What a memorable week! ?? Last week, we hosted Ansa Capital's Annual Investor Meeting. From Allan Jean-Baptiste and Marco DeMeireles kicking off the day with an insightful Ansa Update and Q&A to Robert ?? Slaughter's inspiring fireside chat on Defense Unicorns, the room was brimming with bold ideas. We also had the privilege of hearing from Meghan Gill, Scott Williamson, and Jeff Frazier on building a scalable GTM strategy—an invaluable discussion led by members of Ansa's Revenue Council. Nicolas Orban closed the day with a dynamic conversation about his journey building Conduktor,?giving us a masterclass in resilience and technical innovation. Thank you to our team, investors, and partners for their invaluable contributions, and to the founders who inspire us with their bold visions.

Excited to share that our Co-Founder Marco DeMeireles was recognized in the Top 50 Kauffman Fellows Fund Returners Index! Kauffman Fellows include investors who are revolutionizing software, AI, healthcare, biotech, fintech industries and more. The VC world can often feel like a black box without a transparent paper trail to show what percent of investments actually turn into success stories.? This index aims to change that. “While traditional metrics like net MOIC (net-realized multiples of investment capital) are private, we created a proxy to evaluate VC success: the number of startups reaching $1B+ valuations, exits, and their corresponding exit values.” Key Insights: ? 1 out of 140 VC-backed startups becomes a unicorn. ? 1 in 5 unicorns globally have a Kauffman Fellow in the cap table. Congrats to all the fellows who made the index! Link to the full report in comments.

Kudos to CEO Benjamin Harvey, Ph.D and the rest of the team on their continued success. We look forward to seeing how this award will expand AI Squared’s impact into the federal sector and beyond.
