E402: $92B Coatue: Where the Value in AI Will Accrue
About this episode
Lucas Swisher discusses the future of AI investments and the importance of understanding durable advantages in the AI stack.
Everyone is asking which AI company will win. Lucas Swisher thinks investors are asking the wrong question. The biggest opportunities won't necessarily come from picking a single model or application. They'll come from understanding where durable advantages are created across the AI stack. Drawing on Coatue's investments in companies like OpenAI, Anthropic, Databricks, and SpaceX, Lucas explains why talent compounds, why data infrastructure may outlast today's application boom, why companies become harder—not easier—to disrupt as they scale, and how AI is reshaping the economics of software, semiconductors, and enterprise technology.
