Despite a challenging H1, enterprise tech spending is "not dead yet," according to our latest State of Enterprise Tech Spending Survey.

In fact, we are seeing considerable enthusiasm from buyers—particularly when it comes to gen AI.

Our thoughts on the @databricks & @Snowflake. They both made it abundantly clear that data has gravity. And, despite the size, sophistication, or abstraction that off-the-shelf, third party models offer, enterprises want the ability to train, fine-tune, and run models directly on top of their proprietary data without compromising on performance, cost, and security.

We have long debated the end state of how enterprises will leverage AI in production and it is becoming clear they want their models/compute closer to the troves of proprietary, enterprise data that already exists inside these platforms.

It’s been a long-standing thesis @BatteryVentures that API-first products can uniquely grow through deep distribution partnerships, and @obieinsurance is no exception. Congrats to Ryan, @letzeiser and the rest of the Obie team on the Series B!

Though both have value, there is a difference between date night table bookings and medical records…. Yet Opentable has default 2FA and it isn’t an option on a Epic’s patient/healthcare portal. #security #digitalproducts

College baseball should have a 10 run rule… when FSU is smoked by 12 in the top of the 9th, @espn should go to the next game. #gobeavs

For all the complaining about travel, randomly encountered the culinary @Delta on LHR-DTW. Not only good people, they really care about delivering an amazing experience.
