Private credit has been one of the biggest success stories in finance over the past 15 years—growing 10X since 2007 to reach $2 trillion AUM. But growth alone isn’t enough. As competition rises and institutional investors scale up their allocations, the next phase of private credit will be defined by operational efficiency—and that’s where technology will play a bigger role. Tarun explains the crossroads private credit finds itself in and describes the potential solutions: https://lnkd.in/gbAaKsTT Are you a founder tackling this?

Early traction is great, but can your startup scale without you in every deal? Recently on Fintech Impact, Jump’s Yelena Shkolnik and Jason M. Pereira break down what separates one-hit wonders from fintechs built to last. Key questions founders need to answer: - Can sales scale beyond the founder? - Is revenue predictable, not just big wins? - Are you building for the long game, not just today’s pain points? If you’re scaling in fintech, give the episode a listen:?https://lnkd.in/gHu4SmGi ?

Can AI Be Your Lawyer??Maybe. But the real question is:?When? The opportunity is massive. Millions of Americans face legal issues without access to affordable counsel. And even in B2B, startups balk at $1,200/hour fees for basic legal work.?But when it comes to actually?practicing law, the barriers are high—thanks to the patchwork of Unauthorized Practice of Law (UPL) regulations across states. Yelena Shkolnik breaks it down in her latest piece:?https://lnkd.in/grktx67u - Some states, like Arizona and Utah, are experimenting with loosening restrictions, offering early signs of change. - Others remain firm, making it?very?hard for AI-driven legal solutions to scale. - Meanwhile, enforcement is a challenge—so some policy may be set in response to the tech companies breaking things.For those still still interested in navigating the space, a few cautionary notes. AI is already shaking up legal research, document automation, and contract review, so consumer LegalTech should be next. If you’re building in LegalTech, we want hear from you. ?

Deploying AI into production is a challenge many enterprises face—navigating cost, latency, and monitoring complexities often slows the path from model development to real business impact. TrueFoundry is changing that. By streamlining MLOps, they empower teams to deploy and manage AI models with speed and efficiency, significantly reducing time-to-production so businesses can focus on building rather than infrastructure. Jump Capital is excited to back Nikunj Bajaj, Anuraag Gutgutia, and Abhishek Choudhary as they scale TrueFoundry’s vision. As AI adoption accelerates, we believe TrueFoundry will be instrumental in helping companies unlock the full potential of their AI investments. We're proud to join Intel Capital, Peak XV Partners, and Eniac Ventures on TrueFoundry's journey. Saurabh | Saaya

That’s a wrap on Utah Tech Week—and what a week it was! Saaya joined Mobly’s ?? Zach Barney to break down how founders can raise from out-of-town VCs. She, along with fellow panelists Grahme, Kristin, and Idan, shared practical tips on getting that first meeting. A key takeaway? Warm intros > cold emails. Finding mutual connections for an introduction can make all the difference and ensures founders are maximizing their (limited) time to work to their advantage. Then, we capped things off with 100+ guests at our Out-of-Town VC Happy Hour with Companyon Ventures at Lake Effect. Great conversations, new connections, and a good time had by all. Till next time, Utah!
