Mangrove Capital Partners

What an amazing journey with WalkMe! It all began when I, as a young Partner at Mangrove, met three founders in a small apartment in Ramat Gan, Israel. I immediately fell in love with the team and their vision. Shortly after, I wrote their first check. From these humble beginnings, we launched our first product into the market, navigating the initial hurdles of product development and market entry. Our journey was far from easy, but each challenge only fueled our determination. Throughout this journey, we faced countless decision points, each critical to our path forward. We made our share of mistakes along the way, but our unwavering vision always guided us. Strategically targeting enterprise customers was a bold move, and it paid off as we pioneered a new category – the Digital Adoption Platform. This category has since become one of the leading sectors in enterprise software. Securing a $1 million ARR customer was a monumental milestone, a testament to our relentless pursuit of excellence. Taking the company public (NASDAQ: WKME) on June 21, just before the market crashed, was a significant achievement. It required meticulous planning and unwavering commitment from the entire team. The market turbulence tested our resilience, but we emerged stronger, showcasing our ability to adapt and thrive under pressure. As we move towards selling the company, we reflect on this incredible rollercoaster ride, filled with countless challenges and triumphs. There was never a dull moment. Our great team, with their unwavering stamina, and our colleague investors, who believed in us throughout the journey, made it all possible. Mangrove turned a $3.5 million investment into almost $100 million! I was blessed to also be the first investor in Wix (NASDAQ: WIX), which was followed by a 16-year journey as a Board Member, an experience that greatly helped with the WalkMe journey and with my role as a Board Member of WalkMe as a public company (which I still hold today).

🧠 Guest contributor Yannick Oswald shares his list of the eight responsibilities that startup CEOs have. #VC Mangrove Capital Partners

"Top insurance CEO, Amanda Blanc, announces that white male new hires must be personally signed off by herself" Perhaps in a galaxy far, far away this is ok.... But for the CEO public company Aviva to openly push discrimination with such impunity is shocking. What is the Board of Directors doing? What are shareholders thinking? What are customers thinking? Stay involved and you own it. Discrimination is NEVER acceptable. More harm than good will come of this. https://lnkd.in/eDXwtgAV

Hypertension aka "High Blood Pressure" powered by #AI - K Health jointly published a study with Mayo Clinic on hypertension, demonstrating the power and accuracy of K Health’s predictive data model. It is unique in medicine. This is the first model of its kind to predict individualized likelihood of hypertension treatment success. It accounts for all possible hypertension treatments, including every permutation of antihypertensive treatment (single drug classes and combination therapies). The study used Mayo Clinic data, which means it built the prediction engine on world class medical institution data. K Health’s model massively reduces the time for doctors and allows them to take into account a myriad of inputs (gender, age, medical history, ethnicity, comorbidities, current HTN read and various labs) and be able to predict the best medication to stabilize the blood pressure of these patients. It is a significant step towards rapid PERSONALISED MEDICINE. Why it matters? Hypertension affects one billion people worldwide, or one in four adults. It is among the leading factors of death globally... Perfect example of how #AI is turbocharging the world. Every industry will benefit... https://lnkd.in/gEqDhPCx
