The Drop 2025 - Ripple summaries

Vibe Coding and AI Workflows for Non-Technical VCs


The Ripple brought together VCs to explore how AI can supercharge their work.

Key takeaways include:

  • AI is a powerful tool for efficiency, but not a magic solution.

  • Start small - build personal tools before tackling complex systems.

  • Workflow automation and custom GPTs are great entry points.

  • Security remains a major concern when implementing AI.

The group discovered AI isn't about replacing humans, but enhancing their capabilities. They're excited about using AI for tasks like startup screening, legal research, and data analysis - but emphasized the need for human oversight.

The core message? Experiment boldly, share learnings (including failures), and continuously adapt. AI tools are improving rapidly, so VCs who learn to leverage them strategically will gain a competitive edge. The session was less about replacing jobs and more about becoming smarter, faster investors.
