Earlier this month, Motley Fool Money hosted a live podcast recording and meetup for Motley Fool members. Host Mary Long discussed the differences between public markets and the venture scene, how money can ruin companies, and Tesla’s AI ambitions with analysts Alicia Alfiere and Tim Beyers and engineering manager Tim White. The full episodes can be found on The Motley Fool’s podcast center. The live member event focused on the state of tech investing, with a debate on whether tech investing is dead, prompted by the recent rise of stock indexes.

This event also highlighted the need for tech companies to adapt and adjust their strategy to ensure long-term success.
