Josh LaSov is the founder and former CEO of Satori Reporting, an advanced reporting and business intelligence (BI) solution for mid-market businesses that use NetSuite financial software. Satori provided pre-built reports and dashboards, a tailored data warehouse, and detailed data models that leveraged the popular Power BI software. Josh launched Satori, his second NetSuite solution, in 2019 and grew quickly in the NetSuite ecosystem, with a savvy team and no outside funding. Satori was sold it to private equity buyer Insight Partners in 2022 and combined with another NetSuite provider, Zone & Co. In this episode, Josh talks about the benefits and challenges of building add-on solutions in the NetSuite ecosystem, their ROI of non-dilutive funding and strategic angel investors, selling two companies then getting bored and restless, and starting his third company, Cauzzy.ai to provide AI-powered automated financial analysis and insights. Quote from Josh LaSov, founder of Satori Reports and Cauzzy.ai “When you have a good exit, you can assume the lifestyle that you desire to live, you can slow down. So from 2022 until starting Cauzzy.ai in 2024, I did that, I worked out every day. I listened to more podcasts than any human should listen to. I educated myself, read every newspaper and news site. I took time for myself “What I found was...it wasn't fulfilling. I needed more. I didn't want to be on the sidelines. I felt myself getting slower, like I was retiree. I appreciated the journey more than the destination. But there's a balance and I could achieve that balance. “I needed to do something, but I didn't want to just jump into something just to do it. I was to be patient until I found something that I was passionate about and that's realizable. I thought, I can do this again, I want to do this again. Let's take our time and focus a bit more on balance this time, but let's get back in the game.” Links Josh LaSov on LinkedIn Zone Reporting (formerly Satori Reporting) on LinkedIn Zone Reporting (formerly Satori Reporting) Cauzzy.ai website NetSuite website The Practical Founders Podcast Tune into the Practical Founders Podcast for weekly in-depth interviews with founders who have built valuable software companies without big funding.

Today on Equity, Julie Bort sits down with Ryan Hinkle a Managing Director at Insight Partners, the giant New York-based venture capital firm that invests in tech worldwide. It has $90 billion in assets under management and just raised a new $12.5 billion fund. The pair unpack the evolving landscape of startup ecosystems. They talk about the post-pandemic shift that saw many founders moving to cities like New York or Miami only for the rise of OpenAI and Cerebral Valley and the accompanying AI boom to reignite San Francisco and Silicon Valley in general.  While some founders say that they are now relocating their companies to San Francisco, Hinkle disagrees with the necessity of doing so. He concedes that the Valley offers an unmatched talent pool but argues it also comes with steep costs and retention challenges, making it far from the only viable choice for startups. Listen to the full episode to hear more about: Why startup success isn't tied to a single location but rather to access to skilled, loyal, and affordable talent How Silicon Valley's abundance of opportunities creates a "mercenary” hiring culture, making employee retention difficult The key differences between building in New York vs. Silicon Valley, including financial management and access to venture capital Equity will be back on Friday with our weekly news roundup, so don't miss it!

In this episode, Ryan Staley interviews Jeremey Donovan, EVP of RevOps' strategy at Insight Partners. They discuss Jeremey's extensive background in sales, tech, and marketing, and delve into the transformative role of AI in go-to-market strategies. Jeremey shares insights on the challenges and opportunities of AI in sales development, the distinction between inbound and outbound sales, and the potential for AI to enhance full cycle selling. The conversation concludes with Jeremey highlighting successful AI-driven initiatives within portfolio companies and offering advice on leveraging AI for sales efficiency. Takeaways Jeremey Donovan has a diverse background in sales, tech, and marketing. AI can significantly enhance productivity and efficiency in sales. The distinction between inbound and outbound sales is crucial for AI application. Skepticism about AI's effectiveness in outbound sales is warranted. Nurturing leads digitally until they are ready to engage with sales is essential. AI can help identify gaps in sales opportunities and improve deal management. The future of sales may involve more proactive AI-driven strategies. AI's role in customer support is a low-hanging fruit for companies. Successful AI integration requires careful consideration of its application.

Howdy, y'all, and welcome to The Cyber Ranch Podcast!  Our guest is Thomas Krane, Managing Director at Insight Partners.  If you go to Thomas' LinkedIn page, you will also see that he works with a number of cybersecurity scaleups (we'll define that term).  As such, Thomas is uniquely qualified to speak to some trends in the industry.  Drew asked Thomas to join us here at the ‘Ranch to discuss quite a few facets of the industry.  Thomas, thank you for coming on down to the ‘Ranch! We see consolidation and platform creation, but also continued development and evolution of point products. Are we better to view cyber as a single market or is this a combination of several related but distinct markets? It looks like money is flowing into startups again, is that so? If so, what factors are driving the renewed interest in cyber products? And what is the difference between a startup and a scaleup Is VC money leading the development of new solutions or is it in a phase of fast following? Aside from AI, what types of solutions are heating up and where is it seeing more stable maturity? Any areas that have fallen off the map? Speaking of AI, are you seeing predominately new solutions or reframing of existing solutions to fit the new challenges that AI poses? Two ends of a spectrum, security using AI and securing AI. Which is most interesting? Which is more likely to produce a big breakthrough? Which is a more solvable problem? Y'all be good now!
