Luke Lango hosted a webinar titled **The 2026 AI Megadeal Event** on October 3, 2023, where he presented his **PPT framework**—People, Product, Timing—for evaluating private AI companies before they go public. This method aims to help investors identify promising startups by focusing on exceptional founders, problem-solving products, and favorable market timing.
Lango highlighted the historical significance of Georges Doriot, a pioneer in venture capital, who invested $70,000 in Digital Equipment Corp. in 1957, which ultimately grew to over $350 million. Lango emphasized that a disciplined evaluation process is crucial for distinguishing successful investments from the thousands that fail.
Today, thanks to changes in securities laws, individual investors have unprecedented access to early-stage investment opportunities once exclusive to venture capitalists. Lango’s framework provides a structured approach to make better investment decisions by assessing the quality of leadership, the necessity of products, and the timing of market entries.
