To kick off the month of May, Insight Partners hosted a spring Software Social, bringing together our New York network of portfolio leaders, Insight IGNITE executives, and software innovators for a night of connecting and celebrating the NYC software community.

Thank you to everyone who attended. We're looking forward to bringing together the Insight Partners community with more events this year.

I had a great opportunity to present at the VC Platform Summit hosted by the VC Platform Global Community last week. Thanks Joshua Goodfield for hosting me. I was able to explore use cases of Generative AI for Product and Engineering, Go-To-Market, Talent, and VC Platform teams including: 1. Empowering PMs and Developers Across the SDLC GenAI can assist developers and product managers throughout the Software Development Life Cycle (SDLC), from planning to maintenance and deployment. It provides code suggestions, bug detection, and testing automation, accelerating development and improving product quality. GenAI can also enable Product Managers to help summarize UX research and discovery to more closely capture the voice of the customer. Sourcegraph CodiumAI Swimm Sweep 2. Shortening Onboarding Time for GTM Teams GenAI streamlines the onboarding process for sales teams, enabling new reps to quickly learn about Ideal Customer Profiles, personas and developing a strategic narrative through AI-driven simulations and guides. It also automates lead qualification and routine tasks, allowing reps to focus on building meaningful relationships. Writer 6sense Jasper AI 3. Optimizing Recruiting with Ideal Candidate Profiles GenAI aids HR teams in creating ideal candidate profiles and automating personalized outreach. This ultimately improves applicant quality and speeds up the hiring process. GenAI can also help summarize interviews and draft technical scorecards, opening up time for more personalized interview experiences. 5. Data Augmentation and Enterprise Automation GenAI streamlines the process of data labeling and enrichment, enhancing the quality and usability of data by cleaning and augmenting it. It can also enable you to seamlessly integrate and manage various systems such as Datalakes, CRM platforms, and live chat systems using simple natural language commands. Routine tasks like research, summarization and data scraping can be completely augmented, opening up time for higher level creative tasks.
