Thomvest is a $750M cross-stage venture capital fund based in Silicon Valley and Toronto. We are investing the capital of one individual, Peter Thomson, whose family owns the majority of Thomson Reuters. Peter started Thomvest in 1996 and has invested in more than 75 private companies since that time.

We primarily invest across three areas: financial and real estate technology, cybersecurity and cloud infrastructure, and sales and marketing technology. As part of our focus on these areas, we are committed to helping our companies become leaders in their fields through our work with them and through our focus on understanding where value can be created in these industries, as can be seen from the research we publish regularly.

In his recent TechCrunch story, Kyle Wiggers discusses the 2023 vs 2024 Generative AI investment trends with Umesh Padval. Key insights include:

🔹 In 2023, amidst a challenging venture investing landscape, Generative AI emerged as a promising investment opportunity. The vast potential of AI and the fear of missing out led to a surge in investments at elevated valuations.
🔹 However, as we move into 2024, the investment pace and valuations are beginning to normalize. Investors are recognizing the need for patience as portfolio companies work to scale their revenues.
🔹 Quality still reigns supreme: Companies with strong teams and unique products continue to attract premium funding.

In his latest piece, Umesh Padval debunks #LLM myths. Media buzz aside, LLMs like GPT-4 and GPT-5 aren’t one-size-fits-all. 

Key takeaways:
📌 Size Matters, but Contextually
Smaller LLMs with tailored data often outperform larger ones. It’s about finding the right fit, not just the biggest model.

📌 Open Source ≠ Free
Hosting open-source models racks up costs. Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) and lack of indemnification are real concerns for enterprises.

📌 Cloud Flexibility is Key
Customers value cloud independence, opting for tools that aren't tied to a single provider.

📌 Enterprise Focus Makes a Difference
Unlike some, Cohere is laser-focused on enterprise solutions, delivering high-performance, cost-effective options.
