Co-Founder / CEO at FERMÀT - improve marketing outcomes w landing experiences unique to every campaign
If you are just about to start a company, I can't think of a better partner than Saam Motamedi and this podcast with Harry Stebbings highlights why. Some of the things he shares: - He worries about the founder and market, not the price of the round. If you are ambitious, and have the right skills / experiences to build a massive company, he will make sure you are resourced to get that company started. - He knows how to help you think about future exceptional investors. He has done this for me, and his approach and instincts are right. - He will spend the time to make sure you are set up for success in the early days. It's a time commitment with him more than a $ commitment, which is very different than other seed funds that write many checks, and see what hits. You should listen, and even if you don't partner with him, at least know what to push your seed investors on.

In a recent interview with Greylock, Pranay Kapadia, Notable's CEO and Co-Founder, shared details of Notable's founding and our bold vision for the future. Born from the phrase "not able," Notable has proved what can be achieved with sheer grit and a vision for change. From automating chart review to enhancing patient care with AI, we're redefining what's possible for healthcare efficiency. Read the full interview here: https://buff.ly/4cV5OUk

We’re all in on AI. But it takes some discipline to be an early-stage investor in what Greylock partner Saam Motamedi calls “an exuberant bubble.” Saam had a lively conversation with Harry Stebbings on the 20VC pod about his playbook for evaluating #AI startups, including: -Assessing the founder and market dynamics -Why ARR isn’t a good standalone metric at the early stage -Why now is the best time for new SaaS businesses -Seed round pricing today and how it might impact growth rounds tomorrow You can listen here 👇 https://lnkd.in/g9rwSQBb

When Figma was founded, the vision for the company was more than just a suite of #design tools. It was about closing the gap between what we can imagine and what we can create. “The intention was always to decrease the time it takes to go from something in your head to something on the screen,” whether it’s a website or a fully functional app, Dylan Field says. Now, Figma's integration of #GenAI is set to make the creative process even faster and more efficient. The result is more time to focus on what truly matters: crafting exceptional user experiences. While it was a long and winding road, it's also an incredible story of a company that stayed true to its mission. Read more about the company's journey to a beloved platform used by millions of designers and developers today. https://bit.ly/3VX5xtm

We are launching a new search product -- Clemens Mewald (our Head of Product) presented a preview of that at the VB Transform yesterday. It uses an architecture (Federated AI Agents) we have been working on for the last 12 months. We believe this architecture addresses many of the data, identity, and access-control constraints enterprises care about. We'll follow up with a detailed technical blog soon. https://lnkd.in/dvidR44m

In this week's newsletter, we share the story of Figma's initial mission: to shrink the gap between imagination and reality, and how the company is well on its way to achieving that goal. “For us, the intention was always to decrease the time it takes to go from something in your head to something on the screen,” whether it’s a website or a fully functional app," Figma co-founder and CEO Dylan Field says. Read on for more about Figma's journey, and for the latest portfolio news and events where Greylock partners are featured speakers.

Excited to announce that Curated and Flip have joined forces. I’ve known Noor Agha, Flip’s founder, for a couple of years now. We’ve spent tons of time together, bouncing ideas around, giving each other advice, and sharing our respective views of the future of commerce. Over the years, we came to realize that our visions of the future are shockingly similar — we believe that shopping, at its core, is inherently social and that the future of shopping has real, authentic people at its center. So how do our two businesses come together? Curated and Flip are both on a mission to provide real, unbiased, honest input to help shoppers make better purchasing decisions. At the same time, both companies enable regular people to monetize their knowledge by providing authentic advice on the products they know. Curated does this by connecting shoppers with experts who provide personalized advice for complicated, expensive purchases. Flip does this by creating a platform for shoppers and creators to discover new products, get honest opinions from real buyers, and share their honest reviews, all while earning on the platform. eCommerce is a massive market, but very competitive. Most companies play it safe, but that rarely leads to big breakthroughs. That’s why we’re joining forces. By combining our strengths, we believe we can build something truly novel and pave the way for the future of commerce. I’m very excited to become partners with Noor and take a big swing at creating something massive and different in the shopping world. In case you skimmed this and needed the TL;DR... -we believe the future of commerce is inherently social -both companies are about unbiased, honesty on the internet -both companies are about allowing people to monetize their knowledge -now the real work begins
