The author is the founder of StarCap and holds, or intends to hold, positions in private companies across the layers described in Part IV, including in the compute platform, power, mobility and network layers. Several companies discussed favourably in this book are held. Several companies discussed unfavourably are not. This book is not investment advice, does not constitute an offer of any security, and is written for readers who intend to reach their own conclusions. Where the author’s fund research has been used in place of an independent source, this is stated in the source notes. Valuations, funding rounds and contract values in this sector change quarterly and every such figure printed here should be assumed out of date.
