Just in time for #Climateweek2024! Thank you to the The New York Times for spending some time with me and Pure Storage to discuss how the global hunger for #AI is driving a need for new ways of recording, storing and managing data. It is all going to come down to #efficiency and using better science to solve hard problems. "As the leaders of business in this new era, we have a responsibility to build A.I. in a way that is sustainable, responsible and scalable to support our future." #ESG #DataPlatform https://lnkd.in/gBBZ3Q7p

Congratulations to Brian Stevens and the Neural Magic team and its announcement to be acquired by Red Hat. There are a couple of things that stand out with this announcement. 1) Neural Magic has capabilities that lead to easier deployment of open-source LLMs, which will tie in nicely with both IBM Granite Models and OpenShift. It could be a very effective bridge between the two actually. 2) I'd be particularly interested in seeing something like Sparse ML (and more ML models in general) under the Granite umbrella. I still maintain that the near-term ML possibilities remain stronger than that of LLMs, which are still in the early stages. Anyway, I think Matt Hicks and the team made an interesting call here, and it's another step towards an end-to-end open source AI platform.

🚀 Unlocking Success: The Rubrik IPO Journey 🚀 "In the fast-paced world of venture capital, every investment tells a story of foresight and opportunity," remarks Asheem Chandna, a visionary at Greylock. He vividly recalls driving up to Rubrik's Palo Alto office one Friday evening in 2015, embarking on a journey that would redefine data management and recovery. 💼 Bipul Sinha, Rubrik's CEO, painted a compelling vision on a whiteboard, igniting Chandna's belief in the company's potential. Reflecting on that pivotal meeting, Chandna notes, "The old versus new architecture he presented was very compelling. Based on my knowledge of the sector, I knew it could be built into a large business." Fast forward to today, and Rubrik emerges as a publicly traded juggernaut, with Greylock holding a 13% stake valued at over $756 million. 📈💰 Yet, it wasn't merely Rubrik's market ambitions that captivated Chandna. "The longer I do what I do, the more I fundamentally believe that venture is a people business," he shares. This philosophy, forged through two decades of successful investments, emphasizes the importance of grit and self-awareness. Chandna seeks not just visionaries but individuals who embody resilience and drive—the very qualities exemplified by Sinha. Despite early challenges, Sinha's determination and ability to rally talent fueled Rubrik's ascent. 🔍 Now, as Rubrik charts its IPO amidst market uncertainties, its success underscores the power of perseverance and vision. "Rubrik has just under $800 million in ARR," Chandna emphasizes. "That’s larger than most companies that went public in the last many years. I think they just wanted to get on with it." As Chandna navigates the venture landscape, the spotlight shifts to Greylock's portfolio gems: Abnormal Security, Cato Networks, Discord, Figma, and Lyra Health. "Startup journeys are very hard, even for the most successful companies," he concludes. "I want people who won’t take ‘no’ for an answer." Their journeys, like Rubrik's, epitomize the spirit of innovation and tenacity. 🌐 ✅ Looking to raise capital for your #fund and increase the international pool of your LP #investors?   🤝 Need warm #LP introductions?   📝 Selling #secondaries to increase liquidity?   🧐 Looking for co-investments?   ▶ G+QUANT's link for inquiries and fund decks: https://lnkd.in/gjC_EuTE #VentureCapital #IPO #Investment #TechInnovation #SuccessStory 📈

"I think what the message we're really aiming to get across is that, ultimately, if you think of a platform, there's this element of platform effect. And the platform effect says that every individual consumer that comes on board to a platform receives incremental value from everybody else's use" Thank you Derek du Preez and diginomica for the opportunity to discuss Pure Storage's data platform strategy and what customers can expect at our upcoming #PureAccelerate conference. https://lnkd.in/gGreHn-6

Observability is now a hot problem for many companies--and #OpenTelemetry is gaining mindshare as a complete solution. I enjoyed David Cramer's frank take on why you shouldn't use OTEL for tracing. https://lnkd.in/gCGvGUak #OTEL #observability #analytics #opensource #sentry
