Finding Your Customers

@VCRebecca co-founded @CanvasVC and has deep positioning and go-to-market experience.

That's the focus of this discussion.

There are a lot of places to put AI to work. I just don't think fintech is the most exciting right now. Thanks to @technology for hearing me out on that and why we focus on businesses where AI is truly transformative, like @casetext with its AI legal asst. https://t.co/2Qxnfwi9Bp

As investors, we have a fiduciary duty to our limited partners . . . and I’m not quite sure how that’s happening when you’re not on the board. Great reporting by @MilesKruppa @FinancialTimes here. https://t.co/gjK3R2zzMP
