“Nikitas is one the smartest and nicest people I have ever met. And that is indeed a rare combination. We went to business school together and then started a software business while there. Those years are a very fond memory. Nikitas is very thorough and details-oriented but totally gets the big picture. He inspires trust in colleagues as well as direct reports. His problem solving skills are a core strength. I have found him to always build strong relationships at all levels of the organization. Finally he has the highest integrity and work ethic. A pleasure to work with!”

Great insights from Thoma Bravo Managing Partner on CNBC yesterday. Given the macroeconomic conditions, financial engineering is no longer the viable strategy and time has come to focus on value creation across the portfolio companies. We could not agree more here at Loremex. As the matter of fact, that is the primary reason we sprang into action and started this venture! Help mid-market software and technology companies to tap into industry expertise to unlock value and create financial opportunities for the teams. https://lnkd.in/e297-kji

Today, GTMfund’s is excited to announce to launch of Operator, its first incubated company. Max Altschuler (founder of GTMfund) teamed up with co-founder Adam M. (design engineer and 0-1 builder) and co-founder Mark Kosoglow (Outreach employee #1 and former SVP of Global Sales) to create Operator.ai alongside an insanely talented team Pleasant Middelhof, Jeremy Jonas, Carl Gunderson. We've entered a period called “The Great Ignore”. Spam and irrelevant, poorly-automated outbound campaigns are running rampant. Operator gives you an easy-to-use Growth Engineer that allows you to build and enrich lists with accurate data, and run experiments and queries using AI to generate highly targeted outreach. Check out their website to get updates, early access, and see how they are taking the world back to 2 touches meant to attract buyers into conversations that convert, instead of 20 touches meant to make sure you hit your activity number: https://www.operator.ai/

Rolling into another day of the Primary Summit. Hit me up if we should connect onsite. Kudos to the Primary Ventures team so far, as yesterday’s Pre-Seed Summit was on point. Mar Hershenson, Benjamin Sun, Chris Douvos, Zach Weinberg, and Graham Pingree all dropping helpful nuggets for fund managers. Some paraphrased highlights: - Chris Douvos (AHOY Capital) - Most fund decks are terrible. Start with your people (not your strategy) and know you have about 6 slides of his attention. - Zach Weinberg (Curie.Bio ) - beleives SF’s AI talent is a significant advantage over NY, wouldn’t build AI in NY. Also questions if VC exits can keep up with VC expansion (generally hilarious and smart Twitter follow) - Mar Hershenson (Pear VC) - VC is so much more competitive now. It’s not enough to be an ex-founder with a great network and domain expertise. Have a better “why you are different” or do something else! - Benjamin Sun (Primary Venture Partners)- still sees arbitrage in going long NY venture (vs. SF). Do the work to keep various influential networking nodes aware of what you’re doing and how you think.
