Building a career is a series of choices, outcomes of those choices, and then reacting to those outcomes. Sometimes a small choice can have an outsized return, sometimes the reaction to an outcome can lead you down a new path. In investing we are looking for power-law returns, the small bets that we can return exponential value.Our guest today is an investor who has seen some amazing choices turn into huge returns and even better stories to teach and entertain us. Alexander Niehenke is a Partner at Scale Venture Partners where he specializes in Vertical SaaS investing.And John Ruffolo is back to talk about the news!About Alexander Neihenke:Alex Neihenke is a Partner at Scale Venture Partners since 2017. He has focused on early investments in vertical software markets where incumbents have failed to invest in advanced technology offerings. That thesis has led to investments in Archipelago, Dusty Robotics, Motive formally KeepTruckin, Root Insurance, Scout RFP, Spruce, Proscia, and Proxy. Motive has been one of the fastest growing SaaS companies of all time; Scout RFP was acquired by Workday in late 2019 for $540M; and Root completed its IPO in late 2020.He received his bachelor's from UC Berkeley.In this episode we discuss:(0:00:56) News rundown with John Ruffolo(0:16:27) Alexander's path to becoming an investor(0:18:45) The effect of watching his dad work so hard(0:20:50) Alex's experience working in the banking industry(0:24:31) How the experience at Crosslink Capital shaped his career(0:25:56) His role advising Dollar Shave Club(0:28:08) On investing in friends(0:29:46) Joining Scale Venture Partners in 2013(0:32:17) How he focused on Vertical SaaS(0:35:23) Alex's definition of Vertical SaaS(0:36:20) Misconceptions around Vertical SaaS(0:38:11) Why there's a misunderstanding around TAM(0:40:08) Case studies around misaligned TAM(0:44:04) Lessons from his investment in Root Insurance(0:48:59) How Scale's outlook has evolved over the last few years(0:52:06) Why Alex invested in Ripple Portfolio company Rose Rocket(0:54:30) Rules he lives by when joining a new board(0:57:29) What makes a good board member(1:00:00) Why Alex writes about industries prior to investing in them(1:02:52) Thoughts on the AI investing craze(1:05:47) Using data to analyze massive volumes of startups and their success(1:09:16) What would he be doing if he wasn't an investorFast Favorites:*
Data science and analytics play an ever-increasing and critical role in sports creating an intersection between data and sports. From making some sports safer, to understanding the performance and tactics of opposing teams, and individual player analysis and scouting, there's hardly an area of sports today that doesn't intersect in some way with technology and data. So, how do all the puzzle pieces fit? That was the burning question on Adam Morrisey's mind. For answers, he sought out a rising sports analytics guru, John Sears. Over a relatively short period, John has made his mark in quantitative analysis, working for HBO's streaming platform, a nearly three-year stint in predictive analytics at Uber, heading quantitative strategy for the Minnesota Timberwolves, and currently serving as a Special Advisor for the Los Angeles Dodgers.Sears joined Morrisey for a lively discussion on Tuesdays with Morrisey on connecting those dots to bring today's sports into strategic view. And strategy starts with oneself; as Sears said, much thought goes into the decision process behind the positions he takes and the value he can bring to an organization. Often, those decisions went beyond salary.“You can't just straight-line every salary for the rest of your life,” Sears said. “It's the experience. There's so much more to it than my earnings over the next two years.”Morrisey and Sears discuss the intersection between data further…● The sports industry's evolving approach to the role of data● Breaking down data and looking for the proper signal to predict performance● How evaluating data is different depending on the sport● Upcoming data analytics technology“These last two or three years, there's this massive wave of what they call generative models of AI,” Sears said. “For example, I still spend a few hours daily writing and looking at code. And I'll have a text editor with a plugin called code pilot. It suggests big chunks of code by guessing what I'm trying to do based on how I start writing. It's eliminated most of the tedious aspects of writing code.”Uber, The Minnesota Timberwolves, KeepTruckin, and the Los Angeles Dodgers are a few big-name organizations John Sears has worked for since graduating Magna Cum Laude from Carleton College in 2009. Sears earned his MS from Stanford University in 2015; He is a quantitative analysis force of nature.

“Through our research, we also found that anything beyond four notes, if we were to create a pattern that had more than four notes in it, that it started to sound too much like a jingle and just out of place for an automobile. Automobiles really just had single-tone dings, and so we knew we couldn't stray too far from that, or we would start sounding too much like a cell phone or something out of context." -- Sean Beeson This episode continues my interview with Jon Brennan and Sean Beeson, formerly of Sonic Signatures. As always, if you have any questions for my guest, you're welcome to reach out through the links in the show notes.

Keeping Your Brand Current We begin the second half of the interview with a look at what might happen when a product or company changes, and how an existing audio brand can be impacted by something as simple as a new speaker design. “The more specific you're intentionally creating audio for something,” Sean explains, “the more often you have to go back and fix things when something changes.” Jon tells us about the detailed audio guidelines that Sonic Signatures uses to help guide their clients through such changes and offers an important tip about making sure that your sonic branding is up-to-date. A Human Touch The episode continues with a firsthand look at the work Jon and Sean have done for such clients as Union Home Mortgage and KeepTruckin. We start with Union Home Mortgage's sonic logo, how it combines technological innovation with a warm, human touch to reflect the company's brand, and the process used to create its distinctive sound. As Sean puts it, “we continued to make the harmonics richer by layering sounds that really only serve to... add to the overall richness and brilliance.” Listening on the Road We then listen to samples of the audio interface Sonic Signatures designed for KeepTruckin's vehicle monitoring devices and discuss how they met the challenge of creating distinctive sounds based on chimes and mid-range tones that the fleet drivers would recognize right away without becoming distracted or irritated. “We kept having the sounds get closer and closer to the sound of a car,” Sean says, “because that's what the drivers are trained to hear.” We talk about the research that goes into such an innovative audio interface, and wrap things up with a peek at their upcoming projects.

“I think that the future of audio is one that's customized, personalized, interactive, intelligent and dynamic, you know, instead of always treating audio as on and off, we need to treat it in a way that's delivered to each person as a unique experience.” -- Sean Beeson This episode features a rare two-for-one interview with a powerful sonic duo, Jon Brennan and Sean Beeson, formerly of Sonic Signatures. Jon Brennan's a music composer and sound designer with twenty years of experience creating sound for iconic brands and multimedia platforms. With the rise of voice, podcasts, and streaming, he founded Sonic Signatures to enable brands to effectively use branded audio across every campaign and platform. He's created audio logos, original music, and sound design for leading brands including Amazon Alexa, Tide, Southwest Airlines, IBM Security, Mercy Health, Union Home Mortgage, and KeepTruckin. His film scores include internationally distributed feature films and documentaries, and he has an MFA in Music Composition for the Screen from Columbia College Chicago. Very recently, he decided to work with Sixième Son in the US. Sean Beeson is a composer and sound designer who's worked on hundreds of scores for video games, ads, trailers, and podcasts for clients like Google, Disney, McDonald's, Taco Bell, State Farm, Wizards of the Coast, Neoglyphic, and Sony. He helped develop the sonic identity of Google's Pixel phone, Pixel Buds 2, and Google's Home and Max speakers. He's contributed to three Emmy award-winning projects and has been nominated for multiple Game Audio Network Guild Awards. He's now doing independent music and sound design work. If you want to understand why audio is so important to your brand, Jon and Sean have a thing or two to tell you about that.

The Essence of a Project We start off with a look at the early influences that shaped Jon and Sean's interest in sound. Jon tells us how his older brother's Depeche Mode album sparked a lifelong career in music, while Sean recalls his very first encounter with audio branding when he played Sega video games as a child. The topic turns to the versatility of sonic branding in everything from mobile games to casino slot machines. The goal, as Sean explains it is, is "to boil down the essence of a project or product or brand to what really makes it unique and what really helps make it relate to the consumer or the user of that product." Supporting the Brand The interview continues with the story of how Sean and Jon met at a gaming conference, and how their combined experience in commercial music and interactive audio gave them a unique perspective when it comes to audio branding and marketing."We feel that we can best help a company through our one-on-one relationship," Jon says, "and it's through that personalization that we can come up with the most custom and creative results that are the most effective in the long run." Everything is Interactive Next, we talk about audio branding, what it means to them, and how video games in particular have always been ahead of the curve when it comes to dynamic audio and using sound to continually shape the listener's experience. Jon sees interactive audio, guided by machine learning, playing a more vital role in our everyday lives as smart devices become widespread: "Sonic branding," as he explains, "extends beyond just having a jingle or a piece of music, and it really needs to kind of aid the user to be able to identify, interact and...

Trucking in this country is a big deal. It's a massive industry ripe for disruption because of its scale and the fact that there is plenty of room for technological advancement. According to Jairam Ranganathan, the SVP of Product at KeepTruckin, fleet management is also an area where a company can make a huge, positive impact.Main TakeawaysRipe for Disruption and Opportunity: Clearly, the commercial fleet industry is massive. Due to its size and also its fragmentation, innovations do take time. On the other hand, there is an incredible need for innovation and the potential to make a real impact in the fleet management space.Saving Lives and Increasing Quality of Life: According to Ranganathan, the exciting aspect of making a difference in fleet management comes down to helping people. He describes the satisfaction that is derived from saving lives on the road and from helping truck drivers have a better work experience. There's a lesson here that can cut across all industries — helping others is a high value and is very motivating too.A.I. Cameras: A.I. cameras are one such innovation that Ranganathan is working on at KeepTruckin that can increase safety and save lives. Ranganathan shares how A.I. cameras can provide life-saving information in real time. Where sometimes it may be difficult to easily quantify the benefit of A.I., here is a crystal clear example of how A.I. can be used to better human life.Fleet Management Integration: Ranganathan suggests that the fleet management world was fairly atomized when KeepTruckin came on the scene. He explains that KeepTruckin made a decision when entering the market to focus on integrated products. KeepTruckin creates hardware and software products as well as diverse applications. To make a dent in a market among specialized companies, creating a more integrated product line makes sense to offer more utility and ease for customers.IT Visionaries is brought to you by the Salesforce Platform - the #1 cloud platform for digital transformation of every experience.

The debates about inward-facing cameras in trucks are significant, but what's not up for debate is the fact that this camera technology has evolved significantly recently.Take one announcement from this summer, which was the launch of the AI DashCam from KeepTruckin. The technology provider partnered with Ambarella on the image processing capabilities of the camera to provide a device with ADAS and driver monitoring capabilities.Wanting to know more, I sat down with members of KeepTruckin and Ambarella to get the details.

In this episode, Allison Pickens (COO, Gainsight) sits down with John Gleeson (Head of Customer Success - Upmarket, KeepTruckin) to discuss how KeepTruckin has managed to effectively scale their customer success team while adding a thousand customers a week, and more.
My guest today was Greg Dalli from Clarus Designs. Most recently he was a VP of Operations at KeepTruckin. He scaled his operations team by 100 employees in just over a year. It's rare to find someone with so much expertise in the operations space and if you ever get a chance to meet Greg and learn from him, you should definitely take it.
