At a Glance

• CIOs are managing board pressure to adopt AI while keeping existing systems running, which is a constraint most founders selling to them have never operated under.
• The front end of the investment workflow including diligence, capital raising, sourcing — not back-office ops is where AI has the most leverage.
• Think long and hard about what your moat is. For ToltIQ, it's the vector database infrastructure and the depth of client relationships.
• OpenAI and Anthropic aren't just model providers anymore. They're building platforms. And those platforms are going to erode the edge of a lot of SaaS solutions built on top of them.
