WEBVTT - Google, Microsoft, Snap Report and Qualcomm Unveils New Processor

0:00:01.560 --> 0:00:02.400
<v Speaker 1>From Marhart.

0:00:02.400 --> 0:00:06.800
<v Speaker 2>We're Innovation of Money and Power Collie in Silicon Valley, NBN.

0:00:07.160 --> 0:00:11.200
<v Speaker 2>This is Bloomberg Technology with Caroline Hyde and Ed Ludlove.

0:00:25.720 --> 0:00:28.280
<v Speaker 3>I'm Caroline Hyde of Bloomberg's world headquarters in New York,

0:00:28.760 --> 0:00:30.720
<v Speaker 3>and I'm Ed Ludlow in San Francisco.

0:00:30.880 --> 0:00:34.199
<v Speaker 4>This has been their technology coming up.

0:00:34.280 --> 0:00:37.280
<v Speaker 3>Full earning's coverage ahead as we break down results from Google,

0:00:37.320 --> 0:00:39.760
<v Speaker 3>Microsoft and Snap Plus.

0:00:39.760 --> 0:00:42.639
<v Speaker 5>We'll preview what we can expect from Meta after the bell.

0:00:42.720 --> 0:00:46.440
<v Speaker 5>Today we get a little look at the Quest three headset.

0:00:47.520 --> 0:00:49.519
<v Speaker 3>And later in the hour we will have a conversation

0:00:49.600 --> 0:00:52.400
<v Speaker 3>with the CEO of Qualcom as a chip Verm unveils

0:00:52.440 --> 0:00:55.120
<v Speaker 3>a new processor to take on the likes of Apple

0:00:55.200 --> 0:00:57.800
<v Speaker 3>and Intel. But first let's check in on these markets.

0:00:57.800 --> 0:00:59.840
<v Speaker 3>And we're seeing my voice warming up as we start

0:00:59.840 --> 0:01:02.800
<v Speaker 3>the show. The Nasdaq on the downside end of the moment,

0:01:02.800 --> 0:01:05.000
<v Speaker 3>we're up by one point eight percent. This is as

0:01:05.000 --> 0:01:07.560
<v Speaker 3>we see, of course, well some numbers coming out Google

0:01:07.600 --> 0:01:09.280
<v Speaker 3>to the points. I know you'll get into the nittiqritty

0:01:09.280 --> 0:01:11.720
<v Speaker 3>of the earnings. That just sink some of that well

0:01:11.760 --> 0:01:13.520
<v Speaker 3>buoyancy that we've been seeing in some of the tech

0:01:13.600 --> 0:01:15.920
<v Speaker 3>names of late a big tech on the downside is

0:01:15.959 --> 0:01:18.160
<v Speaker 3>yield to push higher as well. This is actually your

0:01:18.160 --> 0:01:20.959
<v Speaker 3>categorical sort of bear steepening going on at the moment.

0:01:21.000 --> 0:01:23.840
<v Speaker 3>We actually see the yields that a long end of

0:01:23.840 --> 0:01:26.240
<v Speaker 3>the curve, the tens the thirties really selling off more

0:01:26.280 --> 0:01:28.160
<v Speaker 3>yields up some eight nine basis points. We've got a

0:01:28.200 --> 0:01:30.360
<v Speaker 3>big five year auction coming up. We're down at like

0:01:30.400 --> 0:01:32.319
<v Speaker 3>four point nine to one, so not off. We're still

0:01:32.319 --> 0:01:35.000
<v Speaker 3>not those highs ahead of five percent, but still we're

0:01:35.000 --> 0:01:36.440
<v Speaker 3>seeing some sell off in the bond market, and I'm

0:01:36.440 --> 0:01:39.480
<v Speaker 3>looking at Bitcoin continuing to rally. We're up three and

0:01:39.480 --> 0:01:42.319
<v Speaker 3>a half percent. But break down the individual micromoves at

0:01:42.319 --> 0:01:42.760
<v Speaker 3>the moment.

0:01:42.680 --> 0:01:44.679
<v Speaker 4>Ed, Yeah, I mean we are in it.

0:01:44.760 --> 0:01:47.120
<v Speaker 5>This is earnings, and earnings matter again, not just if

0:01:47.120 --> 0:01:48.960
<v Speaker 5>you're an investor, but you get a good lens into

0:01:49.000 --> 0:01:52.640
<v Speaker 5>the end markets, particularly in all kinds of consumer electronics

0:01:52.680 --> 0:01:55.360
<v Speaker 5>and electronics broadly. That's why I look at Texas Instruments

0:01:55.400 --> 0:01:58.520
<v Speaker 5>gave a revenue forecast which suggests that actually those end

0:01:58.560 --> 0:02:01.560
<v Speaker 5>markets are not recovering at the pace that we'd hope.

0:02:01.640 --> 0:02:04.440
<v Speaker 5>Texas Instrument makes all kinds of semiconductors that go into

0:02:04.440 --> 0:02:06.920
<v Speaker 5>all kinds of things. The big ones last night were

0:02:07.000 --> 0:02:09.440
<v Speaker 5>Microsoft and Google. It was a tale of two clouds.

0:02:09.880 --> 0:02:12.639
<v Speaker 5>Mega growth on the cloud side for Microsoft, powered by

0:02:12.800 --> 0:02:16.400
<v Speaker 5>the hype around AI, but Google Cloud miss estimates all

0:02:16.440 --> 0:02:18.760
<v Speaker 5>its other segments beat but Google Cloud missed. And we

0:02:18.800 --> 0:02:20.679
<v Speaker 5>will get into that in just a moment. And as

0:02:20.680 --> 0:02:23.840
<v Speaker 5>you said after the bell, you then have Meta and Snap.

0:02:23.919 --> 0:02:25.840
<v Speaker 5>It's interesting to look at how they trade and the

0:02:25.880 --> 0:02:30.680
<v Speaker 5>structure of this week because oftentimes Alphabet will report earnings first.

0:02:30.760 --> 0:02:33.920
<v Speaker 5>That gives us a lens into the advertising industry resilience

0:02:33.960 --> 0:02:37.480
<v Speaker 5>and stability in search and YouTube, but there is concern

0:02:37.680 --> 0:02:40.040
<v Speaker 5>in Snap and Meta, both down more than two percent.

0:02:40.639 --> 0:02:42.960
<v Speaker 5>We will also get the hardware story of Meta. How

0:02:43.000 --> 0:02:45.440
<v Speaker 5>did Quest three go down on the mixed reality side?

0:02:45.520 --> 0:02:48.600
<v Speaker 5>How much is it committed to spending on its metaverse

0:02:48.680 --> 0:02:52.160
<v Speaker 5>vision alongside working in AI. So much going on, Let's

0:02:52.200 --> 0:02:54.680
<v Speaker 5>digest it all and bring in Daniel Newman, the Future

0:02:54.680 --> 0:02:57.520
<v Speaker 5>and Group CEO, And I think let's start on those

0:02:57.880 --> 0:03:00.320
<v Speaker 5>kind of cloud names, the taiale of two cloud And

0:03:00.400 --> 0:03:04.080
<v Speaker 5>I ask a simple question, why can Microsoft Azual grow

0:03:04.120 --> 0:03:08.520
<v Speaker 5>and Corporate Cloud grow but Google Cloud platform not grow

0:03:08.520 --> 0:03:10.240
<v Speaker 5>in the same way.

0:03:11.160 --> 0:03:12.800
<v Speaker 6>Well, I think It's a bit of a tale of

0:03:12.880 --> 0:03:16.080
<v Speaker 6>good and great. Right now, the market wants great. We

0:03:16.160 --> 0:03:20.560
<v Speaker 6>know the macroeconomic environment is complicated, with interest rates still

0:03:20.680 --> 0:03:23.880
<v Speaker 6>very sticky, we know that inflation is still here, and

0:03:23.919 --> 0:03:26.240
<v Speaker 6>people want blowout results if they're going.

0:03:26.080 --> 0:03:29.760
<v Speaker 7>To send those buy signals. I'm not as bearish on Google.

0:03:29.800 --> 0:03:32.280
<v Speaker 6>I've looked at the technology, I've seen the adoption, I've

0:03:32.280 --> 0:03:35.520
<v Speaker 6>talked to its customers, and twenty two percent growth isn't terrible.

0:03:35.960 --> 0:03:38.920
<v Speaker 6>The company missed by twenty million dollars. Having said that,

0:03:39.000 --> 0:03:42.080
<v Speaker 6>Microsoft returned to a faster pace of growth, and it

0:03:42.120 --> 0:03:44.960
<v Speaker 6>wasn't just the faster pace of growth of Azure. And

0:03:45.600 --> 0:03:48.600
<v Speaker 6>what I think it really was was the company's ability

0:03:48.640 --> 0:03:52.200
<v Speaker 6>to explain how AI is driving revenue, how much Azure

0:03:52.640 --> 0:03:56.240
<v Speaker 6>was being driven three percent versus two percent the.

0:03:56.240 --> 0:03:57.320
<v Speaker 7>Thirty dollars ahead.

0:03:57.320 --> 0:04:01.280
<v Speaker 6>The company's done a magnificent job of explaining its AI

0:04:01.320 --> 0:04:04.120
<v Speaker 6>strategy and how AI is going to drive top line revenue.

0:04:04.360 --> 0:04:06.960
<v Speaker 6>I just don't think Google's story was as compelling there.

0:04:07.240 --> 0:04:10.240
<v Speaker 6>But I'm not as bearish on Google Cloud. There's so

0:04:10.360 --> 0:04:13.600
<v Speaker 6>much cloud growth to come, and our forecasts at Future

0:04:13.600 --> 0:04:16.280
<v Speaker 6>of our Intelligence forecasts say cloud is where it's going

0:04:16.320 --> 0:04:18.000
<v Speaker 6>to happen, and I still think the.

0:04:18.640 --> 0:04:20.960
<v Speaker 4>War is on a danue.

0:04:21.040 --> 0:04:23.720
<v Speaker 5>I spiked rief Parat, who is now the president, chief

0:04:23.720 --> 0:04:26.920
<v Speaker 5>investment officer, and CFO, and she gave me a very

0:04:26.920 --> 0:04:31.200
<v Speaker 5>short answer, customer, cost optimization is what accounted for that

0:04:31.279 --> 0:04:32.040
<v Speaker 5>cloud number?

0:04:34.080 --> 0:04:36.280
<v Speaker 4>What does that mean to your mind?

0:04:37.640 --> 0:04:41.520
<v Speaker 6>Well, so, right now, as I suggested, the macro is

0:04:41.600 --> 0:04:45.080
<v Speaker 6>still complicated and businesses are still sort of weighing invest

0:04:45.160 --> 0:04:48.720
<v Speaker 6>and grow, maybe go a little bit slower. We know

0:04:48.880 --> 0:04:53.440
<v Speaker 6>that the opportunity around AI is very bullish, and companies

0:04:53.520 --> 0:04:57.960
<v Speaker 6>see productivity gains, they see the opportunities to create efficiencies.

0:04:58.000 --> 0:05:00.600
<v Speaker 6>But we're also still hearing about companies laye people off.

0:05:01.040 --> 0:05:03.880
<v Speaker 6>They're weighing how quickly can we make an investment in

0:05:03.920 --> 0:05:06.479
<v Speaker 6>AI and how quickly can we see a return? And

0:05:06.520 --> 0:05:09.880
<v Speaker 6>are we looking to ten x productivity through the investment

0:05:09.920 --> 0:05:13.680
<v Speaker 6>in these capabilities or are we potentially looking to optimize

0:05:13.680 --> 0:05:16.440
<v Speaker 6>and reduce our cost structures. And until we see a

0:05:16.440 --> 0:05:19.960
<v Speaker 6>little bit more stability in the macro environment, I think

0:05:20.000 --> 0:05:23.760
<v Speaker 6>companies are going to be a little bit more cautious.

0:05:23.839 --> 0:05:26.200
<v Speaker 6>So this is where Microsoft kind of stood out, and

0:05:26.320 --> 0:05:28.800
<v Speaker 6>it looked across their portfolio it wasn't the same Like

0:05:28.800 --> 0:05:31.520
<v Speaker 6>in Microsoft, everyone's just go, go go, but I don't

0:05:31.560 --> 0:05:33.640
<v Speaker 6>necessarily know that that's true across the board.

0:05:35.400 --> 0:05:38.800
<v Speaker 3>Okay, interesting that you're saying, Still the macro picture is mixed.

0:05:39.000 --> 0:05:42.159
<v Speaker 3>Drill into what really Microsoft was showing that it's in

0:05:42.200 --> 0:05:43.559
<v Speaker 3>the right markets at the right time.

0:05:44.760 --> 0:05:47.599
<v Speaker 6>I think they have told the story longer. They have

0:05:47.760 --> 0:05:51.120
<v Speaker 6>their numbers and their metrics well defined. We're talking about

0:05:51.400 --> 0:05:54.279
<v Speaker 6>specifically being able to bear into what part of the business.

0:05:54.320 --> 0:05:55.960
<v Speaker 6>I mean, you're talking about maybe a one to two

0:05:56.000 --> 0:05:58.480
<v Speaker 6>percent depending on the currency adjustment on a year over

0:05:58.560 --> 0:06:01.440
<v Speaker 6>year growth basis, But it was master growth than Google

0:06:01.520 --> 0:06:04.360
<v Speaker 6>twenty two versus upper twenties, and so everyone's saying, Ooh,

0:06:04.400 --> 0:06:08.039
<v Speaker 6>Google bad, Microsoft good. I actually think the weight went

0:06:08.120 --> 0:06:11.160
<v Speaker 6>to the company being able to explain its Azure growth

0:06:11.200 --> 0:06:12.720
<v Speaker 6>and the AI impact.

0:06:12.400 --> 0:06:14.719
<v Speaker 7>Of it three percent versus two percent.

0:06:14.440 --> 0:06:16.880
<v Speaker 6>Meaning more and more of the revenue in Azure is

0:06:17.279 --> 0:06:20.160
<v Speaker 6>related to the company's AI. And then over the last quarter,

0:06:20.200 --> 0:06:22.880
<v Speaker 6>it's been able to talk about its AIPC concepts. It's

0:06:22.920 --> 0:06:25.360
<v Speaker 6>been able to talk about it's thirty dollars per head

0:06:25.360 --> 0:06:28.320
<v Speaker 6>for Copilot, five dollars per head for being enterprise search.

0:06:28.680 --> 0:06:29.520
<v Speaker 7>With Copilot.

0:06:29.600 --> 0:06:33.080
<v Speaker 6>These capabilities are very easy for someone to plug into

0:06:33.080 --> 0:06:35.360
<v Speaker 6>a spreadsheet and say, where's the growth going to come

0:06:35.400 --> 0:06:38.240
<v Speaker 6>from the TAM expansion. And if Microsoft keeps going and

0:06:38.240 --> 0:06:40.920
<v Speaker 6>getting their story out better, it puts all the other

0:06:41.000 --> 0:06:43.960
<v Speaker 6>cloud players at a disadvantage. So that's why I said,

0:06:43.960 --> 0:06:45.800
<v Speaker 6>it's not a tale of good and bad, but it

0:06:45.839 --> 0:06:49.080
<v Speaker 6>is a tale of okay, good and great. And Microsoft

0:06:49.080 --> 0:06:51.120
<v Speaker 6>did a great job of explaining their AI story.

0:06:52.880 --> 0:06:54.400
<v Speaker 3>You did a great job explaining it to us. We

0:06:54.440 --> 0:06:57.039
<v Speaker 3>thank you, Dan and Newman A feature and group of course,

0:06:57.080 --> 0:07:00.200
<v Speaker 3>all things alphabet Microsoft. Let's turn to Snap because well

0:07:00.200 --> 0:07:02.360
<v Speaker 3>this is kind of a macro picture for us as well.

0:07:02.400 --> 0:07:04.960
<v Speaker 3>And but please to welcome Jasmin Emberg, a principle analyst

0:07:04.960 --> 0:07:07.800
<v Speaker 3>in Insider Intelligence. You lead coverage for social media for

0:07:08.120 --> 0:07:12.920
<v Speaker 3>Creator Economy, and well, Snap actually managing to initially rally

0:07:13.120 --> 0:07:15.480
<v Speaker 3>on the fact that its numbers looked better than expected.

0:07:15.560 --> 0:07:19.000
<v Speaker 3>But is this fragile or is this showing actually a

0:07:19.080 --> 0:07:20.920
<v Speaker 3>return to growth when it comes to markets?

0:07:21.920 --> 0:07:24.240
<v Speaker 8>Well, I look, the revenue growth in Q three was

0:07:24.320 --> 0:07:27.840
<v Speaker 8>certainly good news for investors and others who've been wondering

0:07:27.880 --> 0:07:30.400
<v Speaker 8>whether Snap has what it takes to turn its ad

0:07:30.440 --> 0:07:33.920
<v Speaker 8>business around. I think there are some worries and some concerns,

0:07:33.920 --> 0:07:38.840
<v Speaker 8>specifically around the impact of the Israel Hama's war on

0:07:38.880 --> 0:07:42.320
<v Speaker 8>its ad business in Q four, which Snap itself warned about.

0:07:42.680 --> 0:07:45.480
<v Speaker 8>Q four tends to be a quarter that is more

0:07:45.520 --> 0:07:49.120
<v Speaker 8>heavily weighted towards brand advertising. Brands tend to be more

0:07:49.200 --> 0:07:51.600
<v Speaker 8>risk averse, so it's possible that there will be some

0:07:51.960 --> 0:07:54.200
<v Speaker 8>impact on it. But I think in three months from now,

0:07:54.240 --> 0:07:56.840
<v Speaker 8>we also have to remember that Snap is on a

0:07:56.880 --> 0:07:59.400
<v Speaker 8>good path and if it can continue this momentum, it

0:07:59.440 --> 0:08:01.760
<v Speaker 8>will end the year in a better place than where

0:08:01.760 --> 0:08:02.160
<v Speaker 8>it began.

0:08:04.360 --> 0:08:06.880
<v Speaker 3>I'm interested as to where it's invested. We were just

0:08:06.880 --> 0:08:09.280
<v Speaker 3>talking about how Microsoft got itself in the right place

0:08:09.280 --> 0:08:12.520
<v Speaker 3>at the right time around AI, and Snap was really

0:08:12.560 --> 0:08:15.120
<v Speaker 3>innovating in that space, but it didn't pay off. How

0:08:15.120 --> 0:08:18.040
<v Speaker 3>are we seeing those innovations eventually looking to reap some reward.

0:08:19.040 --> 0:08:21.320
<v Speaker 8>Well, I think AI is where Snap needs to be

0:08:21.360 --> 0:08:23.920
<v Speaker 8>innovating right now, and it's definitely made some moves in

0:08:23.920 --> 0:08:26.560
<v Speaker 8>that direction. At the end of Q three, it's shuttered

0:08:26.600 --> 0:08:31.640
<v Speaker 8>it's ares areas, excuse me, it's ar licensing division, which

0:08:31.760 --> 0:08:34.720
<v Speaker 8>when I saw the technology was really promising. But I

0:08:34.760 --> 0:08:37.800
<v Speaker 8>think with the focus being on AI right now. Those

0:08:37.840 --> 0:08:42.360
<v Speaker 8>investments were becoming really difficult to maintain and to justify

0:08:42.400 --> 0:08:43.199
<v Speaker 8>it for the company.

0:08:44.800 --> 0:08:46.880
<v Speaker 5>So the big one after the bell is Meta. And

0:08:46.960 --> 0:08:48.560
<v Speaker 5>you heard me say at the top of the program,

0:08:48.640 --> 0:08:51.160
<v Speaker 5>jazmind it. You know the shares are lower. I think

0:08:51.200 --> 0:08:54.560
<v Speaker 5>folks look at Alphabet and think broadly about advertising, and

0:08:54.600 --> 0:08:57.200
<v Speaker 5>then they think about Meta. But the meta story got

0:08:57.200 --> 0:09:01.400
<v Speaker 5>so complicated metaverse or no metaverse? Then AI, and then

0:09:01.400 --> 0:09:03.520
<v Speaker 5>the bread and butter is ads. What are you expecting?

0:09:04.559 --> 0:09:06.480
<v Speaker 8>Well, in terms of the ad business, there is a

0:09:06.520 --> 0:09:08.600
<v Speaker 8>lot to like about Meta right now. You know, it

0:09:08.679 --> 0:09:12.520
<v Speaker 8>started its rebound already in Q two, and internally we're

0:09:12.520 --> 0:09:16.080
<v Speaker 8>predicting more of the same this quarter. I'll be looking

0:09:16.160 --> 0:09:18.920
<v Speaker 8>to see more about Real's monetization, which we know is

0:09:18.960 --> 0:09:21.920
<v Speaker 8>monetizing at a better rate right now. I'm also curious

0:09:21.960 --> 0:09:25.600
<v Speaker 8>to hear more about the subscription service that it's potentially

0:09:25.679 --> 0:09:28.719
<v Speaker 8>rolling out in Europe, as well as Threads monetization. We've

0:09:28.760 --> 0:09:31.280
<v Speaker 8>seen maybe perhaps a little bit of an uptick and

0:09:31.360 --> 0:09:33.840
<v Speaker 8>engagement on that platform. At least Meta is trying to

0:09:33.920 --> 0:09:36.720
<v Speaker 8>drive more usage there, so be curious to see how

0:09:36.760 --> 0:09:38.280
<v Speaker 8>those things start playing out.

0:09:39.760 --> 0:09:42.679
<v Speaker 5>All right, Jasmine Enberg of Insider Intelligence. Great to have

0:09:42.760 --> 0:09:46.480
<v Speaker 5>you on the program. Let's stick with meta Its first

0:09:46.520 --> 0:09:50.560
<v Speaker 5>truly mixed reality headset, The Quest three is available and

0:09:50.600 --> 0:09:53.520
<v Speaker 5>the expectation is we'll be talking about it at earnings

0:09:53.520 --> 0:09:54.120
<v Speaker 5>after the bell.

0:09:54.360 --> 0:09:56.160
<v Speaker 4>I've got hands on check this out.

0:09:57.040 --> 0:10:00.760
<v Speaker 5>Meta's Quest three, the latest mixed reality had set, is

0:10:00.880 --> 0:10:03.679
<v Speaker 5>lighter and thinner than Quest two, but with similar video

0:10:03.720 --> 0:10:06.920
<v Speaker 5>game style wireless controllers. Launching apps and games is smoother

0:10:07.120 --> 0:10:10.160
<v Speaker 5>with improved graphics. That's partly down to an updated processor,

0:10:10.240 --> 0:10:13.319
<v Speaker 5>a second generation Qualcomm Snapdragon.

0:10:13.040 --> 0:10:13.880
<v Speaker 4>XR two chip.

0:10:13.960 --> 0:10:16.199
<v Speaker 5>The five hundred dollars Quest three allows you to switch

0:10:16.240 --> 0:10:21.040
<v Speaker 5>between augmented reality and virtual reality modes. You can play games, exercise,

0:10:21.280 --> 0:10:24.760
<v Speaker 5>and explore virtual galaxies. Augmented reality is powered by dual

0:10:24.760 --> 0:10:28.520
<v Speaker 5>colour pass through cameras. This game projects puffians you have

0:10:28.600 --> 0:10:31.480
<v Speaker 5>to catch against the backdrop of the real world around you.

0:10:31.640 --> 0:10:33.880
<v Speaker 5>The virtual world you can explore in the Quest three

0:10:34.040 --> 0:10:37.720
<v Speaker 5>also have higher resolution. More games are coming. Metas partnered

0:10:37.760 --> 0:10:40.800
<v Speaker 5>with Microsoft to bring Xbox Cloud Gaming to the device

0:10:41.040 --> 0:10:44.360
<v Speaker 5>in December. I also got quite a workout boxing in

0:10:44.400 --> 0:10:48.520
<v Speaker 5>full virtual reality. We also tested the latest Meta smart glasses,

0:10:48.800 --> 0:10:51.560
<v Speaker 5>made in partnership with RayBan Metas upgraded the tech with

0:10:51.640 --> 0:10:55.480
<v Speaker 5>a twelve megapixel camera and five microphones. The glasses can

0:10:55.520 --> 0:10:59.120
<v Speaker 5>take photos, record video, and start a live stream through

0:10:59.240 --> 0:11:03.680
<v Speaker 5>voice control. A static led light indicates a photo being taken,

0:11:04.000 --> 0:11:07.760
<v Speaker 5>flashing light means a video is being captured. The glasses

0:11:07.840 --> 0:11:11.120
<v Speaker 5>also come equipped with Meta AI, the company's AI assistant.

0:11:11.280 --> 0:11:17.080
<v Speaker 5>Hey Meta, take a photo. You can send content directly

0:11:17.120 --> 0:11:20.000
<v Speaker 5>from the glasses to a friend via a Messenger or WhatsApp,

0:11:20.120 --> 0:11:23.560
<v Speaker 5>and live stream video to Instagram or Facebook.

0:11:34.760 --> 0:11:37.640
<v Speaker 3>We've all been affected in it one way or another. Families, friends,

0:11:37.640 --> 0:11:41.320
<v Speaker 3>fertility treatments. They're often very expensive and in some areas

0:11:41.360 --> 0:11:44.760
<v Speaker 3>actually inaccessible. As why startups like Geya they aim to

0:11:44.760 --> 0:11:47.599
<v Speaker 3>prioritize inclusivity for its customers. In fact, the company was

0:11:47.640 --> 0:11:49.720
<v Speaker 3>launched in twenty twenty two and it's raised already twenty

0:11:49.720 --> 0:11:52.600
<v Speaker 3>three million dollars. Has also been featured on Bloomberg's UK's

0:11:52.640 --> 0:11:55.040
<v Speaker 3>list of startups to watch. Tell us a little bit more.

0:11:55.240 --> 0:11:57.760
<v Speaker 3>Let's see Art's chief of staff over at Gaya and

0:11:58.360 --> 0:12:00.360
<v Speaker 3>can you just explain a little bit about in at

0:12:00.520 --> 0:12:04.800
<v Speaker 3>innovative model here? How are you enabling basically any partnership

0:12:04.840 --> 0:12:07.880
<v Speaker 3>to be able to look at accessing IBF. Yeah, absolutely so.

0:12:08.000 --> 0:12:10.080
<v Speaker 9>Guya was really born out of our founder and nadows

0:12:10.120 --> 0:12:12.920
<v Speaker 9>like experience with IVF and he first hand went through

0:12:13.280 --> 0:12:16.280
<v Speaker 9>five IVF cycles, four failed rounds, and he just realized

0:12:16.559 --> 0:12:19.000
<v Speaker 9>how broken the system really was, and the first thing

0:12:19.040 --> 0:12:21.120
<v Speaker 9>he wanted to improve was access because he saw the

0:12:21.120 --> 0:12:23.360
<v Speaker 9>financial gamble that people take. You have to save up

0:12:23.400 --> 0:12:25.439
<v Speaker 9>all this money upfront in order to go through treatment.

0:12:26.000 --> 0:12:28.720
<v Speaker 9>And so what we've done at Gia's we've basically created

0:12:28.760 --> 0:12:31.560
<v Speaker 9>the most affordable way to start and protect your treatment.

0:12:31.679 --> 0:12:35.120
<v Speaker 9>So people will pay Gaya a small protection fee to

0:12:35.200 --> 0:12:38.000
<v Speaker 9>start treatment, and then GIA pays the clinics and takes

0:12:38.600 --> 0:12:41.120
<v Speaker 9>care of the whole administrative burden that goes on, you know,

0:12:41.160 --> 0:12:43.679
<v Speaker 9>behind the scenes, like paying invoices and all of that,

0:12:43.760 --> 0:12:46.040
<v Speaker 9>and the member just focuses on going through treatment and

0:12:46.080 --> 0:12:48.720
<v Speaker 9>they pay Guya back in monthly installments if and when

0:12:48.720 --> 0:12:50.559
<v Speaker 9>they have a child, and if they don't have a child,

0:12:50.600 --> 0:12:51.640
<v Speaker 9>they have nothing more to pay.

0:12:52.280 --> 0:12:54.680
<v Speaker 3>So, but how do you take on that financial burden

0:12:54.720 --> 0:12:59.199
<v Speaker 3>if after desperately sad several rounds, they decided are they

0:12:59.360 --> 0:13:01.520
<v Speaker 3>inevitably believe realized they can't have a chance.

0:13:01.720 --> 0:13:03.600
<v Speaker 9>How does guya take on that pund Yeah, So we

0:13:03.640 --> 0:13:05.760
<v Speaker 9>actually have insurers who underwrite the risk for us. So

0:13:05.760 --> 0:13:08.320
<v Speaker 9>we've built a model based on you know, million data

0:13:08.320 --> 0:13:10.600
<v Speaker 9>points from clinical data sets of all the IVF outcomes

0:13:10.640 --> 0:13:13.400
<v Speaker 9>since the early nineties, and so we predict our members'

0:13:13.440 --> 0:13:16.080
<v Speaker 9>chances of success over a certain number of rounds, and

0:13:16.160 --> 0:13:17.480
<v Speaker 9>our underwriters take.

0:13:17.280 --> 0:13:20.920
<v Speaker 3>On that risk. So how innovative was this story to

0:13:20.920 --> 0:13:23.240
<v Speaker 3>be able to tell to vcs? How easy was it

0:13:23.320 --> 0:13:26.200
<v Speaker 3>to convince and to raise money or not? As case maybe, so.

0:13:26.240 --> 0:13:28.480
<v Speaker 9>I think it was quite difficult, and especially actually, you know,

0:13:28.520 --> 0:13:30.760
<v Speaker 9>at first, to convince the underwriters this is like a

0:13:30.800 --> 0:13:32.319
<v Speaker 9>new model. And so we feel very lucky to have

0:13:32.360 --> 0:13:35.319
<v Speaker 9>been backed by three incredible underwriters who really understood and

0:13:35.360 --> 0:13:37.400
<v Speaker 9>worked with us to build this product from the ground up.

0:13:37.840 --> 0:13:39.800
<v Speaker 9>And we're also incredibly lucky to have vcs who really

0:13:39.880 --> 0:13:42.040
<v Speaker 9>understand the space and you know, didn't dismiss it as

0:13:42.080 --> 0:13:45.120
<v Speaker 9>a more niche sort of you know, woman's health topic

0:13:45.160 --> 0:13:47.880
<v Speaker 9>and really understood like how big and important the topic was.

0:13:47.920 --> 0:13:50.400
<v Speaker 9>And so we feel very lucky with our backers. Our

0:13:50.440 --> 0:13:51.079
<v Speaker 9>underwriters are.

0:13:51.040 --> 0:13:53.839
<v Speaker 3>Not our vcs, and it's notable that you know, might

0:13:53.880 --> 0:13:57.200
<v Speaker 3>be labeled femtech, but male founder and IVF problems are

0:13:57.600 --> 0:14:00.400
<v Speaker 3>also male and female in many ways. And I mean

0:14:00.640 --> 0:14:02.880
<v Speaker 3>I'm sat here today because of IVF. So this is

0:14:02.920 --> 0:14:05.480
<v Speaker 3>a long term set of data points you can lean

0:14:05.520 --> 0:14:08.880
<v Speaker 3>on how easy or difficult was it to access that data?

0:14:08.920 --> 0:14:10.560
<v Speaker 9>So you have to do sort of an application with

0:14:10.600 --> 0:14:13.400
<v Speaker 9>a research you know, assistant who's helping us get access

0:14:13.400 --> 0:14:15.480
<v Speaker 9>to it. And we've done a huge amount of research,

0:14:15.520 --> 0:14:17.840
<v Speaker 9>you know, looking into whether it be AMI effects it,

0:14:17.840 --> 0:14:19.880
<v Speaker 9>whether you should have BEMI cutoff points, age cut off

0:14:19.880 --> 0:14:22.560
<v Speaker 9>points to really also increase access in that manner, and

0:14:22.600 --> 0:14:25.720
<v Speaker 9>so you have to put an application to access it.

0:14:25.760 --> 0:14:27.680
<v Speaker 9>And we you know, we get data from our partner

0:14:27.680 --> 0:14:30.240
<v Speaker 9>clinics and all anonymous, but we work hard to get

0:14:30.320 --> 0:14:31.800
<v Speaker 9>data to make sure we're increasing access.

0:14:32.160 --> 0:14:34.960
<v Speaker 3>Is it all British data or a UK based company?

0:14:35.000 --> 0:14:37.360
<v Speaker 3>Are you learned to go geographically wider?

0:14:37.400 --> 0:14:39.600
<v Speaker 9>Yeah, we're currently based in the UK, but definitely also

0:14:39.600 --> 0:14:41.240
<v Speaker 9>operate in Spain and Greece because there's a lot of

0:14:41.280 --> 0:14:43.640
<v Speaker 9>IVF tourism to these countries and then we are looking

0:14:43.680 --> 0:14:45.520
<v Speaker 9>to expand to more markets, So more news on that

0:14:45.560 --> 0:14:46.240
<v Speaker 9>early next year.

0:14:46.600 --> 0:14:50.320
<v Speaker 3>And how different is it accessing different markets in different

0:14:50.520 --> 0:14:53.880
<v Speaker 3>ways in which IVF is offered and functions and indeed

0:14:53.920 --> 0:14:57.000
<v Speaker 3>access to data in different geographies.

0:14:57.040 --> 0:14:58.320
<v Speaker 9>Yeah, it's a good question. I mean, so in a

0:14:58.360 --> 0:15:00.520
<v Speaker 9>lot of countries, you know, you have different funding by

0:15:00.560 --> 0:15:03.480
<v Speaker 9>the states. Some countries are better than others. UK, like

0:15:03.520 --> 0:15:05.840
<v Speaker 9>sixty five percent of IVF cycles are paid out of pocket.

0:15:06.200 --> 0:15:09.720
<v Speaker 9>US is another high private pay market, and so you know,

0:15:09.760 --> 0:15:11.280
<v Speaker 9>you do have to look at what exists in these

0:15:11.320 --> 0:15:15.480
<v Speaker 9>market before before entering. In terms of getting access to data,

0:15:15.880 --> 0:15:18.560
<v Speaker 9>it's about like working with our partners, working with researchers.

0:15:19.800 --> 0:15:21.360
<v Speaker 9>The good thing about IVF is that it does have

0:15:21.440 --> 0:15:23.920
<v Speaker 9>outcome data from since IVF started and then you know

0:15:24.040 --> 0:15:28.440
<v Speaker 9>in the seventies, nineteen seventy eight. Yeah, exactly, So we

0:15:28.480 --> 0:15:30.120
<v Speaker 9>do have all that outcome data that we have access

0:15:30.160 --> 0:15:32.160
<v Speaker 9>to and that we that we can use in order

0:15:32.160 --> 0:15:33.000
<v Speaker 9>to improve our models.

0:15:33.080 --> 0:15:35.280
<v Speaker 3>And I'm pretty sure AI is going to be being

0:15:35.320 --> 0:15:37.840
<v Speaker 3>pretty useful as well. Alexia, it's great to have some

0:15:37.880 --> 0:15:40.800
<v Speaker 3>time with you. Thank you, of course, featured on our

0:15:40.920 --> 0:15:43.280

<v Speaker 3>First up, the Chinese government calling it's proven to fox

0:15:57.720 --> 0:16:01.400

<v Speaker 3>weekend that government regulators are conducting tax audits and reviewing

0:16:04.840 --> 0:16:07.480
<v Speaker 3>land use of fox Con. Fox Con says it will

0:16:07.480 --> 0:16:11.000
<v Speaker 3>work with authorities. Meanwhile, Japan is aiming to secure an

0:16:11.000 --> 0:16:14.640
<v Speaker 3>additional ten billion dollars in subsidies for two semiconductor projects.

0:16:14.640 --> 0:16:16.880
<v Speaker 3>More than half will be set aside for a second

0:16:16.920 --> 0:16:20.200
<v Speaker 3>TSMC factory in southwestern Japan. The new factory is expected

0:16:20.240 --> 0:16:24.120
<v Speaker 3>to make nanometer logic chips. Plus Apple Well, It's set

0:16:24.160 --> 0:16:26.880
<v Speaker 3>to revamp its TV app as part of an effort

0:16:26.960 --> 0:16:29.000
<v Speaker 3>to become well a larger player in the streaming world.

0:16:29.240 --> 0:16:32.560
<v Speaker 3>Changes include discontinuing apps on the Apple TV set top

0:16:32.640 --> 0:16:35.440
<v Speaker 3>box and let users buy and rent movies and shows.

0:16:35.600 --> 0:16:38.520
<v Speaker 3>We'll also remove the movie and TV show sections from

0:16:38.560 --> 0:16:41.880
<v Speaker 3>the iTunes store app and for more. Let's dig into

0:16:41.880 --> 0:16:44.960
<v Speaker 3>this scoop one and only Mark German, and it's plenty

0:16:45.040 --> 0:16:47.320
<v Speaker 3>talked about across online at the moment. Today, Mark just

0:16:47.560 --> 0:16:49.760
<v Speaker 3>tell us a little bit about how they think these

0:16:49.840 --> 0:16:51.040
<v Speaker 3>changes will help them compete.

0:16:51.920 --> 0:16:53.800
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, this is a pretty big upgrade coming to the

0:16:53.840 --> 0:16:56.720
<v Speaker 1>TV app on the Apple TV. They're adding a new

0:16:56.760 --> 0:16:58.920
<v Speaker 1>sidebar and a new interface that makes it look more

0:16:58.960 --> 0:17:01.960
<v Speaker 1>like Netflix. The current TV app, if anyone has used

0:17:01.960 --> 0:17:05.159
<v Speaker 1>it on the Apple TV is not very intuitive. The

0:17:05.160 --> 0:17:08.120
<v Speaker 1>idea is to aggregate content from a number of sources.

0:17:08.160 --> 0:17:10.960
<v Speaker 1>TV Plus, which by the way, Apple announced this morning,

0:17:11.000 --> 0:17:13.280
<v Speaker 1>is getting a price increase from seven dollars a month

0:17:13.280 --> 0:17:15.200
<v Speaker 1>to ten dollars a month, and I'm sure we'll talk

0:17:15.240 --> 0:17:17.520
<v Speaker 1>more about that over the course of the day. It

0:17:17.560 --> 0:17:22.440
<v Speaker 1>integrates from there apps like ESPN, Amazon Prime Live News.

0:17:22.240 --> 0:17:23.800
<v Speaker 7>Other live sports networks, but.

0:17:23.800 --> 0:17:26.080
<v Speaker 1>It's a little confusing to navigate, so this is designed

0:17:26.080 --> 0:17:28.800
<v Speaker 1>to simplify it. They're also going to be removing the

0:17:28.880 --> 0:17:32.000
<v Speaker 1>iTunes Movie and iTunes TV Show apps from the Apple

0:17:32.040 --> 0:17:35.320
<v Speaker 1>TV and from the iTunes Store app on iOS. The

0:17:35.359 --> 0:17:37.199
<v Speaker 1>reason they're doing that is you can already buy that

0:17:37.280 --> 0:17:39.480
<v Speaker 1>content in the TV app, and they want to push

0:17:39.600 --> 0:17:42.600
<v Speaker 1>anyone looking to watch video on their devices to the

0:17:42.640 --> 0:17:45.720
<v Speaker 1>TV app. Obviously that's the center of their video strategy.

0:17:45.720 --> 0:17:48.080
<v Speaker 1>Now that's where you can sign up for these subscriptions,

0:17:48.280 --> 0:17:51.480
<v Speaker 1>both Apple TV channel add ons plus the now ten

0:17:51.520 --> 0:17:52.879
<v Speaker 1>dollars a month TV Plus service.

0:17:53.680 --> 0:17:55.000
<v Speaker 4>You're right that we'll talk about it.

0:17:55.040 --> 0:17:57.040
<v Speaker 5>The breaking news of the day is that Apple is

0:17:57.119 --> 0:18:01.560
<v Speaker 5>raised prices marked across basically all of it services where

0:18:01.560 --> 0:18:05.400
<v Speaker 5>the price increases and why really, Yeah, so.

0:18:05.320 --> 0:18:07.000
<v Speaker 1>Going from seven a month to ten a month for

0:18:07.000 --> 0:18:09.720
<v Speaker 1>Apple TV Plus. Now over the past year they've doubled

0:18:09.720 --> 0:18:11.760
<v Speaker 1>the price because they increased it from five to seven

0:18:11.800 --> 0:18:14.600
<v Speaker 1>dollars a month October last year, so now ten dollars

0:18:14.640 --> 0:18:17.720
<v Speaker 1>a month for Apple TV plus Apple Music that price

0:18:17.760 --> 0:18:21.120
<v Speaker 1>increase from ten to eleven dollars last year. That remains,

0:18:21.440 --> 0:18:24.240
<v Speaker 1>but Newsplus is going from ten dollars a month to

0:18:24.280 --> 0:18:27.160
<v Speaker 1>thirteen dollars per month, and Apple Arcade is going from

0:18:27.560 --> 0:18:30.120
<v Speaker 1>five dollars a month to seven dollars a month now.

0:18:30.119 --> 0:18:33.000
<v Speaker 1>These increases come as they've expanded the content offerings in

0:18:33.040 --> 0:18:36.240
<v Speaker 1>both Apple Arcade as well as Apple TV Plus. Apple

0:18:36.240 --> 0:18:40.040
<v Speaker 1>tv Plus is getting more shows very frequently. There have

0:18:40.119 --> 0:18:43.840
<v Speaker 1>been hits lately. Obviously, everyone's been talking about the Scorsese.

0:18:43.440 --> 0:18:44.160
<v Speaker 7>Movie on there.

0:18:44.800 --> 0:18:47.360
<v Speaker 1>Apple Arcade, they've doubled the amount of games they've had

0:18:47.359 --> 0:18:49.159
<v Speaker 1>on there since they launched it at five dollars a

0:18:49.160 --> 0:18:52.520
<v Speaker 1>month in twenty nineteen. News Plus they need more revenue

0:18:52.560 --> 0:18:56.119
<v Speaker 1>to pay publishers more money. Right, publishers are even losing

0:18:56.119 --> 0:18:58.520
<v Speaker 1>money or not making so much money on Newsplus, so

0:18:58.560 --> 0:19:01.200
<v Speaker 1>hopefully publishers are now going to get an increased revenue

0:19:01.240 --> 0:19:03.560
<v Speaker 1>share because of this, rather than the money going into

0:19:03.600 --> 0:19:07.160
<v Speaker 1>Apple's pocket. In terms of their other services, Apple one

0:19:07.240 --> 0:19:09.679
<v Speaker 1>bundles those who went up quite significantly as well to

0:19:09.720 --> 0:19:13.240
<v Speaker 1>incorporate those price increases. But Fitness Plus and iCloud.

0:19:13.000 --> 0:19:13.600
<v Speaker 3>Stay the same.

0:19:14.359 --> 0:19:16.919
<v Speaker 4>I think that's Mark German and all things Apple. Thank you.

0:19:17.600 --> 0:19:20.960
<v Speaker 5>Also out across the Bloomberg universe, Ruin is the first

0:19:20.960 --> 0:19:25.320
<v Speaker 5>documentary by Bloomberg originals that dives into the collapse of FTX,

0:19:25.359 --> 0:19:28.800
<v Speaker 5>as narrated by Bloomberg journalists and some of the central

0:19:28.920 --> 0:19:31.120
<v Speaker 5>players in the rise of these assets.

0:19:31.119 --> 0:19:32.920
<v Speaker 4>Here's a sneak preview of the film.

0:19:33.480 --> 0:19:36.520
<v Speaker 6>I don't think he even had almost a conception at

0:19:36.520 --> 0:19:38.680
<v Speaker 6>some points that it was wrong or right.

0:19:38.920 --> 0:19:40.640
<v Speaker 4>I think he just had the mentality that he has

0:19:40.680 --> 0:19:40.960
<v Speaker 4>to win.

0:19:41.080 --> 0:19:45.520
<v Speaker 1>It was almost like trying to explain like business ethics

0:19:45.560 --> 0:19:46.680
<v Speaker 1>one O one to a baby.

0:19:47.400 --> 0:19:50.160
<v Speaker 11>Sama has basically become a villain in everyone's minds.

0:19:50.520 --> 0:19:53.760
<v Speaker 3>This committee will not stop until we uncover the bull

0:19:53.840 --> 0:19:57.159
<v Speaker 3>through behind the collapse of FTX. Will this be the

0:19:57.240 --> 0:19:58.120
<v Speaker 3>last of its kind?

0:19:58.480 --> 0:20:01.280
<v Speaker 7>No, this is the nature of happened was and get.

0:20:01.000 --> 0:20:11.080
<v Speaker 5>Over joining us with more Bloomberg's Max Chafkin, and my goodness,

0:20:11.160 --> 0:20:13.359
<v Speaker 5>what a project to be involved and tell us about it.

0:20:13.720 --> 0:20:16.080
<v Speaker 12>Yeah, I mean, and it's it's continuing on. I mean,

0:20:16.119 --> 0:20:19.600
<v Speaker 12>we we just learned hours ago that we'll get testimony

0:20:19.800 --> 0:20:22.800
<v Speaker 12>from Sam Bankman Freed in the trial. You know, this

0:20:22.920 --> 0:20:26.280
<v Speaker 12>is has been a year of just crazy news, a

0:20:26.359 --> 0:20:29.800
<v Speaker 12>time in which Sam Bankman Freed went from being you know,

0:20:30.160 --> 0:20:32.920
<v Speaker 12>seen as as one of the members of the establishment,

0:20:33.160 --> 0:20:35.879
<v Speaker 12>you know, the one of the youngest billionaires ever to

0:20:36.000 --> 0:20:39.800
<v Speaker 12>being potentially facing a life sentence and we could you know,

0:20:39.840 --> 0:20:43.000
<v Speaker 12>get a verdict as as early as next week, if

0:20:43.040 --> 0:20:46.160
<v Speaker 12>not the week after. So so really a lot happening

0:20:46.200 --> 0:20:50.840
<v Speaker 12>here in Crypto and a real reckoning after you know,

0:20:50.960 --> 0:20:53.120
<v Speaker 12>years of really serious growth.

0:20:54.960 --> 0:20:58.360
<v Speaker 3>And there was always sort of more and more extraordinary

0:20:59.000 --> 0:21:02.720
<v Speaker 3>parts to this story, shocking anecdotes. What took you most

0:21:03.240 --> 0:21:05.480
<v Speaker 3>by surprise, Max, when you were really deep diving into

0:21:05.480 --> 0:21:06.720
<v Speaker 3>this making, I mean.

0:21:06.600 --> 0:21:11.400
<v Speaker 12>To me, the most surprising thing here was just the

0:21:11.440 --> 0:21:14.119
<v Speaker 12>way that Sam Bankmin Freed, of course, sort of talked

0:21:14.119 --> 0:21:17.280
<v Speaker 12>his way into this amazing position, this position where he

0:21:17.400 --> 0:21:20.840
<v Speaker 12>was in the room with famous venture capitalists and politicians

0:21:20.880 --> 0:21:23.359
<v Speaker 12>and celebrities and Tom Brady and so on. And he

0:21:23.480 --> 0:21:26.920
<v Speaker 12>essentially attempted the same strategy on the way down right.

0:21:26.960 --> 0:21:30.639
<v Speaker 12>We saw him talking giving these kind of bizarre, meandering

0:21:30.680 --> 0:21:35.200
<v Speaker 12>interviews in the month, weeks and months after FTX had

0:21:35.200 --> 0:21:37.520
<v Speaker 12>gone bankrupt. And again I think we're going to see

0:21:37.640 --> 0:21:40.800
<v Speaker 12>kind of a crescendo of that when he takes the stand.

0:21:41.080 --> 0:21:42.680
<v Speaker 4>This is somebody who.

0:21:42.800 --> 0:21:44.920
<v Speaker 12>Has you know, been able to wrap a lot of

0:21:44.960 --> 0:21:53.200
<v Speaker 12>people around his finger and watching that all unravel again staggering.

0:21:51.400 --> 0:21:54.320
<v Speaker 5>Moos mats Chefkin, thank you very much and ruin money,

0:21:54.400 --> 0:21:58.359
<v Speaker 5>ego and deception at FTX as Wednesday at eight pm

0:21:58.440 --> 0:22:10.560
<v Speaker 5>New York time here on Bloomberg Television, Welcome back to

0:22:10.560 --> 0:22:14.560
<v Speaker 5>Bloomberg Technology. Ed Ludlow here in San Francisco.

0:22:15.080 --> 0:22:17.840
<v Speaker 3>And I'm Karen Hyed right here in London. And in

0:22:17.880 --> 0:22:19.480
<v Speaker 3>fact we want to be talking a little bit more

0:22:19.520 --> 0:22:22.560
<v Speaker 3>about the world of the UK VC. In the UK

0:22:22.720 --> 0:22:25.840
<v Speaker 3>it's VC spotlight. Just two months ago, Silicon Valley firm IVP,

0:22:26.320 --> 0:22:29.800
<v Speaker 3>born in the nineteen eighties, took a leap across the pond,

0:22:29.880 --> 0:22:32.840
<v Speaker 3>opening office right here in London. Nearly twenty years after

0:22:33.000 --> 0:22:35.639
<v Speaker 3>it first aver actually started investing in Europe as a sphere.

0:22:35.880 --> 0:22:38.360
<v Speaker 3>Ivp's Alex Lim joins us now to discuss what has

0:22:38.400 --> 0:22:41.880
<v Speaker 3>been well. I decided boots on ground mentality like, why

0:22:41.920 --> 0:22:45.320
<v Speaker 3>did you decide, having already had some big hits UiPath,

0:22:45.400 --> 0:22:47.480
<v Speaker 3>you've been in Supercell, why did you need to be

0:22:47.560 --> 0:22:49.480
<v Speaker 3>here to access European talent a bit more?

0:22:49.640 --> 0:22:49.960
<v Speaker 7>Yeah.

0:22:50.000 --> 0:22:54.719
<v Speaker 11>Absolutely, we've had some great successes in Europe over the years.

0:22:55.000 --> 0:22:57.840
<v Speaker 11>We have been fortunate to be backers of companies like

0:22:57.920 --> 0:23:02.959
<v Speaker 11>Wys and Supercell, UiPath, and that gives us increased confidence

0:23:03.119 --> 0:23:06.399
<v Speaker 11>in the region that there will be more entrepreneurs that

0:23:06.440 --> 0:23:10.000
<v Speaker 11>come up and build global businesses out of Europe. As

0:23:10.000 --> 0:23:13.359
<v Speaker 11>it pertains to opening an office here in London, we

0:23:13.400 --> 0:23:15.800
<v Speaker 11>want to be really close to the founders that we back.

0:23:16.040 --> 0:23:18.360
<v Speaker 11>We often serve on the boards of the companies we

0:23:18.760 --> 0:23:22.520
<v Speaker 11>invest in, and so having that close relationship where we're

0:23:22.560 --> 0:23:25.160
<v Speaker 11>just a time zone or a short flight away from

0:23:25.200 --> 0:23:28.520
<v Speaker 11>the founders we work with is really important to our strategy.

0:23:30.000 --> 0:23:33.520
<v Speaker 3>I think also what's happening the sense of being close

0:23:33.680 --> 0:23:36.120
<v Speaker 3>we're now though, are we ever hitting a tipping point

0:23:36.119 --> 0:23:38.040
<v Speaker 3>where you think of some of the companies you're already

0:23:38.040 --> 0:23:41.560
<v Speaker 3>backed that have shown exits, that have had liquidity events,

0:23:41.560 --> 0:23:45.119
<v Speaker 3>that have therefore probably see people leave the companies and

0:23:45.160 --> 0:23:47.760
<v Speaker 3>start building their own. Are you seeing that flywheel of

0:23:47.800 --> 0:23:50.760
<v Speaker 3>like UiPath, but now you've decided to go build your

0:23:50.800 --> 0:23:51.560
<v Speaker 3>own new startup?

0:23:51.840 --> 0:23:52.480
<v Speaker 4>Absolutely.

0:23:53.160 --> 0:23:55.920
<v Speaker 11>UiPath is spinning out a couple of great companies right now,

0:23:55.920 --> 0:23:58.800
<v Speaker 11>which we're actively tracking, and I think there'll be more

0:23:58.800 --> 0:24:02.040
<v Speaker 11>and more entrepreneurs technical people that come out of these

0:24:02.040 --> 0:24:06.879
<v Speaker 11>companies and decide that entrepreneurship is their next career career path.

0:24:07.400 --> 0:24:11.520
<v Speaker 11>We travel all over Europe. We've actually been since opening

0:24:11.520 --> 0:24:15.040
<v Speaker 11>the office in August in eight different cities, so we're

0:24:15.119 --> 0:24:19.560
<v Speaker 11>trying to find these entrepreneurs wherever they are, and they

0:24:19.640 --> 0:24:22.240
<v Speaker 11>do come out of different places, not just the major

0:24:22.280 --> 0:24:25.240
<v Speaker 11>tech hubs like Berlin, Paris and London.

0:24:25.960 --> 0:24:29.320
<v Speaker 3>What's interesting is today, of all days, you're seeing one

0:24:29.440 --> 0:24:34.640
<v Speaker 3>key fintech player listed in France. Worldline absolutely pummeled, largely

0:24:34.800 --> 0:24:37.880
<v Speaker 3>the idiosyncratic some of it, but also an economic perspective

0:24:37.920 --> 0:24:40.480
<v Speaker 3>that Germany is about to hit recession. It's an interesting

0:24:40.520 --> 0:24:42.560
<v Speaker 3>time to be wanting to plowing into Europe at the moment.

0:24:42.640 --> 0:24:45.280
<v Speaker 3>How has that economic macro backdrop affected some of the

0:24:45.280 --> 0:24:46.440
<v Speaker 3>companies to support.

0:24:46.720 --> 0:24:49.240
<v Speaker 11>We think a lot about the technology ecosystem and the

0:24:49.280 --> 0:24:52.119
<v Speaker 11>markets that we serve, and so you can think of

0:24:52.160 --> 0:24:54.560
<v Speaker 11>back to twenty twenty two, there was a reset in

0:24:54.600 --> 0:24:58.639
<v Speaker 11>the equity markets for public technology stocks that has affected

0:24:59.200 --> 0:25:02.080
<v Speaker 11>technology all across our region.

0:25:02.200 --> 0:25:03.520
<v Speaker 4>In Europe.

0:25:03.800 --> 0:25:07.720
<v Speaker 11>There is more and more realization that we might be

0:25:07.880 --> 0:25:11.560
<v Speaker 11>entering a recessionary environment, so our entrepreneurs are starting to

0:25:11.600 --> 0:25:12.960
<v Speaker 11>prepare for that.

0:25:12.960 --> 0:25:14.119
<v Speaker 4>That said, a lot.

0:25:14.000 --> 0:25:17.640
<v Speaker 11>Of our companies actually do well in recessionary environments. They

0:25:17.680 --> 0:25:24.840
<v Speaker 11>are increasing productivity for businesses or providing valuable services to consumers,

0:25:25.160 --> 0:25:28.119
<v Speaker 11>so that we do think there are some counter cyclical

0:25:28.880 --> 0:25:30.320
<v Speaker 11>companies within our portfolio.

0:25:31.480 --> 0:25:32.800
<v Speaker 4>Alex is, good to see you.

0:25:32.800 --> 0:25:35.199
<v Speaker 5>Your business partner, Eric was on the show with us

0:25:35.240 --> 0:25:37.800
<v Speaker 5>in August when you announced you'd open a London office.

0:25:38.080 --> 0:25:40.080
<v Speaker 5>The next day, he jumped on a plane and moved

0:25:40.119 --> 0:25:42.560
<v Speaker 5>his life to London. And I guess I want to

0:25:42.600 --> 0:25:44.359
<v Speaker 5>know what you've been up to since you know. What

0:25:45.000 --> 0:25:48.040
<v Speaker 5>is it like in London? Are there hackathons and mixers

0:25:48.119 --> 0:25:50.840
<v Speaker 5>and drinks and you're making friends with all of the

0:25:50.880 --> 0:25:53.960
<v Speaker 5>people you've been working with long distance on rounds.

0:25:53.640 --> 0:25:58.840
<v Speaker 11>With Yeah, we're definitely getting out into the ecosystem. An

0:25:58.880 --> 0:26:02.440
<v Speaker 11>important part of our business is to get out into

0:26:02.480 --> 0:26:05.760
<v Speaker 11>the regions that we serve and meet the great founders,

0:26:05.880 --> 0:26:11.320
<v Speaker 11>the great entrepreneurs, and then also venture backers. Each of

0:26:11.359 --> 0:26:15.719
<v Speaker 11>these cities around Europe have local seed investors that we

0:26:15.840 --> 0:26:19.800
<v Speaker 11>love to partner with because usually we're coming in as

0:26:19.800 --> 0:26:23.480
<v Speaker 11>a second or third round of investment, so we're out

0:26:23.480 --> 0:26:26.240
<v Speaker 11>there on planes making sure that we're face to face

0:26:26.280 --> 0:26:30.400
<v Speaker 11>with those people, and it's definitely a huge priority for us.

0:26:30.720 --> 0:26:35.639
<v Speaker 11>We're also have a large portfolio within Europe already, so

0:26:35.680 --> 0:26:38.800
<v Speaker 11>we're traveling to these cities to go to board meetings.

0:26:39.400 --> 0:26:42.440
<v Speaker 11>You're going to Paris to see pigment, or to Germany

0:26:42.520 --> 0:26:45.600
<v Speaker 11>to see deep l There's a lot of different reasons

0:26:45.640 --> 0:26:47.760
<v Speaker 11>why we get out into the region, and I think

0:26:47.800 --> 0:26:49.080
<v Speaker 11>that's a real positive for us.

0:26:50.280 --> 0:26:53.560
<v Speaker 5>Alex Is there the variety of technology in Europe that

0:26:53.640 --> 0:26:56.200
<v Speaker 5>we have here in the Silicon Valley in the Bay Area,

0:26:56.240 --> 0:27:00.200
<v Speaker 5>across software, hardware, everything that's happening in AI, you have

0:27:00.320 --> 0:27:03.080
<v Speaker 5>the same things to pick from.

0:27:03.200 --> 0:27:06.880
<v Speaker 11>Yeah, there's a huge variety, and it's funny that in

0:27:06.880 --> 0:27:11.920
<v Speaker 11>individual cities there are different areas of expertise. Obviously London

0:27:12.200 --> 0:27:16.720
<v Speaker 11>with the strong backing of financial services and great talent

0:27:16.800 --> 0:27:18.720
<v Speaker 11>you have in that area. We back a lot of

0:27:18.760 --> 0:27:22.359
<v Speaker 11>fintech companies here. So an example would be a Vault,

0:27:22.440 --> 0:27:25.760
<v Speaker 11>which we backed earlier this year. They're a financial technology

0:27:25.800 --> 0:27:30.159
<v Speaker 11>company working on account to account payments or see on,

0:27:30.480 --> 0:27:33.439
<v Speaker 11>which is in the fraud verification space. But then you

0:27:33.480 --> 0:27:36.160
<v Speaker 11>travel other places and you see different pockets of talent.

0:27:36.560 --> 0:27:39.600
<v Speaker 11>One area that I'm really excited about right now is

0:27:39.720 --> 0:27:44.119
<v Speaker 11>Paris and France. They have such strong AI talent and

0:27:44.160 --> 0:27:46.439
<v Speaker 11>so we're seeing more and more companies come out of

0:27:46.480 --> 0:27:48.720
<v Speaker 11>that ecosystem that we're trying to back.

0:27:49.000 --> 0:27:54.199
<v Speaker 3>Great universities both UK, France and Europe. More broadly, alex

0:27:54.200 --> 0:27:56.560
<v Speaker 3>though you put a very sort of positive spin on it.

0:27:56.640 --> 0:27:59.240
<v Speaker 3>A macro environment that's challenging, but founders that are able

0:27:59.240 --> 0:28:02.160
<v Speaker 3>to be sort of counters already preparing. But we hear

0:28:02.240 --> 0:28:04.520
<v Speaker 3>more and more that there are a load of unicorns

0:28:04.560 --> 0:28:06.560
<v Speaker 3>or a load of high valuations that are going to

0:28:06.600 --> 0:28:10.040
<v Speaker 3>have to recalibrate. When is that reckoning going to happen?

0:28:10.080 --> 0:28:12.120
<v Speaker 3>It feels like keeps being pushed off and pushed off,

0:28:12.119 --> 0:28:15.240
<v Speaker 3>and special financing deals done in murkier corners.

0:28:15.920 --> 0:28:19.720
<v Speaker 11>One thing we track very closely is the IPO market.

0:28:19.960 --> 0:28:22.680
<v Speaker 11>That's a key barometer for the health of our business.

0:28:23.320 --> 0:28:26.159
<v Speaker 11>IVP has had over one hundred and thirty companies go

0:28:26.320 --> 0:28:30.639
<v Speaker 11>public over its history, but twenty twenty two and twenty

0:28:30.680 --> 0:28:34.040
<v Speaker 11>twenty three there have been less of those offerings. You

0:28:34.080 --> 0:28:38.480
<v Speaker 11>saw the recent offerings in Clavio, Instacart, and arm extremely

0:28:38.560 --> 0:28:40.520
<v Speaker 11>high quality companies going public.

0:28:40.920 --> 0:28:41.800
<v Speaker 4>And actually that's.

0:28:41.640 --> 0:28:45.000
<v Speaker 11>Giving some confidence to the portfolio companies that we have,

0:28:45.440 --> 0:28:47.880
<v Speaker 11>and three or four of those companies are already starting

0:28:47.920 --> 0:28:51.000
<v Speaker 11>to prepare their documents to go public in twenty twenty four.

0:28:51.440 --> 0:28:55.080
<v Speaker 11>So I think you could see more companies going flipping

0:28:55.160 --> 0:28:57.960
<v Speaker 11>from private to public, and that'd be a great thing

0:28:58.000 --> 0:28:59.040
<v Speaker 11>for venture overall.

0:28:59.560 --> 0:29:03.280
<v Speaker 3>Arm men public in America, That's true the frustration of

0:29:03.280 --> 0:29:07.040
<v Speaker 3>the London soop exchange. Will companies that you're backing, Pigment

0:29:07.080 --> 0:29:09.760
<v Speaker 3>in France and like choose to go in public in

0:29:09.800 --> 0:29:12.160
<v Speaker 3>their own European markets or will they always be attracted

0:29:12.160 --> 0:29:13.080
<v Speaker 3>to American liquidity.

0:29:14.320 --> 0:29:16.440
<v Speaker 11>If a company is going public right now, I think

0:29:16.440 --> 0:29:17.960
<v Speaker 11>the Nasdaq on a nice is.

0:29:17.960 --> 0:29:19.440
<v Speaker 4>The right place to go public.

0:29:19.480 --> 0:29:19.920
<v Speaker 7>They should.

0:29:20.040 --> 0:29:22.959
<v Speaker 11>The markets are deeper there, there's a more a deeper

0:29:23.040 --> 0:29:27.520
<v Speaker 11>understanding of technology and the value that technology can bring. However,

0:29:27.640 --> 0:29:29.440
<v Speaker 11>we are hopeful and we want to be part of

0:29:29.440 --> 0:29:32.560
<v Speaker 11>this change here in London. That know, more and more

0:29:32.560 --> 0:29:35.440
<v Speaker 11>companies will go public here in London and around Europe.

0:29:35.640 --> 0:29:38.240
<v Speaker 11>It's great for the ecosystem if you can keep the

0:29:38.320 --> 0:29:40.800
<v Speaker 11>listings here. We'd love to see reforms that help that

0:29:41.080 --> 0:29:42.080
<v Speaker 11>few more deliveries.

0:29:42.120 --> 0:29:44.800
<v Speaker 3>Like I was chatting with Willshoe yesterday, Alex Lam so

0:29:44.880 --> 0:29:47.640
<v Speaker 3>great to have some time with you of ivp femail

0:29:47.920 --> 0:29:50.280
<v Speaker 3>and we've got some interesting conversation coming from you.

0:29:51.200 --> 0:29:54.840
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, let's go from London, Planet Earth to Space. United

0:29:54.920 --> 0:29:58.680
<v Speaker 5>Launch Alliance is on track. I'm told to launch Vulcan

0:29:58.720 --> 0:30:02.080
<v Speaker 5>in December. It's high energy rocket that it hopes can

0:30:02.080 --> 0:30:06.479
<v Speaker 5>compete with Falcon Heavy SpaceX's heavy launch system. Tory Bruno,

0:30:06.520 --> 0:30:09.360
<v Speaker 5>who's the Ulaco, visited us in New York and we

0:30:09.440 --> 0:30:13.280
<v Speaker 5>talked about how reliant Ula has been on Jeff Bezos

0:30:13.320 --> 0:30:14.360
<v Speaker 5>and Blue Origin have a listen.

0:30:15.320 --> 0:30:17.560
<v Speaker 13>Well, it took a little bit longer to develop this

0:30:17.720 --> 0:30:21.760
<v Speaker 13>rocket engine. It is the largest engine of that fuel

0:30:21.840 --> 0:30:25.280
<v Speaker 13>type to be successfully put together, and that just took

0:30:25.320 --> 0:30:27.920
<v Speaker 13>a little while longer. Now that the engine is developed

0:30:27.920 --> 0:30:32.240
<v Speaker 13>and qualified, we love it. Great performance. It's going to

0:30:32.240 --> 0:30:35.160
<v Speaker 13>be an awesome workhorse for us in terms of the

0:30:35.280 --> 0:30:39.520
<v Speaker 13>Ukraine situation, we weren't really affected that would have affected

0:30:39.560 --> 0:30:43.040
<v Speaker 13>the retiring Atlas five with its RD one to eighty

0:30:43.160 --> 0:30:46.760
<v Speaker 13>rocket engine. But I had anticipated ahead of time not

0:30:47.000 --> 0:30:50.720
<v Speaker 13>that Ukraine would be invaded, but that the relationship with

0:30:50.840 --> 0:30:52.600
<v Speaker 13>Russia was on a downward trend.

0:30:53.000 --> 0:30:53.800
<v Speaker 4>And once our.

0:30:53.680 --> 0:30:58.040
<v Speaker 13>Future was clear, I ordered ahead and received all of

0:30:58.080 --> 0:31:00.160
<v Speaker 13>the RD one eighties I would ever need to fly

0:31:00.280 --> 0:31:02.760
<v Speaker 13>out atlyss Now I have them in a warehouse in

0:31:02.800 --> 0:31:06.320
<v Speaker 13>Alabama and have just been flying them as I need them.

0:31:07.520 --> 0:31:11.240
<v Speaker 5>Blue Origin is itself also going under some change, some

0:31:11.360 --> 0:31:14.640
<v Speaker 5>transitions and new leadership, but the kind of constant is

0:31:14.720 --> 0:31:18.360
<v Speaker 5>Jeff Bezos, and I wondered what your relationship with Jeff is.

0:31:18.400 --> 0:31:23.400
<v Speaker 13>Like, Oh, very constructive. You know, it's a teeming arrangement.

0:31:23.480 --> 0:31:27.960
<v Speaker 13>You know, your major suppliers are always really your strategic partners,

0:31:28.360 --> 0:31:32.360
<v Speaker 13>and that's especially true for us because our big suppliers

0:31:32.440 --> 0:31:36.600
<v Speaker 13>invest in our rocket and in their product along with us.

0:31:36.960 --> 0:31:38.000
<v Speaker 13>Jeff is no different.

0:31:38.080 --> 0:31:39.920
<v Speaker 4>I was speaking to him just a.

0:31:39.840 --> 0:31:42.880
<v Speaker 13>Few days ago as we were working together to help

0:31:42.960 --> 0:31:46.120
<v Speaker 13>them ramp up their production rate for our eventual needs,

0:31:46.680 --> 0:31:48.920
<v Speaker 13>and like I said, we love the engine and I

0:31:48.920 --> 0:31:50.560
<v Speaker 13>think we're going to have a bright future together.

0:31:51.840 --> 0:31:54.600
<v Speaker 4>That's interesting. Do you find Jeff to kind of be

0:31:54.720 --> 0:31:55.160
<v Speaker 4>hands on?

0:31:55.360 --> 0:31:57.360
<v Speaker 5>Is he somebody that you can phone and sort of

0:31:57.400 --> 0:32:01.480
<v Speaker 5>talk at a high level engine nearing basis with or

0:32:01.560 --> 0:32:04.160
<v Speaker 5>is he kind of more strategic in how he deals.

0:32:03.960 --> 0:32:04.520
<v Speaker 4>With you guys?

0:32:04.960 --> 0:32:08.960
<v Speaker 13>Well, I think he is a very strategic person obviously,

0:32:09.600 --> 0:32:12.040
<v Speaker 13>but I will tell you he's a very good engineer

0:32:12.440 --> 0:32:15.520
<v Speaker 13>and he is not afraid to dive down into the details.

0:32:16.240 --> 0:32:18.800
<v Speaker 13>You know, you might find it amusing that, you know,

0:32:18.840 --> 0:32:21.960
<v Speaker 13>we nerds get together and we love to talk about

0:32:22.400 --> 0:32:27.880
<v Speaker 13>propulsion technology, and I find Jeff very easy to discuss

0:32:27.920 --> 0:32:31.480
<v Speaker 13>those issues with. He's fast, he picks them up, and he's.

0:32:31.360 --> 0:32:32.040
<v Speaker 4>A good teammate.

0:32:32.080 --> 0:32:34.320
<v Speaker 13>He'll work with you to, you know, get through the

0:32:34.480 --> 0:32:39.320
<v Speaker 13>technical challenges of doing this sort of innovative in new work.

0:32:42.080 --> 0:32:45.840
<v Speaker 5>Talking rocket so self described nerd Tory Bruno U la Ceo,

0:32:45.960 --> 0:32:48.720
<v Speaker 5>Caroline ed you are.

0:32:48.640 --> 0:32:50.880
<v Speaker 3>A self described nerd, and I'm pretty sure that they

0:32:51.080 --> 0:32:53.680
<v Speaker 3>welcome you with open arms in those conversations. You'd love

0:32:53.720 --> 0:32:55.719
<v Speaker 3>to be in them, I'm sure. Meanwhile, then let's get

0:32:55.720 --> 0:32:58.080
<v Speaker 3>a check on these markets quickly, because nerding out on

0:32:58.120 --> 0:33:00.280
<v Speaker 3>what's happening in public markets not a particular great day

0:33:00.280 --> 0:33:02.320
<v Speaker 3>for the Nasdaq. We're off by one point eight percent

0:33:02.360 --> 0:33:04.040
<v Speaker 3>on big tech at the moment. You know why, it's

0:33:04.080 --> 0:33:06.120
<v Speaker 3>all about an earnings concern that we're not quite living

0:33:06.200 --> 0:33:08.080
<v Speaker 3>up to the hype when it comes to Alphabet for example.

0:33:08.320 --> 0:33:10.479
<v Speaker 3>Maybe that's dragging down the index more broadly five year

0:33:10.520 --> 0:33:12.560
<v Speaker 3>yield as well, probably putting paid to some of the

0:33:12.640 --> 0:33:14.840
<v Speaker 3>risk exuberance as the yields back up on the long end.

0:33:15.240 --> 0:33:17.000
<v Speaker 3>Interesting in chips, We're going to be having a deep

0:33:17.040 --> 0:33:18.560
<v Speaker 3>dive on chips that you're going to talk us through

0:33:18.680 --> 0:33:20.720
<v Speaker 3>in a minute, ED. Or by three percent on the

0:33:20.800 --> 0:33:23.680
<v Speaker 3>socks as we see TI Texas instruments not living up

0:33:23.680 --> 0:33:25.400
<v Speaker 3>to expectations on earnings. Move on to some of the

0:33:25.400 --> 0:33:29.080
<v Speaker 3>individual movers because interesting takes Microsoft course does do well

0:33:29.120 --> 0:33:31.760
<v Speaker 3>on its earnings and Microsoft outperforms, but I've also been

0:33:31.800 --> 0:33:34.800
<v Speaker 3>looking what's the world a PayPal? And overall look at

0:33:34.800 --> 0:33:37.840
<v Speaker 3>what happened to this European fintech player. Worldline off by

0:33:37.920 --> 0:33:40.600
<v Speaker 3>fifty nine percent as they call out a recession over

0:33:40.640 --> 0:33:41.080
<v Speaker 3>in Germany.

0:33:41.200 --> 0:33:41.280
<v Speaker 2>ED.

0:33:42.560 --> 0:33:44.280
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, we are going to be talking chips coming up

0:33:44.320 --> 0:33:45.880
<v Speaker 5>on the show. We're going to speak to the CEO

0:33:45.960 --> 0:33:50.200
<v Speaker 5>of Qualcom Cristiano Ammon as the company unveils it's super

0:33:50.320 --> 0:33:54.400
<v Speaker 5>Dragon X processor. This is a week about PCCPUS. This

0:33:54.840 --> 0:33:56.360
<v Speaker 5>is Bloomberg Technology.

0:34:01.960 --> 0:34:03.680
<v Speaker 4>Welcome to our Bloomberg.

0:34:03.280 --> 0:34:06.840
<v Speaker 5>TV and radio audience worldwide. Qualcom is stepping up its

0:34:06.840 --> 0:34:10.560
<v Speaker 5>efforts to break into the personal computer market by unveiling

0:34:10.600 --> 0:34:14.879
<v Speaker 5>a new laptop processor designed to outperform rival products from

0:34:14.920 --> 0:34:18.160
<v Speaker 5>Intel and Apple. Joining us to discuss the new snap

0:34:18.239 --> 0:34:22.279
<v Speaker 5>Dragon X is Christiano. I'mon Qualcom CEO and you join

0:34:22.400 --> 0:34:26.680
<v Speaker 5>us from Maui at the snap Dragon Summit. Christiano, The

0:34:26.760 --> 0:34:29.040
<v Speaker 5>question that I hear over and over again, be it

0:34:29.040 --> 0:34:32.040
<v Speaker 5>from your investors or be it from the millions of

0:34:32.040 --> 0:34:35.040
<v Speaker 5>snap Dragon users and fans around the world, is how

0:34:35.160 --> 0:34:39.560
<v Speaker 5>is this fundamentally going to change the operation and functioning

0:34:39.920 --> 0:34:41.160
<v Speaker 5>of a personal computer?

0:34:42.480 --> 0:34:42.640
<v Speaker 8>Oh?

0:34:42.719 --> 0:34:47.239
<v Speaker 2>Yes, that's the reason we're very excited about what we're doing.

0:34:47.400 --> 0:34:49.920
<v Speaker 2>And I think the endorsement we get from Microsoft, I

0:34:49.960 --> 0:34:53.160
<v Speaker 2>think the presence of Microsoft in our event as well.

0:34:53.200 --> 0:34:57.240
<v Speaker 2>We have been working to build the next generation computing

0:34:57.280 --> 0:35:01.359
<v Speaker 2>device for the Windows ecosystem. Come with where we see

0:35:01.400 --> 0:35:05.680
<v Speaker 2>the conversions between the mobile and the PC. It comes

0:35:05.719 --> 0:35:08.680
<v Speaker 2>at a time that users want more mobility and more

0:35:08.719 --> 0:35:12.800
<v Speaker 2>performance and the whole experience becomes an AI experience, and

0:35:12.840 --> 0:35:14.560
<v Speaker 2>I think that's what we did with the.

0:35:14.480 --> 0:35:17.560
<v Speaker 7>Snapdragon x Elite announcement.

0:35:18.520 --> 0:35:21.960
<v Speaker 2>First of all, we're incredibly proud and especially as we've

0:35:21.960 --> 0:35:24.880
<v Speaker 2>been talking the welcome is changing from a communications company

0:35:24.920 --> 0:35:26.440
<v Speaker 2>to a connected processor company.

0:35:26.719 --> 0:35:30.719
<v Speaker 7>We just unveiled the fastest CPU.

0:35:29.800 --> 0:35:33.720
<v Speaker 2>Of any mobile computing device, of any laptop in the world,

0:35:34.200 --> 0:35:36.799
<v Speaker 2>fastest CPU in terms of performance.

0:35:37.120 --> 0:35:39.040
<v Speaker 7>We have the device here, people, we test it.

0:35:39.400 --> 0:35:42.160
<v Speaker 2>That's going to allow for you to have a lot

0:35:42.239 --> 0:35:45.799
<v Speaker 2>more performance for day applications, but also to have a

0:35:45.880 --> 0:35:48.080
<v Speaker 2>lot of AI on the device.

0:35:49.080 --> 0:35:49.640
<v Speaker 4>Christiana.

0:35:49.760 --> 0:35:53.360
<v Speaker 5>We were submitted dozens of questions from our audience, including

0:35:53.440 --> 0:35:57.360
<v Speaker 5>snap Dragon insiders on Discord for example, and actually a

0:35:57.440 --> 0:36:02.360
<v Speaker 5>reoccurring question was how the latest generation CPU can handle

0:36:02.640 --> 0:36:06.560
<v Speaker 5>specific AI functions like Microsoft Copilot.

0:36:05.960 --> 0:36:09.319
<v Speaker 4>For example on device. Can you give us any insight.

0:36:09.040 --> 0:36:11.759
<v Speaker 7>That absolutely so.

0:36:11.840 --> 0:36:14.600
<v Speaker 2>What is interesting about what we've done with this processor

0:36:14.680 --> 0:36:18.600
<v Speaker 2>not only has the fastest CPU for your everyday tasks

0:36:18.640 --> 0:36:21.560
<v Speaker 2>and gaming and all of those things, but it has

0:36:21.600 --> 0:36:25.480
<v Speaker 2>a separate engine and that is a unique differentiation from pocom.

0:36:26.320 --> 0:36:27.960
<v Speaker 7>It's called the NPU.

0:36:28.200 --> 0:36:32.560
<v Speaker 2>And it's about allowing your AI to run pervasively and

0:36:32.840 --> 0:36:34.480
<v Speaker 2>always running on the device.

0:36:34.520 --> 0:36:37.680
<v Speaker 7>So the copilot will be always running on the device.

0:36:37.560 --> 0:36:41.319
<v Speaker 2>To assist you with every task. And the NPU is

0:36:41.360 --> 0:36:44.160
<v Speaker 2>the biggest that you can performance you can find in

0:36:44.200 --> 0:36:47.880
<v Speaker 2>the device. Just as an example, we can run large

0:36:48.080 --> 0:36:52.200
<v Speaker 2>models of thirteen billion parameters natively on the device, and

0:36:52.239 --> 0:36:55.239
<v Speaker 2>we show that we have been partnered with all the

0:36:55.560 --> 0:36:59.680
<v Speaker 2>major ecosystem investing on AI from Microsoft to Meta to

0:36:59.719 --> 0:37:02.360
<v Speaker 2>Google Go and many other companies and having all of

0:37:02.400 --> 0:37:04.960
<v Speaker 2>those models running natively on the device.

0:37:07.160 --> 0:37:11.960
<v Speaker 3>It's a fascinating moment in terms of competition. Cristiano as well,

0:37:12.000 --> 0:37:14.040
<v Speaker 3>it has been a couple of days ago reports in

0:37:14.160 --> 0:37:16.680
<v Speaker 3>Video is going to be challenging the space as well

0:37:16.680 --> 0:37:19.239
<v Speaker 3>with its own ARM based processes for PCs. You've got

0:37:19.280 --> 0:37:23.120
<v Speaker 3>Apple of course showing its prowess in the area. How

0:37:23.160 --> 0:37:25.279
<v Speaker 3>do you set yourself apart from what is going to

0:37:25.280 --> 0:37:29.280
<v Speaker 3>be a real rushed and PC area.

0:37:29.360 --> 0:37:32.840
<v Speaker 2>I actually think the announcements to happen, especially the Vida announcement,

0:37:32.960 --> 0:37:35.280
<v Speaker 2>is one of the best things that could have happened.

0:37:35.040 --> 0:37:36.200
<v Speaker 7>For our efforts in the PC.

0:37:36.400 --> 0:37:38.960
<v Speaker 2>We have been talking for a while since we embark

0:37:39.000 --> 0:37:43.000
<v Speaker 2>on this journey with Microsoft that the PC market is

0:37:43.080 --> 0:37:46.600
<v Speaker 2>moving to an ARMED compatible away from the x eighty

0:37:46.640 --> 0:37:49.240
<v Speaker 2>six into an ARM compatible instruction set.

0:37:49.400 --> 0:37:50.839
<v Speaker 7>The Nvidia announcement is.

0:37:50.840 --> 0:37:54.319
<v Speaker 2>Devalidation that that is the new market and that is

0:37:54.360 --> 0:37:57.120
<v Speaker 2>the new tam for welcoming. It comes at a perfect

0:37:57.160 --> 0:38:00.520
<v Speaker 2>time that we have been diversifying the company in looking

0:38:00.560 --> 0:38:04.920
<v Speaker 2>for new opportunities and in market for technology, and we

0:38:05.080 --> 0:38:09.280
<v Speaker 2>had started on this journey for at least the past

0:38:09.320 --> 0:38:11.440
<v Speaker 2>three to four years I think twenty four.

0:38:11.680 --> 0:38:14.560
<v Speaker 7>With the new Windows and I Windows AI that comes

0:38:14.560 --> 0:38:15.120
<v Speaker 7>to fruition.

0:38:15.239 --> 0:38:18.080
<v Speaker 2>It starts to be at the end of the twenty

0:38:18.160 --> 0:38:20.600
<v Speaker 2>twenty four material for Qualcom.

0:38:20.719 --> 0:38:22.400
<v Speaker 7>So we're really excited about that.

0:38:22.520 --> 0:38:25.600
<v Speaker 2>And we look at all those announcements and endorsement that

0:38:25.680 --> 0:38:28.120
<v Speaker 2>this whole p SEE ecosystem is moving to one and

0:38:28.200 --> 0:38:30.719
<v Speaker 2>we just developed the fastest ARMSCPU in the work.

0:38:32.640 --> 0:38:35.560
<v Speaker 3>We've got well announcement potentially as soon as next week

0:38:35.600 --> 0:38:39.000
<v Speaker 3>with Apple and three. When you've got a competitive but

0:38:39.040 --> 0:38:41.799
<v Speaker 3>a validated space, as you seem to be articulating, what

0:38:41.920 --> 0:38:44.880
<v Speaker 3>volumes do you anticipate in one for example.

0:38:45.160 --> 0:38:47.359
<v Speaker 7>Well, we're not making projections.

0:38:47.400 --> 0:38:49.839
<v Speaker 2>I think we have been very careful, especially because we

0:38:49.920 --> 0:38:51.759
<v Speaker 2>have this is a new market for us, so we

0:38:52.000 --> 0:38:54.800
<v Speaker 2>think of us as a new entrant, and if you

0:38:54.880 --> 0:38:58.319
<v Speaker 2>look at of the size of this market, I think

0:38:58.719 --> 0:39:01.560
<v Speaker 2>even if we get, you know, a smaller share, it's

0:39:01.560 --> 0:39:04.800
<v Speaker 2>a significant growth opportunity for Quodcam.

0:39:05.200 --> 0:39:07.360
<v Speaker 7>And we're excited about what we have developed.

0:39:07.400 --> 0:39:09.919
<v Speaker 2>The parts competitive and one thing we haven't mentioned about

0:39:09.920 --> 0:39:14.080
<v Speaker 2>it besides the performance, the power, which is our DNA

0:39:14.400 --> 0:39:17.239
<v Speaker 2>of making very power efficient devices for better in life

0:39:17.320 --> 0:39:21.400
<v Speaker 2>is incredible. We exceeded the performance of the fastest CPU

0:39:21.560 --> 0:39:23.719
<v Speaker 2>you can get from Intel for gaming, but we do

0:39:23.800 --> 0:39:26.920
<v Speaker 2>add a seventy percent less power as an example.

0:39:28.239 --> 0:39:31.439
<v Speaker 5>For our Bloomberg television and radio audiences worldwide. We're joined

0:39:31.440 --> 0:39:35.600
<v Speaker 5>by Quowcom CEO Christiano Amon from the snap Dragon conference

0:39:35.680 --> 0:39:38.919
<v Speaker 5>in Maui. You just mentioned power. The claim is that

0:39:39.400 --> 0:39:43.200
<v Speaker 5>it's about sixty eight percent less power than the comparable

0:39:43.280 --> 0:39:48.120
<v Speaker 5>Intel processor. A really fair question is the price premium

0:39:48.160 --> 0:39:51.160
<v Speaker 5>though that your latest chip has a lot of questions

0:39:51.200 --> 0:39:55.239
<v Speaker 5>from global end market users, was like, well, how much

0:39:55.280 --> 0:39:57.160
<v Speaker 5>am I going to have to pay over the nose

0:39:57.520 --> 0:40:01.520
<v Speaker 5>to have access to a consumer electronic device that carries

0:40:01.560 --> 0:40:05.200
<v Speaker 5>Snapdragon X relative to mid and lowers his smartphone or PC.

0:40:06.680 --> 0:40:09.120
<v Speaker 2>I'm going to answer that question two weeks. The first

0:40:09.160 --> 0:40:11.840
<v Speaker 2>one is we're going to enable with this product for

0:40:11.880 --> 0:40:16.360
<v Speaker 2>you to have a thin and light laptop that you

0:40:16.400 --> 0:40:19.239
<v Speaker 2>can have the performance that you would find otherwise on

0:40:19.280 --> 0:40:22.680
<v Speaker 2>a high end gaming device. So I think, if anything,

0:40:22.719 --> 0:40:26.560
<v Speaker 2>we're going to be democratizing technology and make that an

0:40:26.719 --> 0:40:30.160
<v Speaker 2>AI running on device available for more people. And that's

0:40:30.200 --> 0:40:33.120
<v Speaker 2>easy to understand giver mobile heritage. The other part of

0:40:33.160 --> 0:40:36.239
<v Speaker 2>that is actually we look at the Snapdragon Elite x

0:40:36.400 --> 0:40:41.560
<v Speaker 2>actally as a premium Snapdragon solution which improves dramatically or

0:40:41.680 --> 0:40:45.000
<v Speaker 2>mixed and it has great financial contribution as we look

0:40:45.080 --> 0:40:47.040
<v Speaker 2>at the margin of those products.

0:40:47.080 --> 0:40:48.880
<v Speaker 7>So I think it's a win win for both sides.

0:40:51.000 --> 0:40:53.680
<v Speaker 5>One thing that you guys do really well is look

0:40:53.719 --> 0:40:56.680
<v Speaker 5>at snap Dragon and this kind of fan base you have.

0:40:57.200 --> 0:40:59.240
<v Speaker 5>You know, everyone is raved about the h one hundred

0:40:59.280 --> 0:41:02.040
<v Speaker 5>GPU from all year, but I've noticed this kind of

0:41:02.719 --> 0:41:08.000
<v Speaker 5>deep reddit, forum, discussion, discord channels dedicated to snap Dragon.

0:41:08.320 --> 0:41:10.640
<v Speaker 5>How much do you take into account the feedback from

0:41:10.680 --> 0:41:13.520
<v Speaker 5>those community and your development of the products and what

0:41:13.560 --> 0:41:15.960
<v Speaker 5>it can actually do a lot.

0:41:16.120 --> 0:41:19.400
<v Speaker 2>I think one of the things we do well is

0:41:19.719 --> 0:41:21.799
<v Speaker 2>we have been nurching this community by the way that

0:41:21.880 --> 0:41:24.359
<v Speaker 2>both of you should be a Snapdragon insiders, you may

0:41:24.360 --> 0:41:27.440
<v Speaker 2>be missing out, and we've been nurching this community.

0:41:27.560 --> 0:41:32.600
<v Speaker 7>It's growing very fast, is over fourteen million, and those are.

0:41:32.600 --> 0:41:37.480
<v Speaker 2>Tech enthusiasts and they really love the technology, your advanced users,

0:41:37.640 --> 0:41:39.520
<v Speaker 2>and they give us a lot of insights and we

0:41:39.640 --> 0:41:40.920
<v Speaker 2>really like that relationship.

0:41:43.440 --> 0:41:46.240
<v Speaker 3>Oh ultimately, I mean I remember when we were first

0:41:46.280 --> 0:41:48.160
<v Speaker 3>coming and sitting down with you a couple of years ago,

0:41:48.200 --> 0:41:50.839
<v Speaker 3>it was all about supply chain issues when it came

0:41:50.880 --> 0:41:53.080
<v Speaker 3>to chips and how you navigated that. Is there any

0:41:53.120 --> 0:41:55.400
<v Speaker 3>sort of concern when you're thinking about unleashing these new,

0:41:55.440 --> 0:41:58.479
<v Speaker 3>more powerful PC processes now.

0:41:58.520 --> 0:42:01.400
<v Speaker 2>The supply chain I think crisis we had in some

0:42:01.440 --> 0:42:08.000
<v Speaker 2>microductor industries behind us, and we actually look into the

0:42:08.040 --> 0:42:12.840
<v Speaker 2>future as the most exciting thing now is how AI

0:42:13.200 --> 0:42:16.799
<v Speaker 2>is developing on device outside the data center, and it's

0:42:16.840 --> 0:42:19.920
<v Speaker 2>going to touch phones, going to touch PCs, is going

0:42:19.960 --> 0:42:22.920
<v Speaker 2>to touch cars, and we're looking maybe we have an

0:42:22.920 --> 0:42:25.359
<v Speaker 2>opportunity to create a whole new cycle and the.

0:42:25.360 --> 0:42:28.920
<v Speaker 7>Phone business and generate growth in the phone business as

0:42:28.960 --> 0:42:29.760
<v Speaker 7>well with AI.

0:42:32.719 --> 0:42:38.120
<v Speaker 5>Cristiano, I want to be sort of reflective for a minute.

0:42:38.200 --> 0:42:41.200
<v Speaker 5>You and many of your peers have tried to bring

0:42:41.400 --> 0:42:45.800
<v Speaker 5>on based CPUs to PCs for a decade. And fundamentally,

0:42:46.440 --> 0:42:49.920
<v Speaker 5>the personal computer has not changed for a decade. The

0:42:50.000 --> 0:42:53.719
<v Speaker 5>ecosystem around X seven eighty six, for example, Massive, It's

0:42:53.760 --> 0:42:56.600
<v Speaker 5>been tried, tested, Why now, why is this going to

0:42:56.600 --> 0:42:59.400
<v Speaker 5>be any different from what you've tried in the last

0:42:59.400 --> 0:42:59.920
<v Speaker 5>ten years?

0:43:00.920 --> 0:43:03.600
<v Speaker 2>Okay, let me let me bring you a different perspective

0:43:03.920 --> 0:43:07.120
<v Speaker 2>because there's a number of different vectors that are changing

0:43:07.160 --> 0:43:08.840
<v Speaker 2>the PC. And by the way, I you know, I

0:43:08.840 --> 0:43:11.200
<v Speaker 2>think we need to get We need to say Apple

0:43:11.239 --> 0:43:13.840
<v Speaker 2>did a very good job when they developed the M

0:43:14.000 --> 0:43:17.960
<v Speaker 2>series and creating a PC the base on a mobile

0:43:18.120 --> 0:43:21.880
<v Speaker 2>SEC architecture and uh, and that's one of the things

0:43:21.920 --> 0:43:23.920
<v Speaker 2>that we have been working to do the same and

0:43:23.960 --> 0:43:27.719
<v Speaker 2>create the best possible performance next generation PC for the

0:43:27.760 --> 0:43:28.680
<v Speaker 2>Windows ecosystem.

0:43:28.680 --> 0:43:29.720
<v Speaker 7>But the reason this is different.

0:43:30.200 --> 0:43:33.040
<v Speaker 2>First of all, I'm talking to you right now via

0:43:33.160 --> 0:43:36.680
<v Speaker 2>my PC, and PC became a communication device.

0:43:37.280 --> 0:43:37.680
<v Speaker 7>Uh.

0:43:38.040 --> 0:43:43.640
<v Speaker 2>We we took working uh with mobility to the next level.

0:43:43.760 --> 0:43:47.840
<v Speaker 2>And then the biggest piece is the fact that AI

0:43:48.160 --> 0:43:51.000
<v Speaker 2>is changing the user experience. If you think about Microsoft's

0:43:51.040 --> 0:43:54.400
<v Speaker 2>doing a co pilot, even with Microsoft said about the

0:43:55.160 --> 0:43:58.239
<v Speaker 2>price of the co pilot, which I actually think is

0:43:58.320 --> 0:44:01.839
<v Speaker 2>inexpensive if you think about the productivity increases that can

0:44:01.880 --> 0:44:04.080
<v Speaker 2>do for many enterprises.

0:44:04.840 --> 0:44:05.760
<v Speaker 7>Debt is changing.

0:44:05.800 --> 0:44:07.799
<v Speaker 2>It's going to be a different type of device and

0:44:07.840 --> 0:44:09.759
<v Speaker 2>that's what we're working on, and that's going to be

0:44:09.800 --> 0:44:12.680
<v Speaker 2>a bright new feature. We're going to bring a lot

0:44:12.719 --> 0:44:15.520
<v Speaker 2>of excitement and hopefully a new upgrade cycle for.

0:44:15.600 --> 0:44:18.120
<v Speaker 4>PC's well come.

0:44:18.200 --> 0:44:22.719
<v Speaker 5>CEO Christianamon from Snapdragon in MAUI, thank you for your time.

0:44:23.800 --> 0:44:27.600
<v Speaker 4>Thank you, Caroline.

0:44:27.800 --> 0:44:31.319
<v Speaker 5>You know, he's trying to outline a world where we're

0:44:31.400 --> 0:44:34.000
<v Speaker 5>using a generative AI tool on our phone or PC,

0:44:34.200 --> 0:44:36.319
<v Speaker 5>even in airplane mode, and you and I play with

0:44:36.360 --> 0:44:39.920
<v Speaker 5>all these tools, chat gpt bard on our desktops right

0:44:40.000 --> 0:44:44.680
<v Speaker 5>and is stable Internet? It's hard to imagine though, yeah

0:44:44.719 --> 0:44:45.000
<v Speaker 5>it is.

0:44:45.040 --> 0:44:47.839
<v Speaker 3>And ultimately many have been wondering when Apple really gets

0:44:47.880 --> 0:44:49.839
<v Speaker 3>into the sphere of AI that little bit more. Much

0:44:49.880 --> 0:44:52.360
<v Speaker 3>of it has been question about, of course, the privacy angle,

0:44:52.360 --> 0:44:54.480
<v Speaker 3>the fact that you do want it within your actual device,

0:44:54.520 --> 0:44:56.960
<v Speaker 3>and how much this is also intertwined with I just

0:44:56.960 --> 0:44:59.880
<v Speaker 3>think about sitting down the arm CEO around the IPO

0:45:00.000 --> 0:45:03.120
<v Speaker 3>they're listing and was all about moving into the world

0:45:03.120 --> 0:45:05.279
<v Speaker 3>of PCs, the fact that they are diversifying it's not

0:45:05.280 --> 0:45:06.400
<v Speaker 3>just about smartphone anymore.

0:45:06.520 --> 0:45:06.560
<v Speaker 13>Ed.

0:45:07.360 --> 0:45:09.400
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, and as a self described nerd, I've learned so

0:45:09.520 --> 0:45:12.040
<v Speaker 5>much this year about specific CPUs, and I know our

0:45:12.080 --> 0:45:14.200
<v Speaker 5>audience have so many questions that we got to there.

0:45:15.640 --> 0:45:17.840
<v Speaker 3>I'm glad that you were, maybe on this occasion not

0:45:17.840 --> 0:45:19.359
<v Speaker 3>going to have to do some weightlifting with them as

0:45:19.360 --> 0:45:21.280
<v Speaker 3>well as you did with the in video one. Meanwhile,

0:45:21.400 --> 0:45:23.520
