Our biggest ever concert. Totally mind-blowing. Thank you Ahmedabad ❤️ See you again tomorrow - and if you’re in India, please join us on Disney+ Hotstar from 7.45pm ✨
🚀 🚀 Sharing some big news🙏
Its been 1.3 yrs since I left Prove (US Unicorn tht acquired my startup). and its been 4+ years investing in startups - from angel/syndicate to Singapore Investment holdco to 77 Capital. Investing in startups has been a great journey but I felt a lacuna as an erstwhile operator. something was missing
Over the last 14 months I have been meeting folks and evaluating various models very closely. I wanted greater participation in value creation and solving problems. I would hv met 100 startup investors/VCs/Acclt/Venture Studios across US, ME, Sing and India - from small funds to $1B in AUM. I also spoke to many new founders and asked them what is missing for them in the ecosystem. Earlier this year I came across @maxpogu's research on Venture Studios and even spoke to him.
Result of this exercise was that I got fascinated by the company builder model - also known as Venture Studio. I spoke to and studied many of them deeply. A lot of them are very successful. Its just that the media doesn't talk about them much. Hexa has created 3 Billion $ cos, 40 cos worth $5 B; Kevin Ryan created Mongodb ($26B), Business Insider, Gilt. and so on. So finally I found something I love where I can do Investing + Building at the same time.
Announcing ⚡ 🚨 @gai_ventures_, a company builder I have launched with @kushal_prakash_ the best AI/Ml tech wiz I hv known for many years. He is Bits Pilani Computer sc., was an AI Researcher in TU Delft, was CTO of a Startup and has been building in GenAI space. I worked with him in the past but its truly great working with him very closely now for several months. Going deep in Gen AI tech stuff. Why AI space? chk comments
gAI ventures stands for Generative AI Ventures. Our first company is @FastTrackrAI

I will do a full post on our model later, but in short its an institutional co-founder which has the required technical+mkt expertise to build great cos. It is not an accelerator/incubator model - its the full 12 months of work: -1 to 1 journey from ideation, to building the product, mktg/sales and get customers.

Since I moved out of India 7 years ago, I thought I'd never live here again.
After spending a lot of time in the Bay, in May, I moved to Bangalore where I had never been to start @theresidency.
And it has been an immaculate SF-like experience in this city.
Here's why🧵:

With @elonmusk , feels like a bit of sour grapes in suing @OpenAI , not getting in early enough, not staying committed and now a rival effort. Like they say if you can't innovate, litigate and that's what we have here. Elon of old would would be building with us to hit the same goal
Welcome to Elastic Snackable Shorts 🎬. Our product experts are breaking down complex #generativeAI search concepts in this weekly video series.

Investors and CEOs: The bar for technology companies to go public on US exchanges today is $500M of annualized high margin (75%+ GM) revenue.
Klaviyo LTM revenue: $585M (80%+ GM)
Instacart LTM ads revenue: $740M (80%+ GM)
ARM LTM revenue: $2.68B (96% GM!)
If you have a company doing $100M in annual revenue, growing 30% YoY, it's 6+ years away from hitting that $500M threshold. And if it's "only" growing 20% YoY at $100M, it's 9 years from hitting this milestone.
Companies will need to stay patient for a VERY long period of time before tapping the public markets. Buckle down, execute, and figure out how to raise capital to get to the promised land, OR exit through M&A.
Now, the bar might come down over time, as bankers + investors try to get lower scale companies out (or companies might be forced to test the markets since private markets are closed), but these micro / sub-scale IPOs will be painful for everyone - employees, founders and investors alike.
Be realistic with yourself (and your LPs) about how many companies will really make it. Most will give up during this two decade march.
