#IPOLearning 6: Focus matters

• Build in large markets where single product has scale
• Profitability of same franchise is always better than something new
• Competence is strongest typically in one business line
• Free cash flows also accrue where business is strongest
• Platform network effects do matter
• Increasing wallet share from same customer also helps
• Build on your competitive advantage

Happy to announce our partnership with Paul Meinshausen, Schaun Wheeler and Sami Abboud for Aampe, an AI-native user engagement platform. 
 
Today, managing customer relationships has inefficiencies created by traditional, manual processes. Aampe automates content creation, experimental design, and conversion tracking, among other uses. Improving those marketing processes significantly boosts user engagement and conversion rates while reducing the time and effort required to manage traditional rules-based systems.
 
“Aampe has created a way for CRM AI agents to iteratively learn user preferences and then adapt and respond to those preferences optimally, unlocking the benefits that better customer experience provides.” said Paul Meinshausen, CEO and Co-founder of Aampe. 

The funds will be used to support product development and fuel growth as the company continues its rapid global expansion. 

At Matrix Partners India, we are excited to be a part of Aampe’s journey in shaping the future of AI-native customer engagement solutions.

Excited to double down on our investment with Arvind Parthiban & Jayakumar K. for SuperOps.ai, the AI-powered IT management SaaS platform.
 
The $280-billion Managed Service Providers (MSPs) industry is dominated by small and medium-sized businesses, which have struggled with tools that have not seen any innovation for years. SuperOps.ai has changed this status quo. 
  
“Traditionally, MSPs relied on a mix of tools that resulted in high costs and lack of visibility and efficiency. Now, with SuperOps.ai, they can move from outdated point products to a unified platform,” said Arvind Parthiban, Co-founder and CEO, SuperOps.ai. “I am excited about the launch of advanced network monitoring as part of our unified SuperOps.ai platform, so MSPs can offer more services to their clients without adding on more tools. Our goal is to keep developing our platform further so that it can keep supporting MSP ambitions."
 
The funds will be used to enhance its AI capabilities, expand its presence in USA and support community-led initiatives aimed at assisting MSPs in areas beyond technology.
 
At Matrix Partners India, we're delighted to continue supporting the SuperOps.ai team as they transform how MSPs operate.

#IPOLearning 5: Simplicity Is Your Friend

•Typically big businesses are simple businesses
•If investors don’t understand your business you will not get a good valuation
•Good business needs to be understood first before it can be called a good business
•Storytelling is important. How are you different? What is the narrative?
•Cut out lots of jargon, acronyms and complexity to explain your unit model
•Warren Buffet’s annual report 2007 – page 6 and 7

•Among other things business model simplicity is everything

#IPOLearning 4: Valuation multiples are all relative
 
•Companies think too much about size, or market share
•Growth, combined with operating return on capital is far more valuable
•A good business or a good management will always command higher valuations
•A 50 P/E stock may be cheaper than a 15 P/E stock because each company’s growth, return on capital employed and cost of equity is different
•Implied P/E is different from Market P/E

#IPOLearning 3: Competitive advantage drives terminal value: 
 
• What are your right-to-win characteristics? 
• Are you investing to expand your moats?
• The threat of disruption for whatever reason should be minimized
• Return on capital employed (RoCE) should not be optimised over building deep and wide moats. Don’t invite competition
• RoCE should also be looked at more at the unit level. Investing behind growth is important to public market investors too
• Anything that doesn’t drive terminal value ultimately will end up like a value trap. A short-term investment at best
