Alex Sacerdote, fundador da Whale Rock Capital Management, explica por que o boom da IA está apenas começando, detalhando seu framework de investimento baseado em curvas S, vantagens competitivas e poder de lucro subestimado. Ele compartilha sua tese de que a IA empresarial está menos de 1% penetrada, com Anthropic como sua maior convicção, e discute oportunidades em infraestrutura (chips, data centers) versus riscos no software tradicional.
