📍 Advice for European founders: Before opening a U.S. office, you need to choose a location. The primary factors are costs, logistics, and access to talent. Managing Director Dionne Chingkoe shares her insights from working with European ScaleUps in our just-released report, “Building Locally, Scaling Globally: Navigating international expansion for European founders”: “U.S. workers are generally more expensive. Supporting a New York-based employee can be challenging for a European company. Many founders prefer setting up in areas like Austin, Atlanta, or Boston, which are cheaper but have become talent hotspots due to their concentrations of young people pursuing relevant roles.” Access more insights from investors, our Onsite team, and leaders from our portfolio by downloading the report here: https://lnkd.in/e96-h3vn

“I disrupted my own role,” says Bianca Diana Anghelina, one of the cofounders behind AILY LABS. From her early fascination with business to co-founding a groundbreaking AI company, Anghelina is changing the game for corporate decision-making. After almost 11 years at Novartis, Anghelina realized AI’s transformative power in pharma and teamed up with AI specialist Sara Bisbe López. Together, they launched Aily in 2020 to revolutionize business intelligence. Their mission? Empower Fortune 500 companies with full access to their data, enabling faster and more informed decisions. Aily first caught the eye of Managing Director and eventual board member Hilary Gosher. “It wasn’t a true SaaS business yet, but we saw the potential for recurring revenue as increasing numbers of users were adopting and using Aily every day,” she explains. “Bianca is special because she saw the need for a technology like this firsthand. She knew it would resonate with customers,” says Vice President Alexandra Lundin. Insight Partners saw Aily Labs’ potential and invested €19M in 2023. Since then, the team has expanded from 175 people to 300+, international hubs have been established across Europe and New York, and multiple large deals have been closed. “The professionalization of the business, the speed to product, processes, and go-to-market have all been exceptional,” says Lundin. “We want to become the Apple of AI,” says Anghelina, who hopes to reach one million users within the Fortune 500 by 2027.
