NVIDIA lost almost 600B in a single day after Chinese DeepSeek startup proved that AI can be way more efficient and doesn't require such a growth in compute power.
It's the highest ever loss of stock prices in history. The company is no longer on the first place, so Apple is leading again.

One of the biggest investors in the game industry shared his thoughts about red flags while pitching:
1. No Sound Validation Of A Problem And Market Potential: A common mistake founders make is rushing to present their solution without clearly defining the problem first.
2. Fuzzy Financials And Unrealistic Projections: Even with a compelling vision, inadequate financial planning is a deal-breaker. A seed deck showing wild projections with no clear path to get there doesn't induce trust.
3. Founding Team With No Skin In The Game And Little Expertise: Investors aren't just hunting for ideas; they are searching for people.

4. Cluttered, Overloaded Deck: Overwhelming investors with too much information is another common pitfall. Slides with a wall of dense text, complex charts or excessive jargon almost immediately lose interest, no matter how good the product is. A pitch deck is a high-level overview, not an exhaustive document.

Not buying it!
- Revenue is okay
- Profits are in decline
- They fired even more people
But none of it was worth such a delay minutes before the originally planned announcement.
