Tony Yu posted thisIt has been a phenomenal experience at data.ai (fka App Annie) where I had the opportunity to work with some of the best people. I feel absolutely blessed and I have to say Thank You to all my teammates, colleagues, partners, and amazing customers! This week it was announced that data.ai was acquired by Sensor Tower and as a result, my role has come to an end. Three things I will miss most: 1. My teammates and colleagues. 2. The immense collaboration among team members. I know every company collaborates, but the amount of knowledge sharing at data.ai was absolutely boundless and meteoric! 3. Going full speed, while forecasting 6-9 months ahead, quarter after quarter after quarter - with the entire team in-sync was exhilarating. As I embark on this transition, I'm reaching out to my network and friends to keep me in mind for opportunities in tech sales and fundraising on the buy-side / investment firms. 🚀 In the short term, with some free time, happy to provide pro-bono help with: 1. Creating personalized lead generation templates, sequences, and call scripts. 2. Creating go-to-market strategy, target market, and buyer personas for equity funds or startups. 3. Outlining sales process to hedge funds and investment firms. Thank you again, and I look forward to what comes next!

Tony Yu shared thisHey guys, Luckin Coffee (LK US) - Shares plunge 75% in early trading. We hosted a flash 15 minute webcast this morning with 3 analysts. You can listen to the recording via the link below as well. Word is COO Jian Liu and several employees engaged in certain misconduct, including fabricating certain transactions starting 2Q last year. Preliminary internal investigation indicates sales associated with the fabricated transactions from 2Q to 4Q amount to about $2.2 billion RMB or $310 million USD. Certain costs and expenses were also substantially inflated by fabricated transactions during this period.Tony Yu shared thisSmartkarma is hosting a flash webinar with a panel of Independent Insight Providers who covered Luckin Coffee (LK US) closely going into and post the IPO, including the recent capital raise.

Tony Yu liked thisTony Yu liked thisStartups: You are currently the "Ghost in the AI Machine." You just published a 2,000-word breakdown of your category. It’s brilliant. It’s original. It’s ranking. And right now, it is likely helping a buyer choose your biggest competitor. Run this 30-second test to see if you’re a victim: 1: Open Perplexity. 2: Ask: "What are the best [Your Category] tools for [Your Specific Use Case]?" 3: Look at the answer. Then look at the citations. Are you the Source (linked in the footnotes) or the Answer (named in the text)? If you see your URL in the citations but your brand name isn't in the recommendation, you’ve hit the Ghost Citation trap. AI models have two distinct memories: A Parametric Memory (what they "know" from training) and a RAG Library (what they just found on the live web). When an AI "thinks," it often decides which brands to recommend from its training data before it even runs a web search to find facts. If you launched after the training cutoff, the model doesn't "know" you exist. So it pulls the facts from your latest blog post (RAG), but gives the credit to the "Legacy" brand it remembers from 2023. Recent large-scale analyses of AI responses indicate a dramatic gap—a 5x visibility cliff. When an AI model already knows a brand, it has a high propensity to cite them. But when the model doesn't recognize the brand name, that citation rate collapses. You are providing the "fuel," but your competitor is getting the "destination." The model needs to see "Entity Consensus." It needs to see other people talking about you across the "Trusted Web"—on platforms like Reddit, G2, or respected industry press. When the AI sees your name and your category linked across multiple authoritative sources, you stop being a footnote. The Hard Truth: If you aren't building "Entity Consensus" on third-party platforms today, you’re just paying your team to write your competitor’s sales pitch. Stop optimizing for keywords. Start optimizing for recognition. #AEO #AnswerEngineOptimization #AImarketing #Startups #GEO #SEO

Huge thanks to Neudata for putting together such a strong event! It was amazing to catch up with old colleagues, meet new people, and exchange ideas along the way! And especially cool to see the level of buzz around AppMagic, especially as it was our first time attending. Plenty of good conversations, and definitely a few to continue. If we didn’t get a chance to connect, feel free to reach out, I’m always up for a good chat!

Tony Yu liked thisTony Yu liked thisFound Dad's resume from 45 years ago while going through mom's stuff. Dad ended up in Utah from Taiwan without knowing what a Mormon was since he was just mailing his application to random grad schools in the US. Funny to think of a world where people would use a typewriter to type out their resume. It was also before copying machines were readily available, so I guess he had to just type it up over and over again.

Tony Yu liked thisTony Yu liked thisI have written extensively about the limitations to what AI can produce in terms of real business outputs. The technology IS revolutionary and every bit as incredible as it is hyped to be. The problem is that the product of the technology has limitations due to the types of outputs we, as humans, need and because of the way human brains interact with technological outputs. My writing has focused on the differences between machine outputs and human outputs and why AI has limitations in terms of how humans consume it. This article takes a more technical, and in my opinion, brilliant look at uncertainty in the real world and how different types of uncertainty in the natural world will limit AI's ability to progress in the future. It may or may not prove to be true, but it is well worth a read for those who are thinking about limits to AI and it's applications.
