The true potential of AI isn’t in answering questions dashboards already cover. It’s bringing data insights to areas where data was rarely used —because the cost is too high. When that happens, companies can work "smarter, faster and more connected": goiris.ai/customer-stories/t…

For our inaugural 'In the Labs' interview series, we sat down with founder @amitag to hear why he’s building an AI startup in BCV Labs after selling his company @theyes to @Pinterest. Amit is the type of founder who is as thoughtful about product as he is about the art of leadership, and he shared his hard-won lessons from both. As one example, he believes that early-stage CTOs should be highly involved in non-engineering parts of the business, and this extends to the team. "I don’t like to hire engineers who say they don’t think about the product. If someone says, 'I’m going to build what you tell me to build,' I won’t hire them. Big companies are different, but a startup is a combination of technology, product and go-to-market. As an engineer, you cannot build a product without having a good understanding of the trade-offs involved in something like whether a product should be self-serve, for example. If you don’t understand the go-to-market implications and you don’t understand the fact that adding a certain config is going to add lots of work for the customer and the customer success teams, then you’re not doing your job." baincapitalventures.com/amit…
