Chemistry’s Kristina Shen and Alt Capital’s Jack Altman bet on early stage companies in tech, including AI startups like Decagon and Sprig. Former a16z investor Shen's excitement in tech has shifted away from FAANG favorites toward a new cohort, MANGO: Microsoft, Anthropic, Nvidia, Google, DeepMind, and OpenAI. In an extended conversation with CNBC’s Kate Rooney, Shen and Altman discuss liquidity and valuations in the private market, macroeconomic impacts on innovation, and AI’s impact on consumer markets. Jack Altman, founder of Lattice and an investor in his own right, even offers his perspective on his brother Sam Altman’s success at OpenAI.
