One of my favorite @hirecmo podcast episodes was the legends Rachel (@alatepartners ) and Emily (@RobleVentures ).
I am ultra impressed with how they both come from a non-finance background and yet picked up the skills needed to excel in their VC Platform roles - so quickly!
At @RobleVentures, we firmly believe in the latter view: Generative AI is transformational. However, we continuously listen to both sides, trying to extract insights that help us navigate the future.
Both viewpoints will eventually converge, but which will prevail?
"AI is all noise!"
That's what I hear from about half of the technologists and experienced tech executives I speak with. The other half say, "Generative AI is revolutionary and not yet fully appreciated."

In Latin America, research by the OECD shows that teachers spend an average of 20 hours a week preparing for the classroom, including creating lesson plans, coming up with exercises, and evaluating student performance — all unpaid.
Teachy leverages the power of GenAI to help teachers automate specific tasks in the classroom and augment their capabilities.
Already gaining traction across LATAM and into the U.S., Teachy hopes to empower over 70 million teachers worldwide.

Founder & CEO @jdulski has always been one to challenge the status quo; after coxing men’s rowing in high school, she challenged Cornell leadership to allow women coxswains on the men’s crew team.
At her company @RisingTeamHQ — an industry-leading team development tool that drives high-performing teams — she continues to amplify the potential of those around her.
“As an entrepreneur, I believe that the winning formula is creating something extremely high-potential and empowering others to help take it to the next level.”
With the help of Jen’s history of startup success and impact, Rising Team will make every team on earth more connected, engaged, and successful when employee morale is at an all-time low.

Building and running an effective BoD is essential to any venture-funded startup, yet it is often considered an afterthought in the midst of a financing.
Why do you think that is?
Our playbooks around board performance are based on @VCSerge's insights from his experiences on the boards of many companies, from seed to IPO:
🌳 Early independent board members
🌳 Accountability culture
🌳 Separation of shareholder rights from board rights
We’re looking forward to sharing more of these insights soon.
