Welcome to Insights by Fusion42
Beyond Consensus News, Views and Data for Maverick Founders and Investors
Insights by Fusion42 is a weekly signal for founders, framers, and funders who want to get it done – not drown in noise.
We share the frameworks, financials, GTM plays, and AI shifts that actually move startups forward.
Hi, I’m Derek – founder of Fusion42 and Arthur, the AI-native startup OS for founders who want to get it done.
Insights by Fusion42 is where I share what actually works in the real world of building and backing startups: the wins, the misses, and the frameworks we use to help founders move faster with less drama.
Building a startup is hard. Raising capital is harder. Doing both while the ground is shifting under your feet thanks to AI is… a lot. My job here is to cut through the noise and give you the sharp end of the signal – so you can make better decisions, ship more, and waste less time on theatre.
You’ll see a mix of:
• Funding & investor intel – who’s raising, who’s deploying, and what actually matters for founders.
• GTM, AI & resilience frameworks – practical tools you can plug straight into your startup.
• Deep dives & masterclass notes – distilled from our workshops, office hours, and founder sessions.
• Arthur build-in-public updates – how we’re turning founder chaos into a startup OS.
Around Fusion42 there’s a wider crew of founders, operators, and investors who drop in as “channel champs” – exited founders, capital allocators, and specialists who’ve taken real punches and still show up to share what they’ve learned.
If you want consensus takes and feel-good fluff, this isn’t it. If you want honest signal, hard questions, and tools you can actually use, you’re in the right place.

For the ❤️ of startups
