What do top investors really look for when backing AI startups?
summary
Fast, voting-driven panel that delivers concrete investor criteria: audience and VCs favor applied AI startups and consumer apps for near-term returns; biggest red flag is no proprietary data source—relying only on OpenAI APIs or open models; top due-diligence questions are do they own the data and can the product remain defensible once open-source models catch up; strength comes from exclusive data, deep platform integration or rapid model deployment, and sports bets/prediction analytics draw clear investor interest.
