Rob Biederman from Asymmetric Capital Partners shares an optimistic outlook for 2025, anticipating distinct winners and losers in the tech landscape. He believes valuable AI companies will thrive while hype-driven firms struggle. Vertical integration and buy-and-build strategies are expected to gain traction, especially in sectors needing technology enhancement. Limited partners are shifting towards emerging managers focused on returns, as overfunded growth companies face challenges. Biederman foresees a market correction for the excesses of 2020-2021, with a return to rational investment practices. He emphasizes the importance of fostering innovation over hype, advocating for a more artisanal approach in venture capital.
