Interesting to see the themes on addressing scarcity of resources in this NYSE video - not just things like energy and water, but also compute - and the potential impact on society in very meaningful ways. Exciting to have been a part of driving efficiency for the past decade - for energy at EnerNOC and for public cloud usage CloudHealth by VMware and CloudZero. At CloudZero, our mission is to make efficient innovation a reality for any business innovating in the cloud. With over $300B in cloud spend waste projected by 2028, the future of compute and workloads like AI may depend on us getting this right.

"It took 7 years to become an overnight success." Episode 18 of #20Angel is now LIVE 🎙️ Reece Chowdhry, Founder of Concept Ventures, the UK's largest dedicated pre-Seed Fund, joined me in the hot seat 🔥 1st check investor in ElevenLabs, Treefera, Superlinked and many more 👀 We discussed why the best investments are the weirdest, using body language experts for DD and why most VCs can't handle pre-Seed 🍿 Founder references on Reece: Aayush Jain (Quantive): "What really makes Reece special is how he rolls up his sleeves and gets involved. He's super approachable - you can always reach out to him, and he's genuinely eager to help. Reece played a very big role for us, not just during our seed round, but he was also right there with us when we were going through the acquisition process. He's been a rock star supporter through it all." Caroline Grey (Treefera): "Reece has been a fantastic counsel that is happy to have any discussion & is thoughtful in his responses. He has always been a fantastic sounding board for me on the Treefera journey & has an amazing knowledge of the VC market which is always really helpful in the busy & fast start up process of a young company to keep us on track!" Daniel Svonava (Superlinked): "We had a lot of top investor commits but couldn't find a lead for months. Concept stepped up, made the bet even though we were quite early and in the middle of adjusting our focus from building full stack products (various consumer experiences + recommender infra in the background) to being a pure infra company."

You're sitting across the table, your eyes alight with excitement over a pitch. But then, plot twist – someone starts questioning everything. It's part of the game, making sure we're not just seeing things through rose-colored glasses. Chatting with Sunil Nagaraj, Founding Partner at Ubiquity Ventures, highlighted one of the thrills of the early-stage investment game: the best funds out there, they've got a flair for the asymmetric - when someone at the table just can't hold back their enthusiasm. They're like, "Guys, this is it." They've spotted something – maybe it's the spark in a founder's eye or a market gap everyone else is missing. So, what's our playbook? It's about feeling that vibe, that "Let's roll with it" moment. We're not just throwing ideas at a wall; we're putting our weight behind them. We dig deep, ask the tough questions, but once we're on board, we're committed. That idea becomes part of the crew. And when those out-there bets win, it's high fives all around.
