It's time to rethink TAM Traditionally, venture capital firms have established strict TAM guidelines to quickly assess whether a market is large enough to support a startup’s growth into a highly profitable company. If your TAM is $100B, you only need to capture 1% of it to build a $10MM ARR business. If you only need 1%, you have room to make mistakes while still enabling investors to achieve their target returns—at least, that’s the conventional thinking. But today, with the rapid evolution of AI technology and the speed at which startups can iterate, calculating an accurate TAM is even more challenging. AI isn’t just accelerating product development; it’s unlocking entirely new markets and business models.

19days is a B2B SaaS venture studio. We find real problems, validate solutions, and rapidly build scalable businesses.
关于我们
Our studio works in quarterly cycles to move from problem definition to MVP product launch every 180 days. With our inaugural $10MM fund, we will launch 6+ ventures. 19days was born out of Gitwit, a full-service innovation agency founded over a decade ago by two of the 19days partners. Now, instead of building other companies’ ideas, 19days will activate Gitwit’s team of 50+ researchers, strategists, technologists, and marketers to create its own companies — in essence, becoming not only the engine, but the source.

Great insights from our managing partner, Joey Wignarajah, on our journey this year. Excited to reveal what we have planned for 2025!
We began 2024 at 19days with the mounting pressure to get ventures into the world following some hard lessons learned in 2023 and an affirmed understanding of just how big the opportunities of AI could be. After the excruciating decision to wind down our first venture, an unfruitful exploration of manufacturing staffing, and a lackluster reception of an employee feedback tool, we doubled down on our AI focus this year—and it’s paying off. We spent much of the first half of this year focused on the behind the scenes work of early-stage venture development. This included diving deeper into the rapidly evolving world of AI technologies, learnings which have heavily influenced the ventures we have in flight and launching soon. Our launched ventures,?Prelude and?Agentech, also had good years. While its early days were far from smooth sailing, Prelude, our AI-enabled venture in the death care space, is growing and on a well-charted path to breakeven and beyond. You can now pre-plan with Prelude at funeral homes in Oklahoma and Texas, with California coming soon. In late summer, Agentech, the AI workforce of insurance carriers, was born out of our research into pet insurance. While exploring opportunities in this field, we unlocked a massive market with our solution for the insurance claims process. The venture’s blue-chip team of operators,?Alex Pezold and?Robin Roberson, have already signed their first customer and built a multi-million dollar pipeline for 2025 after only 120 days onboard. As we look to 2025, we’ve built a robust venture pipeline with creative investment strategies that will allow us to get more players on the field and more human-centered ventures into the world. Follow along with what's to come via 19days! #earlystageventures #venturestudio #AI

For venture studios like ours, where we partner closely with founders to accelerate success in the make-or-break post-launch months, the time we spend together must be intensely focused, strategic, and impactful. After four venture launches, we’ve refined a communication strategy to ensure our limited face-to-face time is spent making crucial progress. The approach has maximized the effectiveness of what we’ve dubbed our Founders’ Strategy Sessions. Check out our latest article to see our founder meeting agenda and tips for making meetings for time-limited teams as effective as possible. (Full article linked in the comments.)

In a world where it’s increasingly feasible for anyone to build anything, it’s no longer about hitting traditional startup milestones like minimum viable products (MVPs.) It’s about how fast you can iterate to achieve product-market fit.?Chances are, if you’re clinging to the MVP launch model, it’s slowing you down. Prototypes, on the other hand, are lightweight, quick builds that give target users something tangible enough to react to, offer insights on, and get excited about. They’re also reasonably likely to get trashed. But with the almost nonexistent barriers to building these days, a disposable, but testable prototype is one of the best ways to quickly vet technical feasibility and user desirability. In the latest article from our venture studio, we share why prototypes are the key to moving your venture faster and farther. Full article linked in the comments. #venture #MVP #prototype #AI
