Ubiquity Ventures-backed KINETIC CEO Adam Price has taken the company from $0 to $75 million of insurance premium written in less than 3 years! In today's just-released UBQT blog post, we interview Adam Price about Kinetic's workforce safety products for front line workers that predict, prevent, and manage injuries -- as well as what makes him nerdy. There's also a great nugget in here about the pros/cons of having a myopic focus on one product vs. expanding to nail what customers need.

Announcing our latest investment!
Let's free up professionals from SOUL-crushing busywork! Caddi announces a new $5 million round of venture capital to use AI to solve this problem! This morning Caddi co-founders CEO Alejandro Castellano and CTO Aditya Sastry are announcing their brand new $5 million financing, led by Ubiquity Ventures along with Founders Co-op and AI2 Incubator. Read more in GeekWire's article: https://lnkd.in/ggZEWkWJ Caddi is focused on this new idea of "automation by demonstration". They transform how professional services automate repetitive tasks through their novel “record-to-code” approach in which Caddi turns simple screen recordings into fully functional, API-driven workflows—no coding required! Sign up and try it for yourself at https://www.trycaddi.com As Caddi co-founder/CTO Aditya Sastry explains: "Our system generates API-driven integrations that achieve the user’s objectives but with significantly higher reliability and scalability. It's the difference between teaching someone to follow a recipe blindly versus understanding the principles of cooking." I'm personally excited about Caddi's vision to push beyond the AI hype and headlines. Instead, Caddi is focused on helping non-technical customers take advantage of AI but do it on their own terms. Caddi uses simple user demonstrations of workflows to create reliable and deterministic automations (no hallucinations or crossing your fingers that it worked this time). I'll be joining the board of this Seattle-based startup as I continue to love this ecosystem. Other past Seattle investments include Auth0, Esper, ThruWave Inc., and more. Ubiquity Ventures is leading Caddi's $5 million round alongside Founders Co-op (Aviel Ginzburg, Chris DeVore) and AI2 Incubator (Jacob Colker, Yifan Zhang) And Caddi is hiring!

? "IT'S NOT YOUR FAULT, BUT IT IS YOUR PROBLEM" ?? Entrepreneurs must suffer through pitching VCs who have incentives and daily routines that are very different from their own -- and this leads many entrepreneurs to complain about this reality ("those ANNOYING VCs"). My advice is to try the OPPOSITE approach: understand and embrace the quirky dynamics that shape a VC’s decision-making process to absolutely NAIL the fundraising game. I explain more in my new Ubiquity Ventures post this morning: "Think Like a VC: How Understanding the VC Mindset Can Maximize Your Own Fundraising Success" https://lnkd.in/gnXvVgWn From the UBQT post: “When I first heard about venture capital 20 years ago, I imagined it as the perfect job—sitting in a chair, predicting the next big thing, and helping to shape industries by backing game-changing technologies. The idea of anointing “kingmakers” and having others vying for your help and attention seemed both exciting and impactful. In reality, venture capital is much more nuanced.?Entrepreneurs must understand the daily dynamics that shape a VC’s decisions?in order to properly navigate the fundraising process and maximize their chances of success.?Here’s how gaining insight into a VC’s priorities and mindset can give you an advantage..." #pitchingtips #pitch #startups #fundraising

The next breakthrough in imaging/perception is based on catching INDIVIDUAL photons -- and this enables perception in very low light and fast-motion environments! ???? Ubiquity Ventures-backed Ubicept has pioneered this technology, and this morning we're releasing our UBQT interview with co-founder/CEO Sebastian Bauer! Read now: https://lnkd.in/gC4E2XAP From the UBQT post: "There is a new class of image sensors?that capture each individual photon, or light particle, with an extremely high time resolution. The good news is that this?allows you to see in challenging low light and fast-motion environments. It also allows you to see in super dark and super bright environments simultaneously, meaning cameras don't need to adapt to these brightness variations. When you capture these light particles with extremely high time resolution, you end up with a ton of data that is somewhat unmanageable. This is exactly where Ubicept comes into play: we convert?TERABYTES of data volume every second?into usable video output.?" Read today's just-released post at https://lnkd.in/gC4E2XAP Excited to be investors in Ubicept (Sebastian Bauer, tristan walker) alongside E14 Fund (Calvin Chin, Habib Haddad) and Wisconsin Alumni Research Foundation (WARF) (Greg Keenan)! #computervision #perception #spad #imaging

Last weekend I hosted a Ubiquity Ventures breakfast for the Harvard Business School WesTrek, where current Harvard MBA students come out to Silicon Valley for a few days to see what all the fuss is about. I fell in love with Silicon Valley on this same trip when I was in school, so it’s particularly fun to pass along the excitement to the next wave of folks!
