Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

VivaTech 2026: From startup to French unicorn, Pigment harnesses AI potential
Q: Concretely, what kind of decisions is this? What kind of things are firms asking?
Firms want to understand the impact of growth or changes on margins, P&L, forecasts, sales, demand, and supply chains, all in one integrated environment to stay competitive, guided by AI-powered analysis and end-to-end workflows.
Will the stars align for SpaceX's IPO?
Q: What does the market need to see to justify such a leap in valuation for SpaceX, given the current structure and profits?
The guest highlights that investors would need clear evidence of sustained profitability across multiple ventures, a reasonable timetable for mass-market space infrastructure development, and a valuation framework that can reconcile the high growth narrative with realistic financial metrics.
Will the stars align for SpaceX's IPO?
Q: Let's start off by asking what's your take on all this SpaceX hype? Is it really going to be the biggest IPO ever?
Igor Pejic asserts that while the IPO could be the largest ever and push the space-tech narrative forward, the valuation is difficult to justify with traditional metrics. He emphasizes the need to compare with price-to-sales ratios and to acknowledge the high risk, long timelines, and dependency on Elon Musk's leadership.
VivaTech 2026: Can AI become the next beauty adviser? L'Oréal thinks so
Q: Why OpenAI, and what does the partnership enable?
OpenAI brings a large, active user base and aligns with our broader AI roadmap, enabling joint efforts across materials, research, marketing, and consumer engagement. It complements our relationships with NVIDIA, IBM, Google, Amazon, and Alibaba to advance AI-powered commerce and discovery.
VivaTech 2026: Can AI become the next beauty adviser? L'Oréal thinks so
Q: Is this the result of genuine consumer demand?
