🌴 𝐀𝐭𝐭𝐞𝐧𝐝𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐁𝐨𝐥𝐝𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐫𝐭 𝐀𝐆𝐌 𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐬 𝐰𝐞𝐞𝐤 𝐢𝐧 𝐌𝐢𝐚𝐦𝐢 𝐰𝐚𝐬 𝐚 𝐠𝐚𝐦𝐞-𝐜𝐡𝐚𝐧𝐠𝐞𝐫. The energy, the insights, the #AI learnings and the founders—it was all incredible. Hearing from companies like Clay, CrewAI, Waldo, Noded Ai, and Kustomer left me inspired and deeply focused on what it takes to build and scale a true AI application company successfully. Here’s what really stood out: → GTM focus is everything → Nailing your ICP (and early focus/use cases) drives meaningful growth → Hiring the right talent is the ultimate differentiator And here’s the reality: → Founders who align these elements early win → Talent is the multiplier for every great strategy → The best companies don’t just build—they execute with precision boldstart ventures’s portfolio is a testament to this focus and they provide real meaningful value from Day 1 (or even before) for their companies. Many say it - they simply have the highest say-do ratio I have ever seen. Why? How? You hear it from their companies, investors and partners. I’m leaving this week more energized than ever to help founders hone these critical areas. P.S. - What’s your biggest takeaway from connecting with founders? #Startups #GTM #ICP #HiringForGrowth #FounderFocus #BoldstartVC #MiamiTech #ScalingSuccess

AI is getting SaaSy out there! 🚀 Indian-founded SaaS startups have witnessed impressive growth in recent years. While the digital shift was significant, Artificial Intelligence is now taking center stage. The SaaSBoomi Annual event, held in March 2024, gathered a powerhouse of 1,500 startup founders, investors, industry leaders, and even contributors from the banking ecosystem. Unsurprisingly, AI stole the spotlight! A groundbreaking study by McKinsey & Company, in collaboration with SaaSBoomi, revealed some eye-opening insights into AI's transformative impact on the SaaS landscape. Anticipating this monumental shift, GetVantage has launched the SaaS Accelerator Fund II, with a whopping corpus of INR 250 Cr, for SaaS founders ready to embrace the AI revolution.

It’s feeling like 2021 again with AI startups in high demand, raising back-to-back funding rounds at astonishing valuations. 🚀 Sapphire Ventures President, Partner, and Co-Founder Jai Das shared with Business Insider his advice for founders in this position: take the capital if you can, because you never know what might happen in the future, but spend it wisely. Overcapitalization can lead to complacency and reckless spending, especially with overhiring, which can derail long-term growth. Despite a challenging market, AI companies with solid business models are standing out. For example, Glean, a recent Sapphire Ventures investment, more than doubled its valuation this year, raising $460M in just a few months—a testament to the power of delivering real value.
