Midjourney is one my favorite AI image generators —and I've used a lot of them. It arguably produces the best results and would be my overall top pick for basically anyone if using it wasn't so…weird. See, unlike Stable Diffusion and DALL·E 2 , you can't install Midjourney on your own computer or use a nicely designed web app. The only way to access it is through Discord.

When it comes to measuring SaaS success, companies look at a number of key metrics, including annual recurring revenue (ARR) and net revenue retention (NRR).

I'm not a coder. I couldn't tell you the difference between JavaScript and Python if my life depended on it. I wouldn't know a command if it hit me in the face. So, for obvious reasons, I'm always a little weary of testing out tools that require even basic SDK knowledge. That's why, at first, I wasn't sure if I had the technical savvy to try out Leap AI , a nifty image-generation tool that works on JavaScript and that folks can integrate into their own apps.

Things could’ve been worse, I guess. Companies with all female-founding teams raised about $800 million, or 2.1%, out of the estimated $37 billion invested in U.S. startups in Q1 2023, according to PitchBook. In dollar terms, that is a 53% year-over-year decline from the $1.7 billion all-female founding teams raised in Q1 2022. The decline isn’t a surprise.

But roboticists are a pragmatic bunch, offering projects for adoption more than a decade into the future. There were times in the intervening years when it felt like those goal posts were being pushed back.
