With the current AI wave, will VC funding become less necessary and therefore create too much supply of dry powder in the market? Seems VC may mostly be needed in the future for extremely capital intensive startups (compute, clean tech energy, robotics, etc) and startups that need to scale extremely quickly. Is better to be a builder right now than an investor? Thoughts?

I think we are far away from that level of dislocation, but have heard many people going earlier/smaller/leaner. Many of the successful entrepreneurs I know are building new companies with very few people, and self funding with proceeds from prior sale.

I am currently a year from finishing my PhD and was looking at VC's as a career path because I like to do meta-analysis of different climate change techs. I networked with VCs and one of them was receptive but didn't have the budget currently for a full time hire. They said they'd be interested in working with me to do a research paper over the coming semester, and was wondering if I could leverage this into a full time offer?

Is a white paper with a VC going to be attractive on my CV?
