What an amazing evening in NYC! 🌟 Future Back Ventures (FBV) teamed up with First Round Capital Partner and Bain alum, Hayley Bay Barna, to host an event for early-stage Bain alumni entrepreneurs on Tuesday night. The Head of FBV, Ann Scott-Plante, facilited a panel discussion of former Bainies and successful founders, Adam Braun, Jeffrey Raider and Sarah Miyazawa LaFleur. They shared countless insights, some in-line with conventional wisdom and other, more unique perspectives. Some notable nuggets included: - Get to “no” with VCs as fast as possible; it’s the maybe’s that will drain your bandwidth - Minimize the chaos as early as possible in your startup; focus on key, strategic priorities to avoid whiplash - When fundraising, prioritize the VC partner rather than brand name; the partner is the one who will determine how involved and helpful a VC will be throughout your journey A heartfelt thank you to the panellists and attendees! Which city should we visit next? Let us know in the comments!🌟 #BainAlumni #atBain #VC #Entrepreneurship

Congratulations to Bain Alumni Danny Goldman on the launch of Mako AI!
Today, I’m incredibly excited to announce Mako AI- the world’s first AI Investment Associate. Our team is backed by Khosla Ventures and comes from Bain, Glean's Founding Search team, Scale AI, C3 AI, Salesforce, AWS, Stanford, and UC Berkeley (Shivaal Roy, William Peng). A few years ago, while working in Bain’s Private Equity Group, I had a moment that changed everything for me. I was leading a deal looking at a company that sold solutions to parking garages. It was 10 pm, and I was buried under a mountain of work: packaging findings from 25 customer calls into our standard format and building a TAM. Five hours later, after painstaking synthesis and fruitless attempts to tap into Bain’s huge institutional knowledge for market data, I was exhausted. I finally went to bed at 3 am, thinking there had to be a better way. That night sparked the idea for Mako. Fast forward to today, and Mako can do in minutes what took me hours—even days. Mako is not a traditional software tool; it's a collaborative teammate you can talk with and delegate tasks to, just like a real-life associate. With access to all your firm’s data and unlimited bandwidth, Mako can get you quick answers, tackle heavy analysis, and even draft output in your exact style. Our product is the most secure AI platform for financial firms on the market today, deploying entirely in our customers’ environments with SOC 2 Type II certification. Our customers – private and growth equity firms – are already seeing very promising results. Investors have quickly become daily power users. We’re excited to make Mako commercially available to all investment firms starting today and have plans to expand across the entire financial and professional services industry very soon. Please feel free to reach out if you’d like to learn more about us.

🌟 We are excited to announce that Future Back Ventures has invested in Sucasa! Sucasa is on a mission to make homeownership more accessible for Australians. Major Australian cities, such as Sydney and Melbourne, rank among the most unaffordable in the world when adjusted for local incomes, surpassing even the likes of San Francisco, NYC, and London. Sucasa is helping more Australians get on the property ladder by providing simple, fair, low-deposit home loans. And of course, they are providing their services via a beautifully designed, customer-friendly platform. Sucasa is led by an incredible team, made up of Bain alum Mario E. as Co-Founder along with fellow Co-Founders Adam Trouncer and Marian Emmanuel. FBV has invested alongside Zigg Capital and 1984 Ventures. We are excited to work with the amazing Sucasa team as they continue to transform the path to homeownership by making home loans more accessible and affordable for all Australians! 🚀
