    Lower tax would be a good start

      @witness1013 It incentivizes them to stay in their country and create their wealth in said country while knowing they will get to keep much more of what they create you muppet.

    Won’t happen under the joke of a government, they are turning us into a global laughing stock…

    All successive governments know how to do is raise taxes. Zero innovation, zero ideas on attracting capital investment to the country.

    The UK has a weak entrepreneurship culture, made worse by the British class system. It often feels much harder for someone with a strong idea but no elite background to move up and succeed. The US seems almost the opposite, more open to ambition, risk, and people building something from nothing.

    So my guess is, not anytime soon. The UK is still too risk averse and status driven to produce that kind of founder culture at scale.

    Most people in the UK care more about where someone’s degree came from or what their background is rather than the idea itself.

Hamilton Lane: AI’s Biggest Returns Have Been Private

Hamilton Lane Executive Co-Chairman Erik Hirsch says much of the wealth created by the AI boom has so far accrued in the private markets, as companies stay private longer and tap increasingly deep pools of capital.

Hamilton Lane Executive Co-Chairman Erik Hirsch says much of the wealth created by the AI boom has so far accrued in the private markets, as companies stay private longer and tap increasingly deep pools of capital. With exposure to OpenAI and Anthropic through its venture and growth relationships, Hirsch discusses how investors can access private AI companies through funds, secondaries and co-investments – and why even as some of AI’s biggest names head toward IPOs, going public is no longer the default path for most technology companies. He joins Ed Ludlow on “Bloomberg Tech.”

Anthropic plans to dedicate 5% of its shares to a public benefit fund, offering its own approach to sharing the potential wealth created by AI as concerns grow about AI-driven labor disruption. Bloomberg’s Mike Shepard discusses how the plan differs from proposals for a government-run fund – and from Elon Musk’s pledge to give every child in America a share of SpaceX – as technology leaders confront a broader question: who should benefit financially from the AI boom? He joins Ed Ludlow on “Bloomberg Tech.”
