In the world of technology, remember: "One machine can do the work of fifty ordinary men. No machine can do the work of one extraordinary man." - Elbert Hubbard. The key to being extraordinary lies in that little "extra." Here's how to infuse that extra touch: 1️⃣ Relationships: Never break a promise; build trust through consistency. 2️⃣ Business: Be sincere and go above expectations; over-deliver on your commitments. 3️⃣ Life: Extend a helping hand without being asked; make a positive impact. Stand out by incorporating these principles into your daily interactions! In this era of transformative AI, platforms like CoFounder Pilot exemplify the upbeat fusion of technology and human collaboration. By fostering a dynamic ecosystem that accelerates startups, enhances enterprise innovation, and sources investment deals through AI intelligence, CoFounder Pilot represents the modern embodiment of Compton's vision. It's a reminder that, with the right approach, technology can be a powerful ally in creating new opportunities and driving economic growth.

Founders, if there is one virtual event you tune into this month, I highly recommend you make it the Carta Innovators Summit on February 13th. I already recommended it to a couple of my first-time founders, and this is why: 1. A panel on how to navigate 𝘁𝗲𝗿𝗺 𝘀𝗵𝗲𝗲𝘁𝘀 and the clauses you need to be aware of to minimize dilution, moderated by Peter Walker who we all love and cherish for the trends and insights that he shares with the world 😉 2. Inspired Capital's Alexa von Tobel will lead a can't-miss 'therapy session' for founders experiencing the challenge of building a company for the first time and 𝗻𝗮𝘃𝗶𝗴𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗯𝗼𝗮𝗿𝗱 𝗱𝘆𝗻𝗮𝗺𝗶𝗰𝘀. 3. A spotlight on #climatetech and #sustainability solutions leveraging #AI and wider tech. Mortar IO, Enspi.io and Acuicy will be sharing their experiences and fundraising tips. It's a golden opportunity to dive deep into the realms of venture, tech, and company-building strategies - and it is free! Link to register is in the comments. I bet you r future self will thank you (and me!) later.

Such an interesting report by Yoram Wijngaarde and the Dealroom.co team “ Impact Startup 2023”. One of the key things that caught my attention is the fact that climate tech is one of the fastest growing markets in Venture Capital in general. 🚀 Carbon tracking & offsets grew more than 300x in the last 5 years - that’s insane! 🚀 Carbon Capture and Storage grew around 80x in the last 5 years ! 🚀 climate tech in general has more than 100 billion of funding between 22-2023. 🚀 interesting to see Fusion comparing to quantum computing both are tough tech and starting to interest the VC ecosystem but still with modest growth multiples. 🚀 amazing to see that even with all hype around generative AI, carbon tech grew faster but got a bit less funding. #venturecapital #impactinvesting #climatetech #sustainability #carbonremoval

Alpha Square Group is proud to announce our investment in ControlRooms.ai’s Series A! 🎉 Over the many months of partnering with Monte Zweben and Omar A. Talib, we have been incredibly impressed by the team’s ability to execute in a mission-critical but hard-to-sell market. We received endearing feedback customers and have been very impressed by the team’s ability to scale in such a short period of time without GTM spend shortly after launching in 2021. This investment is a perfect fit for our thematic focus in vertical SaaS. As a leader in AI-assisted anomaly detection, ControlRooms protects critical infrastructure and helps teams enhance productivity, minimize downtime, and optimize resource allocation. We are also excited to be partnering with Jason Heltzer and Prashant Shukla at Origin Ventures, and Patrick Yang at Amity Ventures, alongside Tokio Marine America, S3 Ventures, GTMfund, and many others. Congratulations to the entire ControlRooms.ai team - we’re excited to work with you to achieve this great milestone!   ControlRooms.ai, headquartered in Austin, TX, is the leading provider of AI-assisted industrial-manufacturing troubleshooting platform. With the ControlRooms AI-assisted troubleshooting application, teams enhance productivity, minimize downtime, and optimize resource allocation. ControlRooms.ai does not rely on pre-programmed, static rules to identify operational problems. Instead, its AI dynamically learns plant behavior on its own and surfaces issues before humans or alarms can detect them. #verticalSaaS #verticalAI #AIForInfra #alphasquaregroup #controlroomsai #keepgrowingtogether TechCrunch Article: https://lnkd.in/ep3HJgUJ
