Believing that only AI startups that will make it big are ones that don't own the data or end user seems like an obviously flawed filter; for example, imagine if someone demand AirBNB or Uber owned the property they ultimately profited from.

AirBNB or Uber both have access to their user and have a proprietary data set.

Every investor's filter excludes some winners. But they have to focus on a segment or they'll be spread too thin.
