Every month we invite industry leaders for a Lunch & Learn at the orq.ai office with our GTM team. This week, we had the honor of hosting Laura Mather and Mike Eynon. They are Silicon Valley veterans with a strong track record in Enterprise Technology. They recently moved from SF to Amsterdam and are altruistically supporting startups. Every session leaves us with multiple nuggets of insights. This week's learnings for me: - Growing in a new emerging market and defining the market requires completely different GTM mechanisms - Be strategic about your demo features. Which ones give a quick wow factor, but actually will not be the most important in the day-to-day features - Neurotically focus on stakeholder mapping and develop custom scripts for each one in Enterprise deals - Startups start too late with analyst relationships and working with analysts to define new emerging domains Next steps for us: - Identify and invest a bit more in demo features - Do another roadshow with Analysts for updates and market definitions - Find ways to clear the compliance, infosec and procurement hurdles in earlier stages to smoothen the landing of Enterprise deals Guess we have stuff to do for the weekend! #llmops #generativeAI #genai #startup

As investors, we often look for startups who show deep understanding of their market and customers. 💡 Customer research plays a big part in that understanding, and it certainly helps early-stage startups get on the right path to achieving product-market fit…but are you doing the RIGHT kind of research? 🧐 ➡️ Read our deep dive about some real, honest truths about what it ACTUALLY takes to achieve product-market fit, including customer research: https://lnkd.in/g7-uja_m #vc #venturecapital #productmanagement #data

🗺️WHAT'S THE STATE OF STARTUP NAMES?🗺️ I'd like to throw a big gala for the 2024 Year-End Startup Naming Awards, but this slide deck will have to suffice. The 600 named startups that received Y Combinator funding this year provide a great data set to see the current state of naming patterns across a range of industries. Fundees are all recently founded (thus recently named), so analyzing the recurring patterns in that data set is a great way to see what kinds of intuited structural patterns namers are picking up on -- and how they are recruiting those patterns to make choices about what to signal with their names and how. Typologizing these names was lots of fun and building it out to cover multiple years will give some more predictive insights. 🔴If you wanna talk startup names, feel free to reach out to me!

At TechCrunch Disrupt 2024, industry leaders underscored a critical message for startups: prioritizing focus over hype is essential for sustainable success. Pegah Ebrahimi, co-founder of FPV Ventures, noted that amid the pervasive excitement around technologies like AI, it’s crucial for companies to concentrate on solving genuine problems rather than getting sidetracked by media buzz. Natalie Sportelli from Bullish echoed this sentiment, highlighting the importance of fostering robust customer relationships to navigate trends effectively. As the tech landscape continues to evolve, how can your organization maintain a focus on core mission and customer needs while staying aware of industry trends? What measures do you take to evaluate whether your products genuinely address market demands?
