Dawn General Partner Josh Bell was at 10 Downing Street today to celebrate the UK's AI ecosystem. Most important to that ecosystem are the founders who are pushing us forwards. Whilst it is right to celebrate the success already achieved in this space, we must ensure that investors, policymakers, and peers do everything to foster a thriving, ambitious ecosystem for those founders, with the access to the resources that they need to succeed. In doing so we can ensure that we see more founders like Vishal Marria of Quantexa in the future!

And it's out of stealth! Open to both current students and recent alumni, come and build with the most exciting AI leaders. We have worked hard to bring together the best-in-class tech access and perks, so you can build the most cutting-edge solutions! 😎 When I was in university and earlier in my career in the UK, I had very little access and awareness of what's out there in the tech scene. That's why I'm so excited to organise this event and see it come to life ❤️ Special thanks to UCL AI Centre and Google Cloud for making it happen!

Our portfolio company Vulcan Cyber | Own exposure risk, the market-leading platform in cybersecurity risk management, has been acquired by Tenable. From the start we were impressed by Vulcan’s innovative product offering, the vision of its exceptional founding team: Yaniv Bar-Dayan, Tal Morgenstern, and Roy Horev, and the growing demand from businesses struggling with vulnerability alerts. Since then, it’s been a brilliant journey partnering with Vulcan as they grew and evolved their business, expanding beyond their initial focus on vulnerability remediation. Congratulations to Vulcan and Tenable as you embark on this new chapter! More details can be found here: https://lnkd.in/eShJQn9u Henry Mason #cybersecurity

IT will be the “HR department of AI agents”, according to Jensen Huang. We agree… as a role for both in-house IT and third-party providers alike. IT Services providers have always been the thread that weaves new technology into the fabric of companies large and small. Last decade, that meant the (very) long road to the cloud. AI is up next. As Nils, Owen, Evgenia and Henry outline in our latest deep-dive: 💰 A €200 billion industry in Europe alone, providers also influence a huge amount of customers’ IT wallet indirectly too.  🌟 Accenture’s $5 billion in GenAI bookings indicate the new projects that we expect to soon filter down to the SMB and midmarket - and they’ll need IT Services to deliver them. 📈 A new wave of tooling will unlock radically more profitable operating models. This includes preventing a deluge of tickets, automating security operations, and building custom apps like CRM or ERP integrations. We’d love to hear from builders in this space - if you are a service provider, a start-up selling to them, or even exploring them as a channel.

“The most exciting thing for me in this industry is also the challenge. There are huge numbers of factories that have seen very little innovation over the past 50 years – understandably so when the risk of breaking a finely tuned machine/process can have expensive and long-lasting impacts. However, it also means that there are so many companies, plants, and people who stand to benefit from innovations in Industry 4.0.” Daniela spoke to Underline Ventures for a Q&A on the transformation of traditional manufacturing, highlighting the challenges and opportunities in modernising manufacturing practices through Industry 4.0 technologies. 🔗 Read it here: https://lnkd.in/d8hPdF5p

“A buoyant public market and high dry powder in venture means there is likely to be an even greater divide between public and private valuations, with the latter at times defying gravity,” Dawn Capital general partner Evgenia Plotnikova said. “While the jury is still out on whether those high valuations are justified and just how much AI can eat into the global knowledge work economy, we are unlikely to see a trough of disillusionment in 2025.” In this PitchBook article, Evgenia and other European VCs share their outlook for 2025. 🔗 Read more here: https://lnkd.in/dvre4KVJ

🚧 Construction is synonymous with low profitability - but at enormous scale. Worth $13 trillion globally in 2023, representing 7 percent of global gross output, the sector has seen productivity stagnate for decades, with single digit profit margins permitting only modest investment in digitisation. A huge amount of value would be created with any innovation that delivers even a modest improvement in either revenue or operating costs - let alone one that could address both…. Enter Kraaft. Founded in 2020 by Marc Negre, Cédric Boidin, and Thomas Reygagne, this all-in-one mobile super-app is redefining construction project management – saving time, boosting productivity and bringing simplicity to the job site. 🤝 We’re very excited today to announce that we have led Kraaft's €13m Series A! We're backing a great product and exceptional team who are ready to scale. 🔗 Read more from Norman Jimena and Skye about why we invested: https://lnkd.in/e7F8tvvT
