Over the past few years, gen AI has been transforming the modern world adding trillions of dollars worth of value to the global economy. However, building AI applications still takes a lot of engineering effort, time, and money. A recent investment of Geek Ventures, Dynamiq, focuses on solving this issue by streamlining the development of AI-powered backends (including LLM) for businesses. They offer a comprehensive suite of features for rapid prototyping, testing, versioning, deployment, and observability of AI applications. This drastically reduces time-to-market with zero infrastructure work needed on the client’s side. Apart from being impressed by Dynamiq’s product, we’re proud to have another amazing founding team in our portfolio. Vitalii D. and his team have a track record of building MLOps, experimentation, and feature store platforms together, and we can’t wait to see what’s yet to come!

Geek Ventures invested in Scalestack! Currently, accurately targeting customers is an underdeveloped process in sales due to the lack of technology for easily linking GTM data with your ICP and sales engine. Without an efficient system in place, sales representatives spend most of their time on manual tasks, which can be a time-consuming and error-prone process that drastically reduces their productivity levels. Scalestack solves this problem by building an AI-powered GTM orchestration and activation platform for enterprises that have large sales teams. It orchestrates - at the org level - all of the GTM data across sources and tools, and then suggests prioritized actions, helping the company’s reps execute the sales plays. The company has great clients such as MongoDB, Typeform, and Remote. The founders Elio Narciso and Alessandro Prioni have worked together for the past 10 years. They bring an amazing combination of sales, operations, and product leadership to the table. Proud to have such a valuable addition to our portfolio!

Managing Partner at Geek Ventures. Investor in early stage tech companies that change the world
Exciting news: Geek Ventures portfolio company Spike Technologies closed an oversubscribed $3.5M seed funding round! From the beginning, we were amazed by both the company and its founder, Povilas Gudzius, PhD, leading us to become their very first investor back in 2022. Spike has continually impressed us with their progress, so we happily invested again in this round, which ended up heavily oversubscribed. Spike is paving the way for a positive shift in the healthcare industry through the use of GenAI, and we're thrilled to be part of this transformation! More details here: https://lnkd.in/eW5-dKGe
