Gianluca Dettori, Chairman, Primo Ventures, Faculty Lead – AI Investment Landscape
About this AI Insight
Artificial Intelligence is creating unprecedented opportunities for innovation, but also raising new questions about sustainable competitive advantage. In a market where technologies can be rapidly replicated and business models quickly imitated, traditional barriers to entry are becoming weaker.
Drawing on his experience as a venture capitalist, Gianluca Dettori explores how AI is reshaping startup ecosystems, investment decisions, company valuations, and organizational structures. He argues that in many cases, speed has become the only sustainable moat: the ability to move faster, learn faster, and capture markets before competitors.
The paper also examines the emergence of agentic organizations, the productivity paradox generated by AI, and the leadership capabilities required to guide organizations through this transformation.
