Hot in Enterprise IT/VC - What’s 🔥 in Enterprise IT/VC #415
What’s 🔥 in Enterprise IT/VC #415Old school enterprise sales + delivery needed to solve the last mile problem in the enterprise - yes, services needed!AI is the greatest platform shift that we may experience in a long time. That being said, it’s super easy to use an API and create your own AI-related startup. These 3 posts show you how many of these startups actually exist already. Click through each and read the comments. And if you want the Google Notebook LLM summary here it is.
Multitude of RAG vendors… Multitude of AI coding copilots Multitude of testing copilots So while there are a ton of thin wrapper type features masquerading as companies, what I can tell is that there are plenty of companies that may seem like the former but actually are much more durable in growth and opportunity. Writer is one such example. On the surface it may seem like another GenAI marketing content generator but underneath the hood there is so much more. This is Writer’s positioning from its $26M Series A annoucement in November of 2021, pre-Chat GPT - it was a writing assistant for enterprises, but it optimized for team and data security back then.
Here is its positioning 3 years later. That’s a far cry from an enterprise writing assistant! According to CNBC Writer is now rumored to be raising at a $1.9 billion valuation and launching a new model to compete with OpenAI” (CNBC)
In summary, on the surface most of these companies are likely just thin wrappers calling an API but some have much more beneath the hood! These latter companies understand something that many still do not - in order to deliver these AI solutions at scale in the enterprise, it is a completely different beast. That last mile is so important and is the difference between shelfware and huge ROI. And because of this, I also see a back to basics, old school sales is back Here’s Palantir’s CTO hammering this point - must watch 👇🏼 (start at minute 6:41 if you want the last point). The value being delivered is going back to the way it used to be so architect your solution from Inception to be able to deliver in any environment, cloud, hybrid, or on-prem with the underlying premise that Time to Value matters. And don’t be afraid to throw some bodies at the solution as that is that is what will be needed to make customer happy! As always, 🙏🏼 for reading and please share with your friends and colleagues.
