It's a bit over a week since the #NTUitive techroadshow. I was leafing through the notes of that day and found 3 points that had come up in conversations 1. AI and Privacy Concerns : There is a lot of excitement about using Gen AI to build great applications and tools. But there also is a concern that your private data is being funnelled away. Of course AI companies aren't using your data to train the models, but your data still goes out of your environment. 2. Hallucination : To what extent will you trust the output generated by a bunch of neutrons on a chip? Sadly LLMs are notorious for making stuff up and depending on the technique used, you will get lesser hallucination. Getting it to near 0 is a challenge and in industries like Finance, Legal and Medicine this is a fatal error. 3. Cost : Testing some POCs and simple ideas on current models is easy. But if you truly want your entire organization to use an AI copilot - which we believe is when true productivity benefits will be unlocked - can be challenging. We decided there at the roadshow that we will focus on No Leaks, No Lies and No Tokens as our guiding principles for for Pints AI Thanks Nanyang Technological University Singaporeand NTUitive for the opportunity!

“At In Revenue Capital nearbound is not a shift, it’s the core thesis of the firm since we opened the doors”– Josh Wagner, Co-Founder and Partner. VCs are using nearbound as a factor to identify and support successful startups. Why? Because they need to see a solid GTM strategy that is not only efficient but also built for the current market. It is time to implement new ways to go to market, and partnerships are one of the most interesting levers companies can activate. Partnering up to go to market isn't an add-on or a luxury anymore. It's a must. Learn why VCs are looking through the nearbound lens at the Nearbound Summit, the biggest virtual B2B GTM event.
