About
I'm Sistla Abhishek, Co-Founder at Cosmic Tech Labs. My career has spanned roles from test administration and product engineering to digital strategy and now entrepreneurship, where I focus on building deep tech solutions. I'm passionate about AI infrastructure, fundraising, media-tech, and blockchain, and I believe in creating ecosystems rather than just apps. I offer insights on AI strategy and a curated list of capital sources for founders, and I'm looking to connect with fellow founders, investors, creators, and builders in these spaces. I love sharing stories and celebrating ecosystem developments, especially in Hyderabad.

Opinions
- The biggest opportunity in AI is not in using the models but in the surrounding infrastructure, incentive alignment, and distribution.
- AI will not cause job losses for creators but will instead empower them, creating a larger gap between creators and non-creators.
- 'Intent comes before voice' for AI interfaces and advocates for 'ambient AI' that anticipates needs.
- Traditional SaaS pricing models, which relied on 'subscriber amnesia,' are obsolete in the AI-era where power users drive value.
- Advocates for building ecosystems, not just apps or features.
- 'Content calendars are a trap' for social media, favoring real-time market alignment.
