🚀 LaunchPad #26: Trifold Phones and Jobs

I thought we just started making folding phones, now they're making three folds?

🗞️ Tech TLDR of the Week

• Half of xAI’s founding team has reportedly left, raising questions about talent churn and execution at Elon Musk’s AI venture.

• AI-generated music made its Olympic debut, as an ice dance duo skated to a track composed with AI tools.

• Rivian revealed how it redesigned the R2’s rear door manual release, showing how EV makers are obsessing over UX details.

• Amazon may launch a marketplace where media companies sell content directly to AI firms, opening a new front in the AI data economy.

• Vega raised $120M in Series B to help enterprises better detect and respond to cyber threats.

• Samsung’s TriFold phone is expected to cost $2,899 in the US, pushing premium hardware pricing even further.

Welcome to Issue #26 of LaunchPad. Every Tuesday, I share a curated list of Tech Ops roles like BizOps, RevOps, and Chief of Staff. Every Thursday, I drop a Spotlight deep dive on one standout company or role worth your attention. If you’re trying to break into tech or level up your career, you’re in the right place.
