Better Tomorrow Ventures

We had the pleasure of hosting Dimitri Dadiomov, Co-Founder of Modern Treasury, as a special guest at The Mint. Dimitri describes himself as having “rage founded” Modern Treasury. After encountering a problem while working at LendingHome and becoming frustrated by the lack of available solutions, he and his co founders started Modern Treasury to solve that problem, and to make it easier to move money with efficient tracking. Clients now move, track, and reconcile over $100B in payments a year using Modern Treasury, including over $1B in instant payments. Dimitri shared valuable insights about founding and growing Modern Treasury. Here are some key takeaways: 1. You learn faster when you’re small. 2. Just make decisions. 3. Stay flexible with pricing in the early days. 4. Don’t over-index on profitability too early. 5. Find creative ways to drive top-of-funnel reach.

We had the pleasure of hosting Jake Heller, Co-Founder of Casetext, Part of Thomson Reuters, as a special guest at The Mint. The story of Casetext is a great one: a “Wikipedia for lawyers” that evolved into an AI-powered legal assistant. It became a 10-year “overnight success,” hitting its stride nine years in, and perfectly positioned to capitalize on advancements in AI and GPT-4. In just two months, Casetext tripled (!!) its revenue and was ultimately acquired by Thomson Reuters for $650M in cash. Jake shared a wealth of insights about founding and growing Casetext. Here are some of our key takeaways: 1. Solve real problems for real people. 2. Just start building. 3. Talk to your customers as much as you can. 4. You’ll know when you’ve found PMF. 5. Stay as lean as you can for as long as you can. More below! https://lnkd.in/eSK8vmNz
