I am looking for a list of possibles. Start-ups that didn't IPO and don't contain "AI" as either part of their business plan or added to it later. And if so, where would I look for potentials? Are their teams that want to stay with their start-ups, but fear being shut down and where do I find them? If I'm asking the wrong question, then please point out how I may acquire the info I seek...
Every single company I've seen was reporting all green trends right until the moment they shut down. Maybe a half-hearted "it is slower than quarter x, but we do very well". No-one will give you this C-level info on HN. You have to network really well to know these in advance
