Post by Berkeley SkyDeck

🚀Four days. Hundreds of conversations. One clear signal: the AI era isn't coming — it's here. Berkeley SkyDeck just wrapped HumanX in San Francisco, and we'reand we're leaving more energized than ever about the future of AI. Here are the themes that stuck: 🌐 From models to systems. The conversation has moved past "which model is best." The real competition is at the infrastructure layer — who owns the pipes, the context, and the governance. Enterprises aren't buying AI; they're redesigning how work gets done. ⚡ Move fast or get lapped. Across sessions, one thing was consistent: the window to establish category leadership is narrow. The founders who move with conviction now — not perfection — are the ones who will define the next wave of enterprise software. 🧬 Biology is the next frontier. The intersection of AI and life sciences kept surfacing. Simulation, drug discovery, personalized medicine — the feedback loops being built today could reshape human health in ways that make the last decade of biotech look like a warm-up. 💡 The application layer is increasing where the value is created. The infrastructure wars will commoditize. The real opportunity — for founders and investors alike — lies in vertical, workflow-specific applications built on powerful foundations. For the SkyDeck community: if you're building at the intersection of AI and enterprise, the market is listening. Get specific. Go deep. We’re grateful to partner with HumanX, which is hosting the conversations that matter. See you next year. #HumanX #AI #GenerativeAI #EnterpriseAI #VentureCapital #SanFrancisco #BerkeleySkydeck #Founders #Startups Sibyl Chen, Ben Fong, Ekin Günaysu
