Excited to share that we just closed our 2nd fund @nvpcap Fund II! Our thesis is straightforward, the next generation of defining companies will be vertical AI. If you’re a founder on a mission to transform physical industries with AI let’s talk. https://t.co/X86AsO46h3

Great stuff on the importance of a consistent investment process. Process > Short Term Results!
Today we have a generation of investors who have never worked through a financial macro crash. This episode released today with @mjmauboussin is gold. This too shall pass. So much wisdom here 🔥 👇 https://t.co/nR11iuk3Eb

I had three CEO conversations yesterday w/ Series A stage companies where hiring is still the biggest challenge. At the same time it feels like cost cutting initiatives are growing in tech (both public and private) and more folks are available - I wonder when it will normalize.

Insightful post from @seanforrestsims on selling into the industrial space - from a person who’s also worked in that space! The Blue Collar Tech Sales Playbook

Software as a service (SaaS) companies are typically attractive to investors because they have sticky, recurring revenue, scale easily, and often create space

Great question. We’ve seen more success in offline industries starting w/ vertical software as a wedge into product info and sales flow. But it may also be vertical dependent.
If you wanted to build an “all in one” platform for a given vertical, would you start by… 1) Building a marketplace to match supply/demand and then adding vertical software 2) Building vertical software and then layering on a marketplace

If I were looking to join a high-growth startup or tech company right now, I'd come to NYC. I spend hours every week combing through job postings, and there's an insanely high volume of quality roles here right now. This is particularly true if you want to work in-office.

Well said!
Before you ask: 1. Yes we are hiring. 2. No I am not looking to add your "service" or "outsource" at this time. 3. This is not a celebration or a moment of validation... this is a starting point. 4. The journey will be challenging, rewarding, & fun...you should join us!

The right partnership can be transformational to an early stage start-up. If you can help a much bigger company accelerate its growth, you may also find yourself growing much faster.
