It was an honor to join?Howard Morgan?and?Yumiko Ono (Murase) from The Wall Street Journal at Journal House Singapore last week to talk about The New Rules of Management. From the beginning, we’ve always believed that “We don’t invest in technologies, we invest in people.” This people-first approach shapes how we partner with founders—helping them evolve from visionary entrepreneurs into great managers who can drive growth while keeping their boldness and passion intact. To fully realize this vision and provide deeper value to our founders, we at B Capital believe that the first place to invest is in ourselves. We’re building cutting-edge tools that leverage both probabilistic and deterministic AI models, ensuring our value-add approach equips founders with smarter insights and more effective scaling strategies. By embedding AI deeply into our systems, we enhance our team's ability to offer real, hands-on support. Our commitment is to continuously push that investment further. A big thank you to WSJ and everyone who joined us for this insightful conversation. View the full conversation here:? https://lnkd.in/di8aV7F3 Eduardo Saverin
