Let’s discuss: Insight Partners' Managing Director Deven Parekh and Mansueto Ventures’ Stephanie Mehta discussed the evolution of software and the broader tech landscape at the Primary Venture Partners NYC Summit earlier today. The best businesses are able to scale — with stability at every step — into mature software companies that balance growth with efficiency. Thanks to the large concentration of financial and tech talent and global proximity to other major tech hubs, NYC is a natural home for these mature businesses. Enter “ScaleUp mode” 🚀 While everyone is talking about founder mode versus manager mode, we believe that great founders can and should deploy both modes to go from startup to ScaleUp and seek a successful exit. Perhaps nowhere is this more possible than NYC — Insight’s 60+ NYC-based portfolio companies would agree. What do you think: Does NYC have an edge?

VC might be on the road to recovery—but staffing is not source: https://lnkd.in/eJw4ZAn5 PitchBook Andrew Woodman ⚫ VC Investor Headcount Lags Market Recovery: Despite the broader market recovery, the staffing levels of venture capital (VC) firms have not kept pace. ⚫ Slow Hiring Trends: VC firms have been slow in ramping up their hiring compared to the rebound seen in deal-making activity and fundraising. ⚫ Impact of Remote Work: The shift towards remote work has influenced hiring decisions, with some firms taking longer to adapt their hiring strategies post-pandemic. #VentureCapital #Investing #Fintech #Startup #AI

“Talent is equally distributed but opportunity is not.”    In a recent WE@HH session (WE at Hearst Health), Shashi Srikantan shared how Level Up Ventures invests in untapped talent to build a portfolio that directly reflects their mission to close the racial wealth gap—All of their portfolio companies are led by Black or Latino founders/CEOs and 50% are led by female CEOs. Leaders from two of these companies joined Hearst Health colleagues to share their entrepreneurial journeys and discuss how they're using #AI to deliver novel solutions:   ▪ ConnectCareHero helps healthcare partners (such as senior living communities) keep older adults engaged through AI-powered software that provides culturally relevant content and programming, including health and fitness activities. ▪ Sunthetics is using AI and small data to create a "chemical GPS" that guides scientists by suggesting the right experiments to speed #innovation, with the potential to enable 32X faster product development while reducing waste and emissions up to 97%.   Thanks to founders Osvaldo Montelongo, Tornu Ngwayah, Bob Lee III, Daniela Blanco and everyone who joined! We're happy to highlight this amazing work and look forward to supporting connections that help distribute opportunity more equally.   ▶ Denielle G. deWynter and Cori Godeke founded WE@HH in 2020. It is a community for networking, support and development, ensuring we have a culture that inspires all to develop leadership abilities, seize growth opportunities and increase knowledge of Hearst Health and Hearst.   Watch the video to learn more about Level Up Ventures ...   #VentureWithPurpose #EmpoweringEntrepreneurs

System-3's founder and CEO, Elan Pratzer, had the privilege of speaking at Hunt Scanlon Media's Private Equity Operating Partner Talent Forum. Elan spoke on a panel titled "How to Achieve the Best Hiring Outcomes Through Talent Assessment." It was an incredible opportunity to learn from and connect with top leaders from Private Equity, Executive Search, and HR.   💡 A key takeaway from the conference is the overwhelming evidence of the importance of good human capital decisions for private equity firms. A talent playbook powered by objective data can significantly impact the results of portfolio companies.   ⚡ There is huge potential for private equity firms that create synergy between sound people processes and technology. It is also clear that technology should augment, not replace, human decisions. Embedding objective data systematically is a crucial lever for enhancing talent decisions and overall company performance.   🙏 A big thank you to the Hunt Scanlon team, Christopher Hunt, and Scott A. Scanlon for organizing and fellow panelists: Nathaniel Schiffer, Keith Giarman, Brad Isbell, John Knapp and Steven Berman.
