5 Things
From Gideon Barker, founder of Customer IQ
Hi {{ First_name | reader}}
We welcome in December! And already things are beginning to look a little festive out there.
Your selection for this week:
12 days of Christmas OpenAI
As I type I am waiting for the first of 12 daily live streams from OpenAI (weekdays, 6pm UK time) to bring us "A bunch of new things, big and small". It's beginning to look a lot like...?!
The Sifted 250
Europe's fastest growing startups make it onto the Sifted 250 list. Based on the previous 3 years of growth, we're not really seeing AI make its mark (yet). Congrats to Yoto for being on the list (and for being a client!).
EU-Startups Summit 2025 Pitch Competition
Applications are now open for this pitch competition, which takes place in Malta in April 2025. The competition has a prize package valued at over €390k.
What is customer discovery?
My take on what customer discovery is and why it's such a crucial part of developing a startup business.
Quality scores for AI models
Stuck by which AI model to go for? Interesting analysis by Artificial Analysis that gives a quality score for a range of well known AI models (you can also click through to see a range of other scores).
Thanks for reading!
