Summary from the TLDR Founders newsletter

Investors who poured $104.3 billion into AI startups in 2025 are now seeing lower returns upon exiting, with just $36 billion in cashouts reported. Despite this disparity, AI funding continues to surge, led by massive investments in companies like OpenAI and Scale AI. There are concerns of an "AI bubble" echo, with some major players like Microsoft pulling back, signaling caution around overvaluation risks.
