Everyone wants to implement AI. But most organizations aren’t ready for it. What happens when you feed an AI poor-quality data? Garbage in, garbage out. Today we’re unveiling the latest chapter of Secoda AI: the fastest way to get answers from your data. Secoda gives you the blueprint for improving data quality, and building the foundational context that AI needs to understand your data. Secoda AI uses the combined context of your data sources, lineage, documentation, and semantic layer to let anyone ask questions and get insights from your data, regardless of technical ability. Designed for both data consumers and producers, Secoda AI is powerful and intuitive to serve everyone from data engineers and analysts to business leaders.Join me later today for an expert AI readiness panel with Scott Breitenother of Brooklyn Data Co. (a Velir company), Bobby Pinero of Equals, and Colleen Tartow, Ph.D. of VAST Data. Andrew McEwen and I will also be deep-diving into the new Secoda AI release.

🚨 NEW PRODUCT ANNOUNCEMENT: VOOMA QUOTE 🚨 Brokers and carriers leave millions of dollars of freight on the table. Why? It’s buried in their inbox. We’re thrilled to be announcing Vooma Quote, our email quoting visibility and automation platform. Most logistics leaders instinctively know there’s an opportunity in their inbox. But how big is it? Most don’t know - for good reason. It’s extremely difficult to track. But you need that data to run your sales org. -> Where are the opportunities? Where are you winning? Losing? -> Where can you shift from spot to contract? -> Where can you win more if you had better carrier rates? -> How is your pricing model performing in the wild? 💰 Leaving money on the table Email quoting can be just as tough for the reps. For familiar lanes it’s pretty fast. But what if you get an RFQ for 15 lanes? Wait more than a few minutes and those loads are gone. Speed matters. 🌅 Imagine Imagine if you could automatically and fully track all of your email quotes and win / loss, in real time, with no manual work? Imagine if your reps had a tool that instantly priced and prepared quotes? How much more business would win? How much further could you go with your existing team? That’s why we built Vooma Quote. 💸 Vooma Quote 💸 Vooma Quote is an email quoting visibility and automation tool for brokers and carriers to illuminate the revenue in your inbox and help you win more freight. Here’s how it works: -> Hit ‘Get Quote’ -> Vooma extracts quote key information and hits your preferred pricing tool for a rate -> Vooma instantly drafts a response -> Hit send with one click Everything is tracked centrally in your quotes database. Easily store your 'tribal knowledge' of how to quote that shipper. Works with single quotes, multi-quotes, spreadsheets, pdfs - you name it. Soon tracking win / loss will be fully automated. *** We’re pumped to help sellers quote and win more freight with this powerful tool. Tell us what you think!

According to Paul Graham, co-founder of Y Combinator, a good company growth rate typically ranges between 5-7% per week. Surpassing the benchmark, Affiniti is experiencing a staggering 88% week-over-week growth rate! Every morning, I’ve been tracking this graph showcasing the explosive growth of Affiniti within just 1 month of our Mastercard product launch. We have achieved this without a sales / growth team or dedicated growth engines (not even referral links). We’re working on all of that, but our product is leading the charge! So what is our product? While Brex and Ramp have revolutionized financial services for tech startups and enterprises, Affiniti is on a mission to bring hyper-customized financial platforms to every other industry in the US! With less than 10% of the US GDP belonging to tech companies, we're here to cater to the remaining 90% — serving verticals such as podiatry, government contracting, fitness, coin laundry, and beyond. This phenomenal growth is driven exclusively by our unique go-to-market partnerships in the podiatry and community pharmacy industries. And we have many more on stand-by! If you want to follow what we’re building at Affiniti, feel free to connect with me. Our journey is a testament to the untapped innovation potential within all of these traditional industries — often overlooked by tech companies.

Incredibly excited to back Jimoh A. Ovbiagele and the Bench IQ team! They're using LLMs to provide comprehensive insights into the decision-making patterns of judges/their rulings and are serving 12 of the top 100 largest U.S. firms already! #AI #SomaCapital #legaltech

🚀 TL;DR - Shuttle is launching, helping 1 billion knowledge workers automate mundane tasks to get more done faster 🚀 ���� I'm thrilled to announce the launch of Shuttle! And the most amazing part of this new adventure is teaming up with Lee Liu again for our 4th startup. I could never have imagined that our collaboration in the first year of college would evolve into us becoming life-long co-founders, marking three decades of partnership! 🤯 Globally, there are one billion knowledge workers, and we could all use some assistance. Our vision is a platform that provides everyone with a personalized version of their own assistant. With the help of AI of course :) 🦸🦸🏼♀️ Shuttle- Choose Your Own Superpowers  Shuttle is a platform where users can select modules to automate mundane tasks, helping them get more done faster. Shuttle triggers personalized actions by analyzing contextual data from calendars, emails, and preferences. We plan to build modules such as: 1. ⌚ Meeting Intel (launching today!) - Gather all essential information about a business associate before a meeting 2. 📅 Follow-Up - Receive timely reminders and automatically draft personalized responses 3. 🔎 Daily Rundown - A snapshot of your day to help plan for conflicts, travel time, rescheduling, and more. We have 15+ more modules such as gifting, travel management, etc.💪 ✨ The Spark:  Lee and I had the privilege of working with an outstanding executive assistant at Mezmo, (Hi, Sumera Kunwar!👋) She skillfully managed a wide range of administrative tasks on our to-do list, which allowed us to devote more time to strategic priorities. This was a skillset I wanted to build on: a tech-enabled platform that would provide every team member with a tech-driven support system, especially after noting the substantial amount of time and effort spent on routine tasks. ❓How we want to be different:  1. AI where AI is needed Not everything needs AI, but there are clear areas in which we can leverage AI to optimize time 2. Platform vs. Catch-All Coming from DevOps, we believe the platform approach / choose your own superpowers is the best way to set user expectations with assistant modules 3. Product-Led Growth  Help should not be expensive; we want to price each module from $1-10/month 🙏 I don’t know where the journey with Shuttle will lead, but I'm very grateful to be on this adventure with an incredible team whom we’ve known each other for 10+ years (Priya Mokha, Mike Hu, Kevin C., Lee Liu). It’s exhilarating when you can do it with a team that values integrity, innovation, and collaboration. A team that has a “get $hit done” mentality. We’re just getting started! To my family, friends, and investors, thank you for the unwavering support, since day 1. To infinity and beyond! 🚀 Check us out at ShuttleHQ.com! https://lnkd.in/enzJan2m
