 --> 00:08:01,760 Speaker 8: will end the year in a better place than where 161 00:08:01,760 --> 00:08:02,160 Speaker 8: it began. 162 00:08:04,360 --> 00:08:06,880 Speaker 3: I'm interested as to where it's invested. We were just 163 00:08:06,880 --> 00:08:09,280 Speaker 3: talking about how Microsoft got itself in the right place 164 00:08:09,280 --> 00:08:12,520 Speaker 3: at the right time around AI, and Snap was really 165 00:08:12,560 --> 00:08:15,120 Speaker 3: innovating in that space, but it didn't pay off. How 166 00:08:15,120 --> 00:08:18,040 Speaker 3: are we seeing those innovations eventually looking to reap some reward. 167 00:08:19,040 --> 00:08:21,320 Speaker 8: Well, I think AI is where Snap needs to be 168 00:08:21,360 --> 00:08:23,920 Speaker 8: innovating right now, and it's definitely made some moves in 169 00:08:23,920 --> 00:08:26,560 Speaker 8: that direction. At the end of Q three, it's shuttered 170 00:08:26,600 --> 00:08:31,640 Speaker 8: it's ares areas, excuse me, it's ar licensing division, which 171 00:08:31,760 --> 00:08:34,720 Speaker 8: when I saw the technology was really promising. But I 172 00:08:34,760 --> 00:08:37,800 Speaker 8: think with the focus being on AI right now. Those 173 00:08:37,840 --> 00:08:42,360 Speaker 8: investments were becoming really difficult to maintain and to justify 174 00:08:42,400 --> 00:08:43,199 Speaker 8: it for the company. 175 00:08:44,800 --> 00:08:46,880 Speaker 5: So the big one after the bell is Meta. And 176 00:08:46,960 --> 00:08:48,560 Speaker 5: you heard me say at the top of the program, 177 00:08:48,640 --> 00:08:51,160 Speaker 5: jazmind it. You know the shares are lower. I think 178 00:08:51,200 --> 00:08:54,560 Speaker 5: folks look at Alphabet and think broadly about advertising, and 179 00:08:54,600 --> 00:08:57,200 Speaker 5: then they think about Meta. But the meta story got 180 00:08:57,200 --> 00:09:01,400 Speaker 5: so complicated metaverse or no metaverse? Then AI, and then 181 00:09:01,400 --> 00:09:03,520 Speaker 5: the bread and butter is ads. What are you expecting? 182 00:09:04,559 --> 00:09:06,480 Speaker 8: Well, in terms of the ad business, there is a 183 00:09:06,520 --> 00:09:08,600 Speaker 8: lot to like about Meta right now. You know, it 184 00:09:08,679 --> 00:09:12,520 Speaker 8: started its rebound already in Q two, and internally we're 185 00:09:12,520 --> 00:09:16,080 Speaker 8: predicting more of the same this quarter. I'll be looking 186 00:09:16,160 --> 00:09:18,920 Speaker 8: to see more about Real's monetization, which we know is 187 00:09:18,960 --> 00:09:21,920 Speaker 8: monetizing at a better rate right now. I'm also curious 188 00:09:21,960 --> 00:09:25,600 Speaker 8: to hear more about the subscription service that it's potentially 189 00:09:25,679 --> 00:09:28,719 Speaker 8: rolling out in Europe, as well as Threads monetization. We've 190 00:09:28,760 --> 00:09:31,280 Speaker 8: seen maybe perhaps a little bit of an uptick and 191 00:09:31,360 --> 00:09:33,840 Speaker 8: engagement on that platform. At least Meta is trying to 192 00:09:33,920 --> 00:09:36,720 Speaker 8: drive more usage there, so be curious to see how 193 00:09:36,760 --> 00:09:38,280 Speaker 8: those things start playing out. 194 00:09:39,760 --> 00:09:42,679 Speaker 5: All right, Jasmine Enberg of Insider Intelligence. Great to have 195 00:09:42,760 --> 00:09:46,480 Speaker 5: you on the program. Let's stick with meta Its first 196 00:09:46,520 --> 00:09:50,560 Speaker 5: truly mixed reality headset, The Quest three is available and 197 00:09:50,600 --> 00:09:53,520 Speaker 5: the expectation is we'll be talking about it at earnings 198 00:09:53,520 --> 00:09:54,120 Speaker 5: after the bell. 199 00:09:54,360 --> 00:09:56,160 Speaker 4: I've got hands on check this out. 200 00:09:57,040 --> 00:10:00,760 Speaker 5: Meta's Quest three, the latest mixed reality had set, is 201 00:10:00,880 --> 00:10:03,679 Speaker 5: lighter and thinner than Quest two, but with similar video 202 00:10:03,720 --> 00:10:06,920 Speaker 5: game style wireless controllers. Launching apps and games is smoother 203 00:10:07,120 --> 00:10:10,160 Speaker 5: with improved graphics. That's partly down to an updated processor, 204 00:10:10,240 --> 00:10:13,319 Speaker 5: a second generation Qualcomm Snapdragon. 205 00:10:13,040 --> 00:10:13,880 Speaker 4: XR two chip. 206 00:10:13,960 --> 00:10:16,199 Speaker 5: The five hundred dollars Quest three allows you to switch 207 00:10:16,240 --> 00:10:21,040 Speaker 5: between augmented reality and virtual reality modes. You can play games, exercise, 208 00:10:21,280 --> 00:10:24,760 Speaker 5: and explore virtual galaxies. Augmented reality is powered by dual 209 00:10:24,760 --> 00:10:28,520 Speaker 5: colour pass through cameras. This game projects puffians you have 210 00:10:28,600 --> 00:10:31,480 Speaker 5: to catch against the backdrop of the real world around you. 211 00:10:31,640 --> 00:10:33,880 Speaker 5: The virtual world you can explore in the Quest three 212 00:10:34,040 --> 00:10:37,720 Speaker 5: also have higher resolution. More games are coming. Metas partnered 213 00:10:37,760 --> 00:10:40,800 Speaker 5: with Microsoft to bring Xbox Cloud Gaming to the device 214 00:10:41,040 --> 00:10:44,360 Speaker 5: in December. I also got quite a workout boxing in 215 00:10:44,400 --> 00:10:48,520 Speaker 5: full virtual reality. We also tested the latest Meta smart glasses, 216 00:10:48,800 --> 00:10:51,560 Speaker 5: made in partnership with RayBan Metas upgraded the tech with 217 00:10:51,640 --> 00:10:55,480 Speaker 5: a twelve megapixel camera and five microphones. The glasses can 218 00:10:55,520 --> 00:10:59,120 Speaker 5: take photos, record video, and start a live stream through 219 00:10:59,240 --> 00:11:03,680 Speaker 5: voice control. A static led light indicates a photo being taken, 220 00:11:04,000 --> 00:11:07,760 Speaker 5: flashing light means a video is being captured. The glasses 221 00:11:07,840 --> 00:11:11,120 Speaker 5: also come equipped with Meta AI, the company's AI assistant. 222 00:11:11,280 --> 00:11:17,080 Speaker 5: Hey Meta, take a photo. You can send content directly 223 00:11:17,120 --> 00:11:20,000 Speaker 5: from the glasses to a friend via a Messenger or WhatsApp, 224 00:11:20,120 --> 00:11:23,560 Speaker 5: and live stream video to Instagram or Facebook. 225 00:11:34,760 --> 00:11:37,640 Speaker 3: We've all been affected in it one way or another. Families, friends, 226 00:11:37,640 --> 00:11:41,320 Speaker 3: fertility treatments. They're often very expensive and in some areas 227 00:11:41,360 --> 00:11:44,760 Speaker 3: actually inaccessible. As why startups like Geya they aim to 228 00:11:44,760 --> 00:11:47,599 Speaker 3: prioritize inclusivity for its customers. In fact, the company was 229 00:11:47,640 --> 00:11:49,720 Speaker 3: launched in twenty twenty two and it's raised already twenty 230 00:11:49,720 --> 00:11:52,600 Speaker 3: three million dollars. Has also been featured on Bloomberg's UK's 231 00:11:52,640 --> 00:11:55,040 Speaker 3: list of startups to watch. Tell us a little bit more. 232 00:11:55,240 --> 00:11:57,760 Speaker 3: Let's see Art's chief of staff over at Gaya and 233 00:11:58,360 --> 00:12:00,360 Speaker 3: can you just explain a little bit about in at 234 00:12:00,520 --> 00:12:04,800 Speaker 3: innovative model here? How are you enabling basically any partnership 235 00:12:04,840 --> 00:12:07,880 Speaker 3: to be able to look at accessing IBF. Yeah, absolutely so. 236 00:12:08,000 --> 00:12:10,080 Speaker 9: Guya was really born out of our founder and nadows 237 00:12:10,120 --> 00:12:12,920 Speaker 9: like experience with IVF and he first hand went through 238 00:12:13,280 --> 00:12:16,280 Speaker 9: five IVF cycles, four failed rounds, and he just realized 239 00:12:16,559 --> 00:12:19,000 Speaker 9: how broken the system really was, and the first thing 240 00:12:19,040 --> 00:12:21,120 Speaker 9: he wanted to improve was access because he saw the 241 00:12:21,120 --> 00:12:23,360 Speaker 9: financial gamble that people take. You have to save up 242 00:12:23,400 --> 00:12:25,439 Speaker 9: all this money upfront in order to go through treatment. 243 00:12:26,000 --> 00:12:28,720 Speaker 9: And so what we've done at Gia's we've basically created 244 00:12:28,760 --> 00:12:31,560 Speaker 9: the most affordable way to start and protect your treatment. 245 00:12:31,679 --> 00:12:35,120 Speaker 9: So people will pay Gaya a small protection fee to 246 00:12:35,200 --> 00:12:38,000 Speaker 9: start treatment, and then GIA pays the clinics and takes 247 00:12:38,600 --> 00:12:41,120 Speaker 9: care of the whole administrative burden that goes on, you know, 248 00:12:41,160 --> 00:12:43,679 Speaker 9: behind the scenes, like paying invoices and all of that, 249 00:12:43,760 --> 00:12:46,040 Speaker 9: and the member just focuses on going through treatment and 250 00:12:46,080 --> 00:12:48,720 Speaker 9: they pay Guya back in monthly installments if and when 251 00:12:48,720 --> 00:12:50,559 Speaker 9: they have a child, and if they don't have a child, 252 00:12:50,600 --> 00:12:51,640 Speaker 9: they have nothing more to pay. 253 00:12:52,280 --> 00:12:54,680 Speaker 3: So, but how do you take on that financial burden 254 00:12:54,720 --> 00:12:59,199 Speaker 3: if after desperately sad several rounds, they decided are they 255 00:12:59,360 --> 00:13:01,520 Speaker 3: inevitably believe realized they can't have a chance. 256 00:13:01,720 --> 00:13:03,600 Speaker 9: How does guya take on that pund Yeah, So we 257 00:13:03,640 --> 00:13:05,760 Speaker 9: actually have insurers who underwrite the risk for us. So 258 00:13:05,760 --> 00:13:08,320 Speaker 9: we've built a model based on you know, million data 259 00:13:08,320 --> 00:13:10,600 Speaker 9: points from clinical data sets of all the IVF outcomes 260 00:13:10,640 --> 00:13:13,400 Speaker 9: since the early nineties, and so we predict our members' 261 00:13:13,440 --> 00:13:16,080 Speaker 9: chances of success over a certain number of rounds, and 262 00:13:16,160 --> 00:13:17,480 Speaker 9: our underwriters take. 263 00:13:17,280 --> 00:13:20,920 Speaker 3: On that risk. So how innovative was this story to 264 00:13:20,920 --> 00:13:23,240 Speaker 3: be able to tell to vcs? How easy was it 265 00:13:23,320 --> 00:13:26,200 Speaker 3: to convince and to raise money or not? As case maybe, so. 266 00:13:26,240 --> 00:13:28,480 Speaker 9: I think it was quite difficult, and especially actually, you know, 267 00:13:28,520 --> 00:13:30,760 Speaker 9: at first, to convince the underwriters this is like a 268 00:13:30,800 --> 00:13:32,319 Speaker 9: new model. And so we feel very lucky to have 269 00:13:32,360 --> 00:13:35,319 Speaker 9: been backed by three incredible underwriters who really understood and 270 00:13:35,360 --> 00:13:37,400 Speaker 9: worked with us to build this product from the ground up. 271 00:13:37,840 --> 00:13:39,800 Speaker 9: And we're also incredibly lucky to have vcs who really 272 00:13:39,880 --> 00:13:42,040 Speaker 9: understand the space and you know, didn't dismiss it as 273 00:13:42,080 --> 00:13:45,120 Speaker 9: a more niche sort of you know, woman's health topic 274 00:13:45,160 --> 00:13:47,880 Speaker 9: and really understood like how big and important the topic was. 275 00:13:47,920 --> 00:13:50,400 Speaker 9: And so we feel very lucky with our backers. Our 276 00:13:50,440 --> 00:13:51,079 Speaker 9: underwriters are. 277 00:13:51,040 --> 00:13:53,839 Speaker 3: Not our vcs, and it's notable that you know, might 278 00:13:53,880 --> 00:13:57,200 Speaker 3: be labeled femtech, but male founder and IVF problems are 279 00:13:57,600 --> 00:14:00,400 Speaker 3: also male and female in many ways. And I mean 280 00:14:00,640 --> 00:14:02,880 Speaker 3: I'm sat here today because of IVF. So this is 281 00:14:02,920 --> 00:14:05,480 Speaker 3: a long term set of data points you can lean 282 00:14:05,520 --> 00:14:08,880 Speaker 3: on how easy or difficult was it to access that data? 283 00:14:08,920 --> 00:14:10,560 Speaker 9: So you have to do sort of an application with 284 00:14:10,600 --> 00:14:13,400 Speaker 9: a research you know, assistant who's helping us get access 285 00:14:13,400 --> 00:14:15,480 Speaker 9: to it. And we've done a huge amount of research, 286 00:14:15,520 --> 00:14:17,840 Speaker 9: you know, looking into whether it be AMI effects it, 287 00:14:17,840 --> 00:14:19,880 Speaker 9: whether you should have BEMI cutoff points, age cut off 288 00:14:19,880 --> 00:14:22,560 Speaker 9: points to really also increase access in that manner, and 289 00:14:22,600 --> 00:14:25,720 Speaker 9: so you have to put an application to access it. 290 00:14:25,760 --> 00:14:27,680 Speaker 9: And we you know, we get data from our partner 291 00:14:27,680 --> 00:14:30,240 Speaker 9: clinics and all anonymous, but we work hard to get 292 00:14:30,320 --> 00:14:31,800 Speaker 9: data to make sure we're increasing access. 293 00:14:32,160 --> 00:14:34,960 Speaker 3: Is it all British data or a UK based company? 294 00:14:35,000 --> 00:14:37,360 Speaker 3: Are you learned to go geographically wider? 295 00:14:37,400 --> 00:14:39,600 Speaker 9: Yeah, we're currently based in the UK, but definitely also 296 00:14:39,600 --> 00:14:41,240 Speaker 9: operate in Spain and Greece because there's a lot of 297 00:14:41,280 --> 00:14:43,640 Speaker 9: IVF tourism to these countries and then we are looking 298 00:14:43,680 --> 00:14:45,520 Speaker 9: to expand to more markets, So more news on that 299 00:14:45,560 --> 00:14:46,240 Speaker 9: early next year. 300 00:14:46,600 --> 00:14:50,320 Speaker 3: And how different is it accessing different markets in different 301 00:14:50,520 --> 00:14:53,880 Speaker 3: ways in which IVF is offered and functions and indeed 302 00:14:53,920 --> 00:14:57,000 Speaker 3: access to data in different geographies. 303 00:14:57,040 --> 00:14:58,320 Speaker 9: Yeah, it's a good question. I mean, so in a 304 00:14:58,360 --> 00:15:00,520 Speaker 9: lot of countries, you know, you have different funding by 305 00:15:00,560 --> 00:15:03,480 Speaker 9: the states. Some countries are better than others. UK, like 306 00:15:03,520 --> 00:15:05,840 Speaker 9: sixty five percent of IVF cycles are paid out of pocket. 307 00:15:06,200 --> 00:15:09,720 Speaker 9: US is another high private pay market, and so you know, 308 00:15:09,760 --> 00:15:11,280 Speaker 9: you do have to look at what exists in these 309 00:15:11,320 --> 00:15:15,480 Speaker 9: market before before entering. In terms of getting access to data, 310 00:15:15,880 --> 00:15:18,560 Speaker 9: it's about like working with our partners, working with researchers. 311 00:15:19,800 --> 00:15:21,360 Speaker 9: The good thing about IVF is that it does have 312 00:15:21,440 --> 00:15:23,920 Speaker 9: outcome data from since IVF started and then you know 313 00:15:24,040 --> 00:15:28,440 Speaker 9: in the seventies, nineteen seventy eight. Yeah, exactly, So we 314 00:15:28,480 --> 00:15:30,120 Speaker 9: do have all that outcome data that we have access 315 00:15:30,160 --> 00:15:32,160 Speaker 9: to and that we that we can use in order 316 00:15:32,160 --> 00:15:33,000 Speaker 9: to improve our models. 317 00:15:33,080 --> 00:15:35,280 Speaker 3: And I'm pretty sure AI is going to be being 318 00:15:35,320 --> 00:15:37,840 Speaker 3: pretty useful as well. Alexia, it's great to have some 319 00:15:37,880 --> 00:15:40,800 Speaker 3: time with you. Thank you, of course, featured on our 320 00:15:40,920 --> 00:15:43,280 Speaker 3: Startups to Watch list here in the UK, Alexia. 321 00:15:43,000 --> 00:15:54,320 Speaker 10: Arts of Gaya. Time now for talking tech. 322 00:15:54,440 --> 00:15:57,680 Speaker 3: First up, the Chinese government calling it's proven to fox 323 00:15:57,720 --> 00:16:01,400 Speaker 3: con quote normal law enforcement Chinese state media announced this 324 00:16:01,440 --> 00:16:04,800 Speaker 3: weekend that government regulators are conducting tax audits and reviewing 325 00:16:04,840 --> 00:16:07,480 Speaker 3: land use of fox Con. Fox Con says it will 326 00:16:07,480 --> 00:16:11,000 Speaker 3: work with authorities. Meanwhile, Japan is aiming to secure an 327 00:16:11,000 --> 00:16:14,640 Speaker 3: additional ten billion dollars in subsidies for two semiconductor projects. 328 00:16:14,640 --> 00:16:16,880 Speaker 3: More than half will be set aside for a second 329 00:16:16,920 --> 00:16:20,200 Speaker 3: TSMC factory in southwestern Japan. The new factory is expected 330 00:16:20,240 --> 00:16:24,120 Speaker 3: to make nanometer logic chips. Plus Apple Well, It's set 331 00:16:24,160 --> 00:16:26,880 Speaker 3: to revamp its TV app as part of an effort 332 00:16:26,960 --> 00:16:29,000 Speaker 3: to become well a larger player in the streaming world. 333 00:16:29,240 --> 00:16:32,560 Speaker 3: Changes include discontinuing apps on the Apple TV set top 334 00:16:32,640 --> 00:16:35,440 Speaker 3: box and let users buy and rent movies and shows. 335 00:16:35,600 --> 00:16:38,520 Speaker 3: We'll also remove the movie and TV show sections from 336 00:16:38,560 --> 00:16:41,880 Speaker 3: the iTunes store app and for more.

Today, Mark just 339 00:16:47,560 --> 00:16:49,760 Speaker 3: tell us a little bit about how they think these 340 00:16:49,840 --> 00:16:51,040 Speaker 3: changes will help them compete. 341 00:16:51,920 --> 00:16:53,800 Speaker 1: Yeah, this is a pretty big upgrade coming to the 342 00:16:53,840 --> 00:16:56,720 Speaker 1: TV app on the Apple TV. They're adding a new 343 00:16:56,760 --> 00:16:58,920 Speaker 1: sidebar and a new interface that makes it look more 344 00:16:58,960 --> 00:17:01,960 Speaker 1: like Netflix. The current TV app, if anyone has used 345 00:17:01,960 --> 00:17:05,159 Speaker 1: it on the Apple TV is not very intuitive. The 346 00:17:05,160 --> 00:17:08,120 Speaker 1: idea is to aggregate content from a number of sources. 347 00:17:08,160 --> 00:17:10,960 Speaker 1: TV Plus, which by the way, Apple announced this morning, 348 00:17:11,000 --> 00:17:13,280 Speaker 1: is getting a price increase from seven dollars a month 349 00:17:13,280 --> 00:17:15,200 Speaker 1: to ten dollars a month, and I'm sure we'll talk 350 00:17:15,240 --> 00:17:17,520 Speaker 1: more about that over the course of the day. It 351 00:17:17,560 --> 00:17:22,440 Speaker 1: integrates from there apps like ESPN, Amazon Prime Live News. 352 00:17:22,240 --> 00:17:23,800 Speaker 7: Other live sports networks, but. 353 00:17:23,800 --> 00:17:26,080 Speaker 1: It's a little confusing to navigate, so this is designed 354 00:17:26,080 --> 00:17:28,800 Speaker 1: to simplify it. They're also going to be removing the 355 00:17:28,880 --> 00:17:32,000 Speaker 1: iTunes Movie and iTunes TV Show apps from the Apple 356 00:17:32,040 --> 00:17:35,320 Speaker 1: TV and from the iTunes Store app on iOS. The 357 00:17:35,359 --> 00:17:37,199 Speaker 1: reason they're doing that is you can already buy that 358 00:17:37,280 --> 00:17:39,480 Speaker 1: content in the TV app, and they want to push 359 00:17:39,600 --> 00:17:42,600 Speaker 1: anyone looking to watch video on their devices to the 360 00:17:42,640 --> 00:17:45,720 Speaker 1: TV app. Obviously that's the center of their video strategy. 361 00:17:45,720 --> 00:17:48,080 Speaker 1: Now that's where you can sign up for these subscriptions, 362 00:17:48,280 --> 00:17:51,480 Speaker 1: both Apple TV channel add ons plus the now ten 363 00:17:51,520 --> 00:17:52,879 Speaker 1: dollars a month TV Plus service. 364 00:17:53,680 --> 00:17:55,000 Speaker 4: You're right that we'll talk about it. 365 00:17:55,040 --> 00:17:57,040 Speaker 5: The breaking news of the day is that Apple is 366 00:17:57,119 --> 00:18:01,560 Speaker 5: raised prices marked across basically all of it services where 367 00:18:01,560 --> 00:18:05,400 Speaker 5: the price increases and why really, Yeah, so. 368 00:18:05,320 --> 00:18:07,000 Speaker 1: Going from seven a month to ten a month for 369 00:18:07,000 --> 00:18:09,720 Speaker 1: Apple TV Plus. Now over the past year they've doubled 370 00:18:09,720 --> 00:18:11,760 Speaker 1: the price because they increased it from five to seven 371 00:18:11,800 --> 00:18:14,600 Speaker 1: dollars a month October last year, so now ten dollars 372 00:18:14,640 --> 00:18:17,720 Speaker 1: a month for Apple TV plus Apple Music that price 373 00:18:17,760 --> 00:18:21,120 Speaker 1: increase from ten to eleven dollars last year. That remains, 374 00:18:21,440 --> 00:18:24,240 Speaker 1: but Newsplus is going from ten dollars a month to 375 00:18:24,280 --> 00:18:27,160 Speaker 1: thirteen dollars per month, and Apple Arcade is going from 376 00:18:27,560 --> 00:18:30,120 Speaker 1: five dollars a month to seven dollars a month now. 377 00:18:30,119 --> 00:18:33,000 Speaker 1: These increases come as they've expanded the content offerings in 378 00:18:33,040 --> 00:18:36,240 Speaker 1: both Apple Arcade as well as Apple TV Plus. Apple 379 00:18:36,240 --> 00:18:40,040 Speaker 1: tv Plus is getting more shows very frequently. There have 380 00:18:40,119 --> 00:18:43,840 Speaker 1: been hits lately. Obviously, everyone's been talking about the Scorsese. 381 00:18:43,440 --> 00:18:44,160 Speaker 7: Movie on there. 382 00:18:44,800 --> 00:18:47,360 Speaker 1: Apple Arcade, they've doubled the amount of games they've had 383 00:18:47,359 --> 00:18:49,159 Speaker 1: on there since they launched it at five dollars a 384 00:18:49,160 --> 00:18:52,520 Speaker 1: month in twenty nineteen. News Plus they need more revenue 385 00:18:52,560 --> 00:18:56,119 Speaker 1: to pay publishers more money. Right, publishers are even losing 386 00:18:56,119 --> 00:18:58,520 Speaker 1: money or not making so much money on Newsplus, so 387 00:18:58,560 --> 00:19:01,200 Speaker 1: hopefully publishers are now going to get an increased revenue 388 00:19:01,240 --> 00:19:03,560 Speaker 1: share because of this, rather than the money going into 389 00:19:03,600 --> 00:19:07,160 Speaker 1: Apple's pocket. In terms of their other services, Apple one 390 00:19:07,240 --> 00:19:09,679 Speaker 1: bundles those who went up quite significantly as well to 391 00:19:09,720 --> 00:19:13,240 Speaker 1: incorporate those price increases. But Fitness Plus and iCloud. 392 00:19:13,000 --> 00:19:13,600 Speaker 3: Stay the same. 393 00:19:14,359 --> 00:19:16,919 Speaker 4: I think that's Mark German and all things Apple. Thank you. 394 00:19:17,600 --> 00:19:20,960 Speaker 5: Also out across the Bloomberg universe, Ruin is the first 395 00:19:20,960 --> 00:19:25,320 Speaker 5: documentary by Bloomberg originals that dives into the collapse of FTX, 396 00:19:25,359 --> 00:19:28,800 Speaker 5: as narrated by Bloomberg journalists and some of the central 397 00:19:28,920 --> 00:19:31,120 Speaker 5: players in the rise of these assets. 398 00:19:31,119 --> 00:19:32,920 Speaker 4: Here's a sneak preview of the film. 399 00:19:33,480 --> 00:19:36,520 Speaker 6: I don't think he even had almost a conception at 400 00:19:36,520 --> 00:19:38,680 Speaker 6: some points that it was wrong or right. 401 00:19:38,920 --> 00:19:40,640 Speaker 4: I think he just had the mentality that he has 402 00:19:40,680 --> 00:19:40,960 Speaker 4: to win. 403 00:19:41,080 --> 00:19:45,520 Speaker 1: It was almost like trying to explain like business ethics 404 00:19:45,560 --> 00:19:46,680 Speaker 1: one O one to a baby. 405 00:19:47,400 --> 00:19:50,160 Speaker 11: Sama has basically become a villain in everyone's minds. 406 00:19:50,520 --> 00:19:53,760 Speaker 3: This committee will not stop until we uncover the bull 407 00:19:53,840 --> 00:19:57,159 Speaker 3: through behind the collapse of FTX. Will this be the 408 00:19:57,240 --> 00:19:58,120 Speaker 3: last of its kind? 409 00:19:58,480 --> 00:20:01,280 Speaker 7: No, this is the nature of happened was and get. 410 00:20:01,000 --> 00:20:11,080 Speaker 5: Over joining us with more Bloomberg's Max Chafkin, and my goodness, 411 00:20:11,160 --> 00:20:13,359 Speaker 5: what a project to be involved and tell us about it. 412 00:20:13,720 --> 00:20:16,080 Speaker 12: Yeah, I mean, and it's it's continuing on.

You know, this 415 00:20:22,920 --> 00:20:26,280 Speaker 12: is has been a year of just crazy news, a 416 00:20:26,359 --> 00:20:29,800 Speaker 12: time in which Sam Bankman Freed went from being you know, 417 00:20:30,160 --> 00:20:32,920 Speaker 12: seen as as one of the members of the establishment, 418 00:20:33,160 --> 00:20:35,879 Speaker 12: you know, the one of the youngest billionaires ever to 419 00:20:36,000 --> 00:20:39,800 Speaker 12: being potentially facing a life sentence and we could you know, 420 00:20:39,840 --> 00:20:43,000 Speaker 12: get a verdict as as early as next week, if 421 00:20:43,040 --> 00:20:46,160 Speaker 12: not the week after.

And he 433 00:21:23,480 --> 00:21:26,920 Speaker 12: essentially attempted the same strategy on the way down right. 434 00:21:26,960 --> 00:21:30,639 Speaker 12: We saw him talking giving these kind of bizarre, meandering 435 00:21:30,680 --> 00:21:35,200 Speaker 12: interviews in the month, weeks and months after FTX had 436 00:21:35,200 --> 00:21:37,520 Speaker 12: gone bankrupt. And again I think we're going to see 437 00:21:37,640 --> 00:21:40,800 Speaker 12: kind of a crescendo of that when he takes the stand. 438 00:21:41,080 --> 00:21:42,680 Speaker 4: This is somebody who. 439 00:21:42,800 --> 00:21:44,920 Speaker 12: Has you know, been able to wrap a lot of 440 00:21:44,960 --> 00:21:53,200 Speaker 12: people around his finger and watching that all unravel again staggering. 441 00:21:51,400 --> 00:21:54,320 Speaker 5: Moos mats Chefkin, thank you very much and ruin money, 442 00:21:54,400 --> 00:21:58,359 Speaker 5: ego and deception at FTX as Wednesday at eight pm 443 00:21:58,440 --> 00:22:10,560 Speaker 5: New York time here on Bloomberg Television, Welcome back to 444 00:22:10,560 --> 00:22:14,560 Speaker 5: Bloomberg Technology.

In the UK 448 00:22:22,720 --> 00:22:25,840 Speaker 3: it's VC spotlight. Just two months ago, Silicon Valley firm IVP, 449 00:22:26,320 --> 00:22:29,800 Speaker 3: born in the nineteen eighties, took a leap across the pond, 450 00:22:29,880 --> 00:22:32,840 Speaker 3: opening office right here in London. Nearly twenty years after 451 00:22:33,000 --> 00:22:35,639 Speaker 3: it first aver actually started investing in Europe as a sphere. 452 00:22:35,880 --> 00:22:38,360 Speaker 3: Ivp's Alex Lim joins us now to discuss what has 453 00:22:38,400 --> 00:22:41,880 Speaker 3: been well.

As 463 00:23:10,000 --> 00:23:13,359 Speaker 11: it pertains to opening an office here in London, we 464 00:23:13,400 --> 00:23:15,800 Speaker 11: want to be really close to the founders that we back. 465 00:23:16,040 --> 00:23:18,360 Speaker 11: We often serve on the boards of the companies we 466 00:23:18,760 --> 00:23:22,520 Speaker 11: invest in, and so having that close relationship where we're 467 00:23:22,560 --> 00:23:25,160 Speaker 11: just a time zone or a short flight away from 468 00:23:25,200 --> 00:23:28,520 Speaker 11: the founders we work with is really important to our strategy. 469 00:23:30,000 --> 00:23:33,520 Speaker 3: I think also what's happening the sense of being close 470 00:23:33,680 --> 00:23:36,120 Speaker 3: we're now though, are we ever hitting a tipping point 471 00:23:36,119 --> 00:23:38,040 Speaker 3: where you think of some of the companies you're already 472 00:23:38,040 --> 00:23:41,560 Speaker 3: backed that have shown exits, that have had liquidity events, 473 00:23:41,560 --> 00:23:45,119 Speaker 3: that have therefore probably see people leave the companies and 474 00:23:45,160 --> 00:23:47,760 Speaker 3: start building their own. Are you seeing that flywheel of 475 00:23:47,800 --> 00:23:50,760 Speaker 3: like UiPath, but now you've decided to go build your 476 00:23:50,800 --> 00:23:51,560 Speaker 3: own new startup? 477 00:23:51,840 --> 00:23:52,480 Speaker 4: Absolutely. 478 00:23:53,160 --> 00:23:55,920 Speaker 11: UiPath is spinning out a couple of great companies right now, 479 00:23:55,920 --> 00:23:58,800 Speaker 11: which we're actively tracking, and I think there'll be more 480 00:23:58,800 --> 00:24:02,040 Speaker 11: and more entrepreneurs technical people that come out of these 481 00:24:02,040 --> 00:24:06,879 Speaker 11: companies and decide that entrepreneurship is their next career career path. 482 00:24:07,400 --> 00:24:11,520 Speaker 11: We travel all over Europe. We've actually been since opening 483 00:24:11,520 --> 00:24:15,040 Speaker 11: the office in August in eight different cities, so we're 484 00:24:15,119 --> 00:24:19,560 Speaker 11: trying to find these entrepreneurs wherever they are, and they 485 00:24:19,640 --> 00:24:22,240 Speaker 11: do come out of different places, not just the major 486 00:24:22,280 --> 00:24:25,240 Speaker 11: tech hubs like Berlin, Paris and London. 487 00:24:25,960 --> 00:24:29,320 Speaker 3: What's interesting is today, of all days, you're seeing one 488 00:24:29,440 --> 00:24:34,640 Speaker 3: key fintech player listed in France. Worldline absolutely pummeled, largely 489 00:24:34,800 --> 00:24:37,880 Speaker 3: the idiosyncratic some of it, but also an economic perspective 490 00:24:37,920 --> 00:24:40,480 Speaker 3: that Germany is about to hit recession. It's an interesting 491 00:24:40,520 --> 00:24:42,560 Speaker 3: time to be wanting to plowing into Europe at the moment. 492 00:24:42,640 --> 00:24:45,280 Speaker 3: How has that economic macro backdrop affected some of the 493 00:24:45,280 --> 00:24:46,440 Speaker 3: companies to support. 494 00:24:46,720 --> 00:24:49,240 Speaker 11: We think a lot about the technology ecosystem and the 495 00:24:49,280 --> 00:24:52,119 Speaker 11: markets that we serve, and so you can think of 496 00:24:52,160 --> 00:24:54,560 Speaker 11: back to twenty twenty two, there was a reset in 497 00:24:54,600 --> 00:24:58,639 Speaker 11: the equity markets for public technology stocks that has affected 498 00:24:59,200 --> 00:25:02,080 Speaker 11: technology all across our region. 499 00:25:02,200 --> 00:25:03,520 Speaker 4: In Europe. 500 00:25:03,800 --> 00:25:07,720 Speaker 11: There is more and more realization that we might be 501 00:25:07,880 --> 00:25:11,560 Speaker 11: entering a recessionary environment, so our entrepreneurs are starting to 502 00:25:11,600 --> 00:25:12,960 Speaker 11: prepare for that. 503 00:25:12,960 --> 00:25:14,119 Speaker 4: That said, a lot. 504 00:25:14,000 --> 00:25:17,640 Speaker 11: Of our companies actually do well in recessionary environments. They 505 00:25:17,680 --> 00:25:24,840 Speaker 11: are increasing productivity for businesses or providing valuable services to consumers, 506 00:25:25,160 --> 00:25:28,119 Speaker 11: so that we do think there are some counter cyclical 507 00:25:28,880 --> 00:25:30,320 Speaker 11: companies within our portfolio. 508 00:25:31,480 --> 00:25:32,800 Speaker 4: Alex is, good to see you. 509 00:25:32,800 --> 00:25:35,199 Speaker 5: Your business partner, Eric was on the show with us 510 00:25:35,240 --> 00:25:37,800 Speaker 5: in August when you announced you'd open a London office. 511 00:25:38,080 --> 00:25:40,080 Speaker 5: The next day, he jumped on a plane and moved 512 00:25:40,119 --> 00:25:42,560 Speaker 5: his life to London. And I guess I want to 513 00:25:42,600 --> 00:25:44,359 Speaker 5: know what you've been up to since you know. What 514 00:25:45,000 --> 00:25:48,040 Speaker 5: is it like in London? Are there hackathons and mixers 515 00:25:48,119 --> 00:25:50,840 Speaker 5: and drinks and you're making friends with all of the 516 00:25:50,880 --> 00:25:53,960 Speaker 5: people you've been working with long distance on rounds. 517 00:25:53,640 --> 00:25:58,840 Speaker 11: With Yeah, we're definitely getting out into the ecosystem. An 518 00:25:58,880 --> 00:26:02,440 Speaker 11: important part of our business is to get out into 519 00:26:02,480 --> 00:26:05,760 Speaker 11: the regions that we serve and meet the great founders, 520 00:26:05,880 --> 00:26:11,320 Speaker 11: the great entrepreneurs, and then also venture backers. Each of 521 00:26:11,359 --> 00:26:15,719 Speaker 11: these cities around Europe have local seed investors that we 522 00:26:15,840 --> 00:26:19,800 Speaker 11: love to partner with because usually we're coming in as 523 00:26:19,800 --> 00:26:23,480 Speaker 11: a second or third round of investment, so we're out 524 00:26:23,480 --> 00:26:26,240 Speaker 11: there on planes making sure that we're face to face 525 00:26:26,280 --> 00:26:30,400 Speaker 11: with those people, and it's definitely a huge priority for us. 526 00:26:30,720 --> 00:26:35,639 Speaker 11: We're also have a large portfolio within Europe already, so 527 00:26:35,680 --> 00:26:38,800 Speaker 11: we're traveling to these cities to go to board meetings. 528 00:26:39,400 --> 00:26:42,440 Speaker 11: You're going to Paris to see pigment, or to Germany 529 00:26:42,520 --> 00:26:45,600 Speaker 11: to see deep l There's a lot of different reasons 530 00:26:45,640 --> 00:26:47,760 Speaker 11: why we get out into the region, and I think 531 00:26:47,800 --> 00:26:49,080 Speaker 11: that's a real positive for us. 532 00:26:50,280 --> 00:26:53,560 Speaker 5: Alex Is there the variety of technology in Europe that 533 00:26:53,640 --> 00:26:56,200 Speaker 5: we have here in the Silicon Valley in the Bay Area, 534 00:26:56,240 --> 00:27:00,200 Speaker 5: across software, hardware, everything that's happening in AI, you have 535 00:27:00,320 --> 00:27:03,080 Speaker 5: the same things to pick from. 536 00:27:03,200 --> 00:27:06,880 Speaker 11: Yeah, there's a huge variety, and it's funny that in 537 00:27:06,880 --> 00:27:11,920 Speaker 11: individual cities there are different areas of expertise. Obviously London 538 00:27:12,200 --> 00:27:16,720 Speaker 11: with the strong backing of financial services and great talent 539 00:27:16,800 --> 00:27:18,720 Speaker 11: you have in that area. We back a lot of 540 00:27:18,760 --> 00:27:22,359 Speaker 11: fintech companies here. So an example would be a Vault, 541 00:27:22,440 --> 00:27:25,760 Speaker 11: which we backed earlier this year. They're a financial technology 542 00:27:25,800 --> 00:27:30,159 Speaker 11: company working on account to account payments or see on, 543 00:27:30,480 --> 00:27:33,439 Speaker 11: which is in the fraud verification space. But then you 544 00:27:33,480 --> 00:27:36,160 Speaker 11: travel other places and you see different pockets of talent. 545 00:27:36,560 --> 00:27:39,600 Speaker 11: One area that I'm really excited about right now is 546 00:27:39,720 --> 00:27:44,119 Speaker 11: Paris and France. They have such strong AI talent and 547 00:27:44,160 --> 00:27:46,439 Speaker 11: so we're seeing more and more companies come out of 548 00:27:46,480 --> 00:27:48,720 Speaker 11: that ecosystem that we're trying to back. 549 00:27:49,000 --> 00:27:54,199 Speaker 3: Great universities both UK, France and Europe. More broadly, alex 550 00:27:54,200 --> 00:27:56,560 Speaker 3: though you put a very sort of positive spin on it. 551 00:27:56,640 --> 00:27:59,240 Speaker 3: A macro environment that's challenging, but founders that are able 552 00:27:59,240 --> 00:28:02,160 Speaker 3: to be sort of counters already preparing. But we hear 553 00:28:02,240 --> 00:28:04,520 Speaker 3: more and more that there are a load of unicorns 554 00:28:04,560 --> 00:28:06,560 Speaker 3: or a load of high valuations that are going to 555 00:28:06,600 --> 00:28:10,040 Speaker 3: have to recalibrate. When is that reckoning going to happen? 556 00:28:10,080 --> 00:28:12,120 Speaker 3: It feels like keeps being pushed off and pushed off, 557 00:28:12,119 --> 00:28:15,240 Speaker 3: and special financing deals done in murkier corners. 558 00:28:15,920 --> 00:28:19,720 Speaker 11: One thing we track very closely is the IPO market. 559 00:28:19,960 --> 00:28:22,680 Speaker 11: That's a key barometer for the health of our business. 560 00:28:23,320 --> 00:28:26,159 Speaker 11: IVP has had over one hundred and thirty companies go 561 00:28:26,320 --> 00:28:30,639 Speaker 11: public over its history, but twenty twenty two and twenty 562 00:28:30,680 --> 00:28:34,040 Speaker 11: twenty three there have been less of those offerings. You 563 00:28:34,080 --> 00:28:38,480 Speaker 11: saw the recent offerings in Clavio, Instacart, and arm extremely 564 00:28:38,560 --> 00:28:40,520 Speaker 11: high quality companies going public. 565 00:28:40,920 --> 00:28:41,800 Speaker 4: And actually that's. 566 00:28:41,640 --> 00:28:45,000 Speaker 11: Giving some confidence to the portfolio companies that we have, 567 00:28:45,440 --> 00:28:47,880 Speaker 11: and three or four of those companies are already starting 568 00:28:47,920 --> 00:28:51,000 Speaker 11: to prepare their documents to go public in twenty twenty four. 569 00:28:51,440 --> 00:28:55,080 Speaker 11: So I think you could see more companies going flipping 570 00:28:55,160 --> 00:28:57,960 Speaker 11: from private to public, and that'd be a great thing 571 00:28:58,000 --> 00:28:59,040 Speaker 11: for venture overall. 572 00:28:59,560 --> 00:29:03,280 Speaker 3: Arm men public in America, That's true the frustration of 573 00:29:03,280 --> 00:29:07,040 Speaker 3: the London soop exchange. Will companies that you're backing, Pigment 574 00:29:07,080 --> 00:29:09,760 Speaker 3: in France and like choose to go in public in 575 00:29:09,800 --> 00:29:12,160 Speaker 3: their own European markets or will they always be attracted 576 00:29:12,160 --> 00:29:13,080 Speaker 3: to American liquidity. 577 00:29:14,320 --> 00:29:16,440 Speaker 11: If a company is going public right now, I think 578 00:29:16,440 --> 00:29:17,960 Speaker 11: the Nasdaq on a nice is. 579 00:29:17,960 --> 00:29:19,440 Speaker 4: The right place to go public. 580 00:29:19,480 --> 00:29:19,920 Speaker 7: They should. 581 00:29:20,040 --> 00:29:22,959 Speaker 11: The markets are deeper there, there's a more a deeper 582 00:29:23,040 --> 00:29:27,520 Speaker 11: understanding of technology and the value that technology can bring. However, 583 00:29:27,640 --> 00:29:29,440 Speaker 11: we are hopeful and we want to be part of 584 00:29:29,440 --> 00:29:32,560 Speaker 11: this change here in London. That know, more and more 585 00:29:32,560 --> 00:29:35,440 Speaker 11: companies will go public here in London and around Europe. 586 00:29:35,640 --> 00:29:38,240 Speaker 11: It's great for the ecosystem if you can keep the 587 00:29:38,320 --> 00:29:40,800 Speaker 11: listings here. We'd love to see reforms that help that 588 00:29:41,080 --> 00:29:42,080 Speaker 11: few more deliveries. 589 00:29:42,120 --> 00:29:44,800 Speaker 3: Like I was chatting with Willshoe yesterday, Alex Lam so 590 00:29:44,880 --> 00:29:47,640 Speaker 3: great to have some time with you of ivp femail 591 00:29:47,920 --> 00:29:50,280 Speaker 3: and we've got some interesting conversation coming from you. 592 00:29:51,200 --> 00:29:54,840 Speaker 5: Yeah, let's go from London, Planet Earth to Space. United 593 00:29:54,920 --> 00:29:58,680 Speaker 5: Launch Alliance is on track. I'm told to launch Vulcan 594 00:29:58,720 --> 00:30:02,080 Speaker 5: in December. It's high energy rocket that it hopes can 595 00:30:02,080 --> 00:30:06,479 Speaker 5: compete with Falcon Heavy SpaceX's heavy launch system. Tory Bruno, 596 00:30:06,520 --> 00:30:09,360 Speaker 5: who's the Ulaco, visited us in New York and we 597 00:30:09,440 --> 00:30:13,280 Speaker 5: talked about how reliant Ula has been on Jeff Bezos 598 00:30:13,320 --> 00:30:14,360 Speaker 5: and Blue Origin have a listen. 599 00:30:15,320 --> 00:30:17,560 Speaker 13: Well, it took a little bit longer to develop this 600 00:30:17,720 --> 00:30:21,760 Speaker 13: rocket engine. It is the largest engine of that fuel 601 00:30:21,840 --> 00:30:25,280 Speaker 13: type to be successfully put together, and that just took 602 00:30:25,320 --> 00:30:27,920 Speaker 13: a little while longer. Now that the engine is developed 603 00:30:27,920 --> 00:30:32,240 Speaker 13: and qualified, we love it. Great performance. It's going to 604 00:30:32,240 --> 00:30:35,160 Speaker 13: be an awesome workhorse for us in terms of the 605 00:30:35,280 --> 00:30:39,520 Speaker 13: Ukraine situation, we weren't really affected that would have affected 606 00:30:39,560 --> 00:30:43,040 Speaker 13: the retiring Atlas five with its RD one to eighty 607 00:30:43,160 --> 00:30:46,760 Speaker 13: rocket engine. But I had anticipated ahead of time not 608 00:30:47,000 --> 00:30:50,720 Speaker 13: that Ukraine would be invaded, but that the relationship with 609 00:30:50,840 --> 00:30:52,600 Speaker 13: Russia was on a downward trend. 610 00:30:53,000 --> 00:30:53,800 Speaker 4: And once our. 611 00:30:53,680 --> 00:30:58,040 Speaker 13: Future was clear, I ordered ahead and received all of 612 00:30:58,080 --> 00:31:00,160 Speaker 13: the RD one eighties I would ever need to fly 613 00:31:00,280 --> 00:31:02,760 Speaker 13: out atlyss Now I have them in a warehouse in 614 00:31:02,800 --> 00:31:06,320 Speaker 13: Alabama and have just been flying them as I need them. 615 00:31:07,520 --> 00:31:11,240 Speaker 5: Blue Origin is itself also going under some change, some 616 00:31:11,360 --> 00:31:14,640 Speaker 5: transitions and new leadership, but the kind of constant is 617 00:31:14,720 --> 00:31:18,360 Speaker 5: Jeff Bezos, and I wondered what your relationship with Jeff is. 618 00:31:18,400 --> 00:31:23,400 Speaker 13: Like, Oh, very constructive. You know, it's a teeming arrangement. 619 00:31:23,480 --> 00:31:27,960 Speaker 13: You know, your major suppliers are always really your strategic partners, 620 00:31:28,360 --> 00:31:32,360 Speaker 13: and that's especially true for us because our big suppliers 621 00:31:32,440 --> 00:31:36,600 Speaker 13: invest in our rocket and in their product along with us. 622 00:31:36,960 --> 00:31:38,000 Speaker 13: Jeff is no different. 623 00:31:38,080 --> 00:31:39,920 Speaker 4: I was speaking to him just a. 624 00:31:39,840 --> 00:31:42,880 Speaker 13: Few days ago as we were working together to help 625 00:31:42,960 --> 00:31:46,120 Speaker 13: them ramp up their production rate for our eventual needs, 626 00:31:46,680 --> 00:31:48,920 Speaker 13: and like I said, we love the engine and I 627 00:31:48,920 --> 00:31:50,560 Speaker 13: think we're going to have a bright future together. 628 00:31:51,840 --> 00:31:54,600 Speaker 4: That's interesting. Do you find Jeff to kind of be 629 00:31:54,720 --> 00:31:55,160 Speaker 4: hands on? 630 00:31:55,360 --> 00:31:57,360 Speaker 5: Is he somebody that you can phone and sort of 631 00:31:57,400 --> 00:32:01,480 Speaker 5: talk at a high level engine nearing basis with or 632 00:32:01,560 --> 00:32:04,160 Speaker 5: is he kind of more strategic in how he deals. 633 00:32:03,960 --> 00:32:04,520 Speaker 4: With you guys? 634 00:32:04,960 --> 00:32:08,960 Speaker 13: Well, I think he is a very strategic person obviously, 635 00:32:09,600 --> 00:32:12,040 Speaker 13: but I will tell you he's a very good engineer 636 00:32:12,440 --> 00:32:15,520 Speaker 13: and he is not afraid to dive down into the details. 637 00:32:16,240 --> 00:32:18,800 Speaker 13: You know, you might find it amusing that, you know, 638 00:32:18,840 --> 00:32:21,960 Speaker 13: we nerds get together and we love to talk about 639 00:32:22,400 --> 00:32:27,880 Speaker 13: propulsion technology, and I find Jeff very easy to discuss 640 00:32:27,920 --> 00:32:31,480 Speaker 13: those issues with. He's fast, he picks them up, and he's. 641 00:32:31,360 --> 00:32:32,040 Speaker 4: A good teammate. 642 00:32:32,080 --> 00:32:34,320 Speaker 13: He'll work with you to, you know, get through the 643 00:32:34,480 --> 00:32:39,320 Speaker 13: technical challenges of doing this sort of innovative in new work. 644 00:32:42,080 --> 00:32:45,840 Speaker 5: Talking rocket so self described nerd Tory Bruno U la Ceo, 645 00:32:45,960 --> 00:32:48,720 Speaker 5: Caroline ed you are. 646 00:32:48,640 --> 00:32:50,880 Speaker 3: A self described nerd, and I'm pretty sure that they 647 00:32:51,080 --> 00:32:53,680 Speaker 3: welcome you with open arms in those conversations.

We're off by one point eight percent 652 00:33:02,360 --> 00:33:04,040 Speaker 3: on big tech at the moment. You know why, it's 653 00:33:04,080 --> 00:33:06,120 Speaker 3: all about an earnings concern that we're not quite living 654 00:33:06,200 --> 00:33:08,080 Speaker 3: up to the hype when it comes to Alphabet for example. 655 00:33:08,320 --> 00:33:10,479 Speaker 3: Maybe that's dragging down the index more broadly five year 656 00:33:10,520 --> 00:33:12,560 Speaker 3: yield as well, probably putting paid to some of the 657 00:33:12,640 --> 00:33:14,840 Speaker 3: risk exuberance as the yields back up on the long end. 658 00:33:15,240 --> 00:33:17,000 Speaker 3: Interesting in chips, We're going to be having a deep 659 00:33:17,040 --> 00:33:18,560 Speaker 3: dive on chips that you're going to talk us through 660 00:33:18,680 --> 00:33:20,720 Speaker 3: in a minute, ED. Or by three percent on the 661 00:33:20,800 --> 00:33:23,680 Speaker 3: socks as we see TI Texas instruments not living up 662 00:33:23,680 --> 00:33:25,400 Speaker 3: to expectations on earnings. Move on to some of the 663 00:33:25,400 --> 00:33:29,080 Speaker 3: individual movers because interesting takes Microsoft course does do well 664 00:33:29,120 --> 00:33:31,760 Speaker 3: on its earnings and Microsoft outperforms, but I've also been 665 00:33:31,800 --> 00:33:34,800 Speaker 3: looking what's the world a PayPal? And overall look at 666 00:33:34,800 --> 00:33:37,840 Speaker 3: what happened to this European fintech player. Worldline off by 667 00:33:37,920 --> 00:33:40,600 Speaker 3: fifty nine percent as they call out a recession over 668 00:33:40,640 --> 00:33:41,080 Speaker 3: in Germany. 669 00:33:41,200 --> 00:33:41,280 Speaker 2: ED. 670 00:33:42,560 --> 00:33:44,280 Speaker 5: Yeah, we are going to be talking chips coming up 671 00:33:44,320 --> 00:33:45,880 Speaker 5: on the show.

Can you give us any insight. 714 00:36:09,040 --> 00:36:11,759 Speaker 7: That absolutely so. 715 00:36:11,840 --> 00:36:14,600 Speaker 2: What is interesting about what we've done with this processor 716 00:36:14,680 --> 00:36:18,600 Speaker 2: not only has the fastest CPU for your everyday tasks 717 00:36:18,640 --> 00:36:21,560 Speaker 2: and gaming and all of those things, but it has 718 00:36:21,600 --> 00:36:25,480 Speaker 2: a separate engine and that is a unique differentiation from pocom. 719 00:36:26,320 --> 00:36:27,960 Speaker 7: It's called the NPU. 720 00:36:28,200 --> 00:36:32,560 Speaker 2: And it's about allowing your AI to run pervasively and 721 00:36:32,840 --> 00:36:34,480 Speaker 2: always running on the device. 722 00:36:34,520 --> 00:36:37,680 Speaker 7: So the copilot will be always running on the device. 723 00:36:37,560 --> 00:36:41,319 Speaker 2: To assist you with every task. And the NPU is 724 00:36:41,360 --> 00:36:44,160 Speaker 2: the biggest that you can performance you can find in 725 00:36:44,200 --> 00:36:47,880 Speaker 2: the device. Just as an example, we can run large 726 00:36:48,080 --> 00:36:52,200 Speaker 2: models of thirteen billion parameters natively on the device, and 727 00:36:52,239 --> 00:36:55,239 Speaker 2: we show that we have been partnered with all the 728 00:36:55,560 --> 00:36:59,680 Speaker 2: major ecosystem investing on AI from Microsoft to Meta to 729 00:36:59,719 --> 00:37:02,360 Speaker 2: Google Go and many other companies and having all of 730 00:37:02,400 --> 00:37:04,960 Speaker 2: those models running natively on the device. 731 00:37:07,160 --> 00:37:11,960 Speaker 3: It's a fascinating moment in terms of competition. Cristiano as well, 732 00:37:12,000 --> 00:37:14,040 Speaker 3: it has been a couple of days ago reports in 733 00:37:14,160 --> 00:37:16,680 Speaker 3: Video is going to be challenging the space as well 734 00:37:16,680 --> 00:37:19,239 Speaker 3: with its own ARM based processes for PCs. You've got 735 00:37:19,280 --> 00:37:23,120 Speaker 3: Apple of course showing its prowess in the area. How 736 00:37:23,160 --> 00:37:25,279 Speaker 3: do you set yourself apart from what is going to 737 00:37:25,280 --> 00:37:29,280 Speaker 3: be a real rushed and PC area. 738 00:37:29,360 --> 00:37:32,840 Speaker 2: I actually think the announcements to happen, especially the Vida announcement, 739 00:37:32,960 --> 00:37:35,280 Speaker 2: is one of the best things that could have happened. 740 00:37:35,040 --> 00:37:36,200 Speaker 7: For our efforts in the PC. 741 00:37:36,400 --> 00:37:38,960 Speaker 2: We have been talking for a while since we embark 742 00:37:39,000 --> 00:37:43,000 Speaker 2: on this journey with Microsoft that the PC market is 743 00:37:43,080 --> 00:37:46,600 Speaker 2: moving to an ARMED compatible away from the x eighty 744 00:37:46,640 --> 00:37:49,240 Speaker 2: six into an ARM compatible instruction set. 745 00:37:49,400 --> 00:37:50,839 Speaker 7: The Nvidia announcement is. 746 00:37:50,840 --> 00:37:54,319 Speaker 2: Devalidation that that is the new market and that is 747 00:37:54,360 --> 00:37:57,120 Speaker 2: the new tam for welcoming. It comes at a perfect 748 00:37:57,160 --> 00:38:00,520 Speaker 2: time that we have been diversifying the company in looking 749 00:38:00,560 --> 00:38:04,920 Speaker 2: for new opportunities and in market for technology, and we 750 00:38:05,080 --> 00:38:09,280 Speaker 2: had started on this journey for at least the past 751 00:38:09,320 --> 00:38:11,440 Speaker 2: three to four years I think twenty four. 752 00:38:11,680 --> 00:38:14,560 Speaker 7: With the new Windows and I Windows AI that comes 753 00:38:14,560 --> 00:38:15,120 Speaker 7: to fruition. 754 00:38:15,239 --> 00:38:18,080 Speaker 2: It starts to be at the end of the twenty 755 00:38:18,160 --> 00:38:20,600 Speaker 2: twenty four material for Qualcom. 756 00:38:20,719 --> 00:38:22,400 Speaker 7: So we're really excited about that. 757 00:38:22,520 --> 00:38:25,600 Speaker 2: And we look at all those announcements and endorsement that 758 00:38:25,680 --> 00:38:28,120 Speaker 2: this whole p SEE ecosystem is moving to one and 759 00:38:28,200 --> 00:38:30,719 Speaker 2: we just developed the fastest ARMSCPU in the work. 760 00:38:32,640 --> 00:38:35,560 Speaker 3: We've got well announcement potentially as soon as next week 761 00:38:35,600 --> 00:38:39,000 Speaker 3: with Apple and three. When you've got a competitive but 762 00:38:39,040 --> 00:38:41,799 Speaker 3: a validated space, as you seem to be articulating, what 763 00:38:41,920 --> 00:38:44,880 Speaker 3: volumes do you anticipate in one for example. 764 00:38:45,160 --> 00:38:47,359 Speaker 7: Well, we're not making projections. 765 00:38:47,400 --> 00:38:49,839 Speaker 2: I think we have been very careful, especially because we 766 00:38:49,920 --> 00:38:51,759 Speaker 2: have this is a new market for us, so we 767 00:38:52,000 --> 00:38:54,800 Speaker 2: think of us as a new entrant, and if you 768 00:38:54,880 --> 00:38:58,319 Speaker 2: look at of the size of this market, I think 769 00:38:58,719 --> 00:39:01,560 Speaker 2: even if we get, you know, a smaller share, it's 770 00:39:01,560 --> 00:39:04,800 Speaker 2: a significant growth opportunity for Quodcam. 771 00:39:05,200 --> 00:39:07,360 Speaker 7: And we're excited about what we have developed. 772 00:39:07,400 --> 00:39:09,919 Speaker 2: The parts competitive and one thing we haven't mentioned about 773 00:39:09,920 --> 00:39:14,080 Speaker 2: it besides the performance, the power, which is our DNA 774 00:39:14,400 --> 00:39:17,239 Speaker 2: of making very power efficient devices for better in life 775 00:39:17,320 --> 00:39:21,400 Speaker 2: is incredible. We exceeded the performance of the fastest CPU 776 00:39:21,560 --> 00:39:23,719 Speaker 2: you can get from Intel for gaming, but we do 777 00:39:23,800 --> 00:39:26,920 Speaker 2: add a seventy percent less power as an example. 778 00:39:28,239 --> 00:39:31,439 Speaker 5: For our Bloomberg television and radio audiences worldwide. We're joined 779 00:39:31,440 --> 00:39:35,600 Speaker 5: by Quowcom CEO Christiano Amon from the snap Dragon conference 780 00:39:35,680 --> 00:39:38,919 Speaker 5: in Maui. You just mentioned power. The claim is that 781 00:39:39,400 --> 00:39:43,200 Speaker 5: it's about sixty eight percent less power than the comparable 782 00:39:43,280 --> 00:39:48,120 Speaker 5: Intel processor. A really fair question is the price premium 783 00:39:48,160 --> 00:39:51,160 Speaker 5: though that your latest chip has a lot of questions 784 00:39:51,200 --> 00:39:55,239 Speaker 5: from global end market users, was like, well, how much 785 00:39:55,280 --> 00:39:57,160 Speaker 5: am I going to have to pay over the nose 786 00:39:57,520 --> 00:40:01,520 Speaker 5: to have access to a consumer electronic device that carries 787 00:40:01,560 --> 00:40:05,200 Speaker 5: Snapdragon X relative to mid and lowers his smartphone or PC. 788 00:40:06,680 --> 00:40:09,120 Speaker 2: I'm going to answer that question two weeks. The first 789 00:40:09,160 --> 00:40:11,840 Speaker 2: one is we're going to enable with this product for 790 00:40:11,880 --> 00:40:16,360 Speaker 2: you to have a thin and light laptop that you 791 00:40:16,400 --> 00:40:19,239 Speaker 2: can have the performance that you would find otherwise on 792 00:40:19,280 --> 00:40:22,680 Speaker 2: a high end gaming device. So I think, if anything, 793 00:40:22,719 --> 00:40:26,560 Speaker 2: we're going to be democratizing technology and make that an 794 00:40:26,719 --> 00:40:30,160 Speaker 2: AI running on device available for more people. And that's 795 00:40:30,200 --> 00:40:33,120 Speaker 2: easy to understand giver mobile heritage. The other part of 796 00:40:33,160 --> 00:40:36,239 Speaker 2: that is actually we look at the Snapdragon Elite x 797 00:40:36,400 --> 00:40:41,560 Speaker 2: actally as a premium Snapdragon solution which improves dramatically or 798 00:40:41,680 --> 00:40:45,000 Speaker 2: mixed and it has great financial contribution as we look 799 00:40:45,080 --> 00:40:47,040 Speaker 2: at the margin of those products. 800 00:40:47,080 --> 00:40:48,880 Speaker 7: So I think it's a win win for both sides. 801 00:40:51,000 --> 00:40:53,680 Speaker 5: One thing that you guys do really well is look 802 00:40:53,719 --> 00:40:56,680 Speaker 5: at snap Dragon and this kind of fan base you have. 803 00:40:57,200 --> 00:40:59,240 Speaker 5: You know, everyone is raved about the h one hundred 804 00:40:59,280 --> 00:41:02,040 Speaker 5: GPU from all year, but I've noticed this kind of 805 00:41:02,719 --> 00:41:08,000 Speaker 5: deep reddit, forum, discussion, discord channels dedicated to snap Dragon. 806 00:41:08,320 --> 00:41:10,640 Speaker 5: How much do you take into account the feedback from 807 00:41:10,680 --> 00:41:13,520 Speaker 5: those community and your development of the products and what 808 00:41:13,560 --> 00:41:15,960 Speaker 5: it can actually do a lot. 809 00:41:16,120 --> 00:41:19,400 Speaker 2: I think one of the things we do well is 810 00:41:19,719 --> 00:41:21,799 Speaker 2: we have been nurching this community by the way that 811 00:41:21,880 --> 00:41:24,359 Speaker 2: both of you should be a Snapdragon insiders, you may 812 00:41:24,360 --> 00:41:27,440 Speaker 2: be missing out, and we've been nurching this community. 813 00:41:27,560 --> 00:41:32,600 Speaker 7: It's growing very fast, is over fourteen million, and those are. 814 00:41:32,600 --> 00:41:37,480 Speaker 2: Tech enthusiasts and they really love the technology, your advanced users, 815 00:41:37,640 --> 00:41:39,520 Speaker 2: and they give us a lot of insights and we 816 00:41:39,640 --> 00:41:40,920 Speaker 2: really like that relationship. 817 00:41:43,440 --> 00:41:46,240 Speaker 3: Oh ultimately, I mean I remember when we were first 818 00:41:46,280 --> 00:41:48,160 Speaker 3: coming and sitting down with you a couple of years ago, 819 00:41:48,200 --> 00:41:50,839 Speaker 3: it was all about supply chain issues when it came 820 00:41:50,880 --> 00:41:53,080 Speaker 3: to chips and how you navigated that. Is there any 821 00:41:53,120 --> 00:41:55,400 Speaker 3: sort of concern when you're thinking about unleashing these new, 822 00:41:55,440 --> 00:41:58,479 Speaker 3: more powerful PC processes now. 823 00:41:58,520 --> 00:42:01,400 Speaker 2: The supply chain I think crisis we had in some 824 00:42:01,440 --> 00:42:08,000 Speaker 2: microductor industries behind us, and we actually look into the 825 00:42:08,040 --> 00:42:12,840 Speaker 2: future as the most exciting thing now is how AI 826 00:42:13,200 --> 00:42:16,799 Speaker 2: is developing on device outside the data center, and it's 827 00:42:16,840 --> 00:42:19,920 Speaker 2: going to touch phones, going to touch PCs, is going 828 00:42:19,960 --> 00:42:22,920 Speaker 2: to touch cars, and we're looking maybe we have an 829 00:42:22,920 --> 00:42:25,359 Speaker 2: opportunity to create a whole new cycle and the. 830 00:42:25,360 --> 00:42:28,920 Speaker 7: Phone business and generate growth in the phone business as 831 00:42:28,960 --> 00:42:29,760 Speaker 7: well with AI. 832 00:42:32,719 --> 00:42:38,120 Speaker 5: Cristiano, I want to be sort of reflective for a minute. 833 00:42:38,200 --> 00:42:41,200 Speaker 5: You and many of your peers have tried to bring 834 00:42:41,400 --> 00:42:45,800 Speaker 5: on based CPUs to PCs for a decade. And fundamentally, 835 00:42:46,440 --> 00:42:49,920 Speaker 5: the personal computer has not changed for a decade. The 836 00:42:50,000 --> 00:42:53,719 Speaker 5: ecosystem around X seven eighty six, for example, Massive, It's 837 00:42:53,760 --> 00:42:56,600 Speaker 5: been tried, tested, Why now, why is this going to 838 00:42:56,600 --> 00:42:59,400 Speaker 5: be any different from what you've tried in the last 839 00:42:59,400 --> 00:42:59,920 Speaker 5: ten years? 840 00:43:00,920 --> 00:43:03,600 Speaker 2: Okay, let me let me bring you a different perspective 841 00:43:03,920 --> 00:43:07,120 Speaker 2: because there's a number of different vectors that are changing 842 00:43:07,160 --> 00:43:08,840 Speaker 2: the PC. And by the way, I you know, I 843 00:43:08,840 --> 00:43:11,200 Speaker 2: think we need to get We need to say Apple 844 00:43:11,239 --> 00:43:13,840 Speaker 2: did a very good job when they developed the M 845 00:43:14,000 --> 00:43:17,960 Speaker 2: series and creating a PC the base on a mobile 846 00:43:18,120 --> 00:43:21,880 Speaker 2: SEC architecture and uh, and that's one of the things 847 00:43:21,920 --> 00:43:23,920 Speaker 2: that we have been working to do the same and 848 00:43:23,960 --> 00:43:27,719 Speaker 2: create the best possible performance next generation PC for the 849 00:43:27,760 --> 00:43:28,680 Speaker 2: Windows ecosystem. 850 00:43:28,680 --> 00:43:29,720 Speaker 7: But the reason this is different. 851 00:43:30,200 --> 00:43:33,040 Speaker 2: First of all, I'm talking to you right now via 852 00:43:33,160 --> 00:43:36,680 Speaker 2: my PC, and PC became a communication device. 853 00:43:37,280 --> 00:43:37,680 Speaker 7: Uh. 854 00:43:38,040 --> 00:43:43,640 Speaker 2: We we took working uh with mobility to the next level. 855 00:43:43,760 --> 00:43:47,840 Speaker 2: And then the biggest piece is the fact that AI 856 00:43:48,160 --> 00:43:51,000 Speaker 2: is changing the user experience. If you think about Microsoft's 857 00:43:51,040 --> 00:43:54,400 Speaker 2: doing a co pilot, even with Microsoft said about the 858 00:43:55,160 --> 00:43:58,239 Speaker 2: price of the co pilot, which I actually think is 859 00:43:58,320 --> 00:44:01,839 Speaker 2: inexpensive if you think about the productivity increases that can 860 00:44:01,880 --> 00:44:04,080 Speaker 2: do for many enterprises. 861 00:44:04,840 --> 00:44:05,760 Speaker 7: Debt is changing. 862 00:44:05,800 --> 00:44:07,799 Speaker 2: It's going to be a different type of device and 863 00:44:07,840 --> 00:44:09,759 Speaker 2: that's what we're working on, and that's going to be 864 00:44:09,800 --> 00:44:12,680 Speaker 2: a bright new feature. We're going to bring a lot 865 00:44:12,719 --> 00:44:15,520 Speaker 2: of excitement and hopefully a new upgrade cycle for. 866 00:44:15,600 --> 00:44:18,120 Speaker 4: PC's well come. 867 00:44:18,200 --> 00:44:22,719 Speaker 5: CEO Christianamon from Snapdragon in MAUI, thank you for your time. 868 00:44:23,800 --> 00:44:27,600 Speaker 4: Thank you, Caroline. 869 00:44:27,800 --> 00:44:31,319 Speaker 5: You know, he's trying to outline a world where we're 870 00:44:31,400 --> 00:44:34,000 Speaker 5: using a generative AI tool on our phone or PC, 871 00:44:34,200 --> 00:44:36,319 Speaker 5: even in airplane mode, and you and I play with 872 00:44:36,360 --> 00:44:39,920 Speaker 5: all these tools, chat gpt bard on our desktops right 873 00:44:40,000 --> 00:44:44,680 Speaker 5: and is stable Internet? It's hard to imagine though, yeah 874 00:44:44,719 --> 00:44:45,000 Speaker 5: it is. 875 00:44:45,040 --> 00:44:47,839 Speaker 3: And ultimately many have been wondering when Apple really gets 876 00:44:47,880 --> 00:44:49,839 Speaker 3: into the sphere of AI that little bit more. Much 877 00:44:49,880 --> 00:44:52,360 Speaker 3: of it has been question about, of course, the privacy angle, 878 00:44:52,360 --> 00:44:54,480 Speaker 3: the fact that you do want it within your actual device, 879 00:44:54,520 --> 00:44:56,960 Speaker 3: and how much this is also intertwined with I just 880 00:44:56,960 --> 00:44:59,880 Speaker 3: think about sitting down the arm CEO around the IPO 881 00:45:00,000 --> 00:45:03,120 Speaker 3: they're listing and was all about moving into the world 882 00:45:03,120 --> 00:45:05,279 Speaker 3: of PCs, the fact that they are diversifying it's not 883 00:45:05,280 --> 00:45:06,400 Speaker 3: just about smartphone anymore. 884 00:45:06,520 --> 00:45:06,560 Speaker 13: Ed. 885 00:45:07,360 --> 00:45:09,400 Speaker 5: Yeah, and as a self described nerd, I've learned so 886 00:45:09,520 --> 00:45:12,040 Speaker 5: much this year about specific CPUs, and I know our 887 00:45:12,080 --> 00:45:14,200 Speaker 5: audience have so many questions that we got to there. 888 00:45:15,640 --> 00:45:17,840 Speaker 3: I'm glad that you were, maybe on this occasion not 889 00:45:17,840 --> 00:45:19,359 Speaker 3: going to have to do some weightlifting with them as 890 00:45:19,360 --> 00:45:21,280 Speaker 3: well as you did with the in video one. Meanwhile, 891 00:45:21,400 --> 00:45:23,520 Speaker 3: when that does it for this edition of Bloomberg Technology, 892 00:45:23,600 --> 00:45:24,640 Speaker 3: buy from London. 893 00:45:26,200 --> 00:45:29,160 Speaker 5: Check out the podcast wherever you get yours.
