Corporate Software Solutions – What’s the Right Lens?
There are many terms thrown out in the venture world like SaaS, workflow solutions, productivity tools, analytics suites, data orchestrations, and smart integrations. Here are 5 key factors that drive our scorecard when we evaluate a new venture in software.
Synthetic Data, Real Insights
Just as the internet only became practically usable for millions after the advent of modern web browsers and graphical user interfaces, many synthetic data tools and consumer-facing use cases may only see widespread adoption once an easy to use workflow solution is implemented.

And behind it all will be numerous artificial intelligence platforms.
Alignment and Collaboration Between Founders and Investors
A good venture partner should be a collaborative advisor and sounding board, helping founders sort through the various strategic paths as the company grows. And good founders should know how to leverage their VC’s knowledge and experience while still being a decisive leader.
