Vanessa Larco, a partner at Premise and former partner at NEA, believes 2026 will mark the long-awaited arrival of consumer AI. With years of experience investing in consumer and prosumer markets, Larco anticipates a significant change in how people spend their time online, driven by AI-powered "concierge-like" services.
