I really enjoyed this insightful episode featuring Cresta's board member Saam Motamedi on one of my favorite podcasts, 20VC by Harry Stebbings. Saam highlighted one compelling point: now is an excellent time to invest and build new SaaS businesses. For the first time in nearly a decade, there is an opportunity to build new horizontal system of record companies. The paradigm shift in AI has fundamentally changed some of the key assumptions around data models, delivery and user interfaces. Check it out here: https://lnkd.in/ggBeUS5v
20VC: Why We Are in a Bubble & Now is Frothier Than 2021 | Why $1M ARR is a BS Milestone for Series A | Why Seed Pricing is Rational & Large Seed Rounds Have Less Risk | Why Many AI Apps Have BS Revenue & Are Not Sustainable with Saam Motamedi @ Greylock - 20VC

I’m extremely proud to announce VoriOS: the 1st AI-powered POS and inventory system built for ambitious grocery stores. From silo to shelf to spoon, the $1T domestic grocery industry will never be the same. Independent supermarkets are the backbone of a dynamic American economy. They are responsible for 1.2% of US GDP and nourish communities everywhere. But everything has changed since COVID. Macro forces like inflation, increasing competition, labor shortages, and chaotic supply chains have made it harder for grocers to do business. Today, Vori changes all of that. Vori gives supermarkets more profitability, more efficiency, more freedom. Listen to what America’s grocers have to say below.
The grocery renaissance is in motion. Introducing VoriOS. Grocers coast to coast have realized increased profits, labor savings, and genuine delight. See for yourself. For more on Vori: https://hubs.li/Q02DChZ_0

We're hosting these monthly at the Greylock SF office - if you're an AI leader looking to discuss LLM evals please DM me.

Greylock partner Jerry Chen and LlamaIndex co-founder & CEO Jerry Liu joined Benjamin Popper and Eira Long May on the Stack Overflow podcast to talk all things #developers and #LLMs. "We care a lot about developers. Our entire belief is that a lot of developers are going to be leading the charge of enabling and spreading gen AI adoptions throughout the enterprise." - Jerry Liu "The way we think about programming is going to be very different because it's going to become less deterministic and more probabilistic with LLMs." - Jerry Chen Have a listen! https://lnkd.in/g2FRUn8M

Co-Founder / CEO at FERMÀT - improve marketing outcomes w landing experiences unique to every campaign
If you are just about to start a company, I can't think of a better partner than Saam Motamedi and this podcast with Harry Stebbings highlights why. Some of the things he shares: - He worries about the founder and market, not the price of the round. If you are ambitious, and have the right skills / experiences to build a massive company, he will make sure you are resourced to get that company started. - He knows how to help you think about future exceptional investors. He has done this for me, and his approach and instincts are right. - He will spend the time to make sure you are set up for success in the early days. It's a time commitment with him more than a $ commitment, which is very different than other seed funds that write many checks, and see what hits. You should listen, and even if you don't partner with him, at least know what to push your seed investors on.

In a recent interview with Greylock, Pranay Kapadia, Notable's CEO and Co-Founder, shared details of Notable's founding and our bold vision for the future. Born from the phrase "not able," Notable has proved what can be achieved with sheer grit and a vision for change. From automating chart review to enhancing patient care with AI, we're redefining what's possible for healthcare efficiency. Read the full interview here: https://buff.ly/4cV5OUk
