MD at General Catalyst.After just 15 years at General Catalyst, and with investments in companies like Snap Inc., Mercor, Discord, and Hive, he decided to start something new and founded Verdict Capital, an early-stage VC.We began by discussing how his investment #philosophy has evolved over the years - moving from an initial focus on #TAM and metrics to #prioritizing the #team itself and the types of questions he asks in their first meetings.Crazy, controversial, and funny - he shared what he values most when evaluating investments.But it’s easier said than done and as such we dove into how he builds and maintains #conviction when the tides are against you, particularly for ideas that seemed too #revolutionary at the start, like Snap Inc. or Mercor.Given we’re now in the #AI era, we explored one of the most crucial dilemmas in investing: whether a company is just a #wrapper or has a real #moat.From the builder’s perspective, when everything is so easy to build, we discussed the key questions #entrepreneurs should ask themselves before starting their journey.Lastly, we wrapped up with a conversation about the ideal #founder mix when building a company.And guess who Niko’s favorite #historical figure is? 👑⚔️🛡️Check our new website:https://www.boardroomclub.netCheck out our new YouTube Channel:https://www.youtube.com/@BoardroomClubInterviewers: Yossi Garmazi & Jacob Chizunza, CA#tech #VC #Investor #startup #product Chapters:00:00 Intro1:40 Niko's journey03:35 Biggest cultural mindset need to succeed05:15 Venture capitalist mindset 07:33 Cold emailing Elon Musk11:12 When meeting entrepreneurs13:00 Snapchat Investment14:45 Building conviction 17:05 AI revolution19:08 Outside tech what are you rooting for22:00 VC Real value24:05 Younger generation Opportunities 26:34 Immigrants Skills 28:44 VC Alternative financing 30:44 Founders Ideal mix 32:29 Advise to founders 34:19 Mentorship37:52 Favorite Book

From the early days of sending 5,000 #ColdEmails a week, to evolving into account-based #marketing with highly customized messaging for each customer, to building a strong reference system.We then explored whether #grit still #matters in a world where AI automates everything.

Sometimes, it’s as simple as picking up the phone and calling customers.🤖 New Phase: ✨As Snowflake is known as a leading cloud company - so how did it successfully position itself as an #AI player?

We touched into why open source and optionality matter so much, and at the end drive innovation, competition, choice, and pricing flexibility.With #AI now moving from the enterprise to the #edge, we used #RyzenPRO as a case study to understand how the GTM team gets involved early in the development cycle— as time to market could take years in the space.We also covered the key #metrics Philip constantly tracks—pipeline growth, POC, and win rates.

Powered by #AI, Voyantis’ platform operates across 2 main layers:1) #Prediction – Leveraging AI to analyze data and achieve up to 90% accuracy in predicting customer value.2) #Activation – Using a #SignalEngnerring to connect insights directly to marketing channels such as Facebook, TikTok, Google Ads, and a company’s own website, enabling #smarter acquisition of future customers.We then explored their #GTM strategy and what differentiates Voyantis from others in the space - particularly their positioning as a #PrescriptiveAI platform rather than just predictive AI.Beyond Voyantis, Ido also serves as a #mentor at Techstars, which led us to discuss his role there and how much he has learned from working with other entrepreneurs.And Ido’s alternate-universe #profession? 🎸🥁🎶Check our new website:https://www.boardroomclub.netCheck out our new YouTube Channel:https://www.youtube.com/@BoardroomClubInterviewers: Yossi Garmazi & Jason Woolf.#tech #ai #data #customer #GTM Chapters:00:00 Intro01:01 Problem Selection Criteria06:12 Impact of COVID and AI11:00 Future of Marketing KPIs17:38 Big Tech Partnerships22:17 Miro Case Study24:38 Enterprise vs. SMB Strategy25:33 CEO Challenges and Scaling27:06 CMO vs. Growth Teams27:48 Predictive vs. Prescriptive AI29:48 Leadership and Mentoring31:35 Coffee with historical figure of choice 32:33 Advice for Entrepreneurs33:07 Personal Hobbies33:35 Mentor Influence34:48 Favorite Movie35:10 Sources of Motivation

Watch our exclusive interview with Ofir Ehrlich, Co-Founder and CEO of Eon.io.As companies need more data to train their #agents, Eon.io has grown rapidly, #raising over $500M in just two years to chase a $100B+ market #opportunity.We explored how their platform enables organizations to retrieve and extract #data directly from cloud #backups with minimal overhead, while also indexing that data so it can be used for #AI and BI applications.One particularly compelling case study we touched on was their work with SoFi, where Eon.io reduced #data retrieval times from days to minutes and delivered over 100% #ROI in the first year.Interestingly, because the solution is #agentless, clients don’t need to install any #software. That led to a discussion about how the company #balances the access needed and data governance.We then explored how the #cloud is evolving into a “nervous system” for organizations, and whether this shift means organizations are moving away from buying #infrastructure like VMs and toward purchasing outcomes such as #automationFrom there, we discussed the broader cloud #ecosystem and whether, in the near future, it will become easier for companies to move workloads between #cloud providers.Lastly, we touched on Ofir’s angel #investments, including the green flags he looks for in founders, and the ultimate question: what matters more - choosing the right #team or the right #market?And take a guess what is Ofir favorite #Movie? 🚀🌕🧑‍🚀Check our new website:https://www.boardroomclub.netCheck out our new YouTube Channel:https://www.youtube.com/@BoardroomClubInterviewers: Yossi Garmazi & Álvaro Jiménez Cabello de los Cobos.#tech #ai #data #cloud #backup Chapters:00:00 Intro01:04 Creating a Product in Data03:11 Raising funds06:34 Eon´s Products09:48 Building Value in Data Recovery13:27 Balancing safety and access15:01 LLM Pipelines?18:00 Evolution of data management in the age of AI20:55 Cloud as a company´s nervous system23:39 Cloud providers and standards27:11 Green flags in Angel Investing29:11 Exciting verticals to invest in30:53 Advice for entrepreneurs33:03 Hobbies outside of work34:48 Coffee with a historical figure35:37 Favorite Movie35:49 Alternative life to entrepreneurship

Watch our exclusive interview with Forrest Norrod, EVP and GM of the Data Center Solutions Business Group at AMD (NASDAQ: AMD)As the world of #computing is changing at an unprecedented scale, AMD sits right at the epicenter - driven by major recent #developments and strategic partnerships.We started by discussing Forrest’s philosophy of being #customer-centric, and why this matters so much in this industry. Customers aren’t looking for a piece of #technology or silicon - they’re looking for complete #solutions to real problems.We then explored #datacenters in #space. Is it possible?

Watch our exclusive interview with Oren Kaniel, Co-Founder and CEO of AppsFlyer.Everybody knows AppsFlyer today, but what many don’t realize is that in the beginning, most investors said no to their idea. Oren shared that “no” turned out to be a gift — it only strengthened their #conviction to focus on building the #product, even when they were still #outsiders to the industry.They continued making bold, seemingly irrational decisions, like operating without a #sales team for the first six years, and instead concentrated entirely on creating the best possible #product for their customers. That strategy paid off. Today, AppsFlyer powers some of the biggest names including: The Coca-Cola Company , Nike, Pinterest and Visa.We also discussed the #AI revolution, as AppsFlyer aims for 50% of their coding and #software development to involve AI by year-end—a shift transforming how they build and deliver products. A great example is Creative Analytics, their AI-native solution launched last year, redefining app #analytics.And Oren’s advice to young professionals?
