Navigating the #LLM revolution 🚀

The ascent of LLMs represents a transformative era for the tech world, offering unprecedented opportunities for innovation. As access to LLMs becomes universal, ensuring a software stands out in a crowded marketplace has never been more crucial. Indeed, the democratization of LLMs introduces a double-edged sword for software providers.

1. LLMs level the playing field, offering every player access to powerful tools. However, it risks commoditizing software solutions based on these models, leading to intense price competition. 

2. The ease with which incumbents can incorporate LLM-based add-ons to address market needs further escalates the challenge, making it imperative for new entrants to differentiate effectively.

For emerging startups it becomes imperative to implement robust feedback loops 🔄, narrow the initial focus 🔍, and leverage LLMs and user data to create new data assets 📈.

#ML SaaS 🚀 

Machine Learning powered #SaaS have been changing the current biz model of typical SaaS companies. Tomasz Tunguz and the advertising world can teach us a lot on how to deal with data 💻 

The main takeaways 📌 

1. Machine learning startups benefit from customer #data, which improves their models, raising questions about compensation for this data contribution.
2. The online advertising sector has evolved, with publishers now leveraging their first-party data for competitive advantage while still contributing to global networks.

How will the SaaS ML powered startups evolve? The SaaS ecosystem is following a similar path, focusing on proprietary data use in core competitive areas while being less likely to demand royalties for data usage in non-strategic domains.

The impact of founders' personalities on startups cannot be underestimated. Often overlooked by founders themselves, certain personality traits are crucial to achieve success, especially for early-stage companies 🚀 

The Big Five personality model which categorizes traits into five broad dimensions – openness to experience, conscientiousness, extraversion, agreeableness, neuroticism – serves as a clustering tool for founders’ personalities 👥 
 
The key takeaways:
📢 No prevailing traits. Diversity in founding team composition is the key.
📍 Use the tool for filling the gaps in your founding team. Leverage personal traits and identify which complementary personalities your team lacks.
✅ A valuable resource for investors. Evaluating the personalities of founders can provide deeper insight into the potential success of a startup.

We are thrilled to welcome Federico Ceci in the Proximity Capital family!
We look forward to work together to grow in the VC sector ✍
