I think it's a new concept of of utilizing generative AI to be able to chain a lot of these activities that people are doing before together to significantly speed up the process of market research, discovery and testing. Of potential ventures and giving you vastly more at bats and ideas in general and assets along the way that you would have to pay consultants for hundreds of thousands of dollars, you know, just the year prior. The 5th row is a Gen. AI innovation platform that focuses on speeding up identification, discovery, testing of new ventures for any company in any space, given their essence of strategy. So it matches where they're going and they're matching with the best people who can, who can execute, right? So this is an automation of what You Plus has been doing. For the past 14 years and we've put all our know how and processes into into building the platform. Yeah, 5th row is a combination of multiple different cloud and AI technologies. What we focus on is getting a go corpus of information on on on the particular topic that we're solving for us being sustainability, energy, healthcare or whatever, right. So we're looking into public and private data sets. Public is of course everything that we can find on Internet management consulting, PDFs, papers, Tech Crunch articles, Crunchbase profiles. Things like that RO internal data sets from previous reports, private data sets from the customer. So anything around assets and strategy, anything about prior research that they've done. And then on top of it, use the power of AI to synthesize the necessary market intelligence, the insights that we need and follow the process that people would have followed before to basically do. You can think of it as like automated design thinking, automated ranking, so we can at scale identify the markets. These these businesses, potential businesses could be on rank them based on concentration, size and growth, find competitors at scale with their product strengths and weaknesses, therefore define what the white space is and then very, very quickly get to a landing page, smoke test, a pitch deck and all the other assets there are necessary to share in internally for the company. The process that I described for any given space takes about two hours, right. So we can run and we can run. Many of them in parallel, so this speeds up the previous professional services power process 100 X. Well, I significantly faster. So it's 100 times faster than people and we're targeting 10 times cheaper as a subscription. So basically for a price of one professional services, you know venture building or management consulting contract in this area, you get a whole subscription for the whole year that's unlimited. So you can run as many of these as you want. Does it increases massively the ROI of innovation? Of new expiration of new businesses that you can build plus it creates a ton of assets that you can share among other people in the organization. Turning the innovation function more as a as a support across all of the different business units and and basically imbuing them with with this power that they didn't have before or it would cost too much. If you have this tech and you are not constrained by kind of budgets and timing like you were before, certainly not by the number of tests that you could run, right. So imagine you can run any number of tests that you want in any industry, support any business unit that you have, any sort of slight conviction that you have in any space that might work out, you can go and test, right? So you do that, what do you do with that information, right. You have much better market intelligence than anybody else, but that's very personalized to you as a company, to the assets and strategy. So you should go build it, right or if you are not going to build, it's valuable information that you can sell somewhere else, right. So where I think this is going is for, for us turning into automated autonomous sort of machine that you can plug in into any organization so that you know. During the day, during the night, it's working for you and you have many more business opportunities. And I think this is gonna change both the innovation function internally as well as capital allocation on public markets as as well as inside organizations for what the next best bet for that particular organization is.

There are many sides of #ai, and we saw that this week across our Everywhere Ventures portfolio. Some of those sides are less intuitive, and what I call investing in "Tails not Heads," or playing the "B-Side of the Record." Of course OpenAI is cool, but there are 100 other ways to see the trend...
🤖 AI is enabling greater cyber threats at all levels of the tech stack, and we saw Operant AI close its $10M Series A from Felicis and SineWave Ventures to help companies play defense across APIs with better runtime security. Congrats to Priyanka, Vrajesh, and Ashley.
🏥 AI is helping enable real time health benefit verification, and we saw Nirvana close its $24.5M Series A from Northzone. Congrats to Akshay and Kelvin!
💻 AI is also helping streamline how we work, and we saw Zivy, which is like Superhuman for all of your work notifications, raise $1.2M from Blume Ventures. Congrats to Prashanth YV, and Vivek!
👩⚕️ M7 health is streamlining nurse and health scheduling and workflows, and closed $4M from First Round Capital. Congrats Ilana and Eric!
👔 AI is further empowering the individual worker and will lead to greater workforce fragmentation. We led the pre-seed in Besolo, a PEO that caters to S-Corps, and "businesses of one," helping them manage invoices, expenses, W2s, self-directed 401ks, etc. Congrats to Mark and Jeff!
These are just some of the AI adjacencies. It reminds me of 2011 when people asked if we invest in "Mobile startups." The answer with AI is "Yes." #artificialintelligence#venturecapital#everywherevc

[Message from the founders]
Hi Friends and Family 👋🏼
We built Boblfish AI to solve the fundraising challenges we faced ourselves and the common problems experienced by over 50+ founders we talked to.
Existing gaps:
- Public investor databases need manual filtering and deeper research to find the right match. (Alignment in investment thesis, vertical, industry, founder profiles, business model, and round size.)
- Founders spend hours with investors only to find out that the investor’s fund is EOL and does not have any more allocation for new investments.
- Writing personalized outreach emails is time-consuming and error-prone.
How we solve them with AI:
-> Analyze over 1M investor websites and select the investors who are best matched with your startup’s thesis.
-> Provide reasons for each ranking based on investment thesis, round size, location, industry, vertical, competitor in portfolio, and customer in portfolio.
-> Draft tailored emails showcasing how your startup fits each investor’s investment thesis and increases their portfolio value.
We're in the early stages and eager to test different theses that can help founders get more VC meetings. We'd love for you to try our MVP and share your thoughts. Thank you!
Cheers,
Samuel Chien & Angel Lin
