Welcome to this week's sermon: “The Joy of Heaven” for the Fourteenth Sunday after Pentecost (Proper 19, Series C). In this powerful message, Pastor Balla unpacks Luke 15:1–10, where Jesus shares the parables of the lost sheep and the lost coin. Discover how these parables reveal the heart of God toward sinners, the saving mission of Christ, and the heavenly joy that bursts forth when even one sinner repents.This sermon reminds us of our need for repentance, the danger of pride like the Pharisees, and the true joy found in the forgiveness of sins through Christ alone. Learn how the Good Shepherd seeks the lost, carries them home, and welcomes them to His Table—where heaven itself rejoices and joins us in the feast of His body and blood.If you long to understand repentance, grace, and the joy of heaven more deeply, this sermon will strengthen your faith and point you to Christ's unshakable promises.Support my ministry here: https://buymeacoffee.com/whitegandalphHashtags#Sermon #Luke15 #JoyOfHeaven #ChristianPreaching #LCMS

BinSentry just raised $50 million in investment money to empower animal feed handlers to utilize real time consumption data to accurately forecast future needs.

In this sermon, “From Every Direction They Come” (Luke 13:22–30), Pastor Balla preaches the powerful truth that salvation in Christ is not reserved for a privileged few but is open to repentant sinners from every nation, tribe, and tongue. Jesus warns us to “strive to enter through the narrow door” (Luke 13:24, ESV), reminding us of the urgency of repentance and faith. The narrow door is not closed by God's stinginess but by our sin and pride. Yet in His mercy, Christ Himself has opened that door by His cross and resurrection.This Eleventh Sunday after Pentecost (Proper 16, Series C) sermon proclaims the universality of Christ's saving work, the catholicity of the Church, and the comfort of belonging to God's banquet feast through Word and Sacrament. From east and west, north and south, believers are gathered to recline at the table in the kingdom of God.Whether you are seeking deeper Bible study, Lutheran preaching, or encouragement in your Christian faith, this sermon will strengthen your trust in Christ alone.

Germany-based defence tech Quantum Systems is one of Europe's leading makers of military drones, having completed thousands of missions in Ukraine and signed contracts with governments around the world. The company raised a €160m Series C in May 2025, hitting unicorn status, and is seeing its revenue double year on year.On this week's episode of the Sifted Podcast, host Amy sits down with Quantum Systems' CEO Florian Seibel to hear about what peace in Ukraine will mean for the growing defence tech industry, what the future holds for unmanned vehicles and why he thinks Europe could take a leaf out of China's book when it comes to long-term planning.Seibel, not one to mince his words, calls out the people and investors jumping on the defence tech hype, and explains how working in a war zone and competing against enemy Russian drones has been the ultimate motivator for innovation.

Ry Walker, serial entrepreneur and founder of Tembo.io, walked away from his first company, Astronomer.io (yes the Coldplay one) during their $213 million Series C in 2022. The company was doing tens of millions in revenue. Now, he's building Tembo.io, an AI developer teammate that's already processing 1,000+ merged pull requests for 200 organizations just 2 months after pivoting. He previously co-founded Astronomer in 2015, which has raised $380-390 million total and is now estimated at $80-100 million ARR, but took a rare secondary exit in 2022 to return to his true passion: early-stage building. In this episode, Ry reveals how he went from zero to 30 paying customers in 60 days, why he believes AI agents will 10x the software development market, and his strategy to land million-dollar Fortune 50 contracts by letting non-technical teams create pull requests without bothering their developers.

Reindustrialization is a catch-all description of moves by government and industry to reinvigorate domestic manufacturing amid other countries' investments on that front, especially China.Lauren Williams, our Defense One colleague and a senior editor there, joins our Ross Wilkers for this episode to explore how the industry they cover is a part of that larger push to build more systems in America and use new advanced technology to do it.Much of their discussion is informed by Lauren's attendance of a mid-July conference in Detroit called the Reindustrialize Summit, which sought to bring together tech companies and investors with a keen interest in manufacturing.Flying boats and AI-run factories pitched at 'Reindustrialize' eventZapping drone swarms into submissionMeet the ‘cobots' that could lower the cost of building submarinesSECNAV: Robots won't replace shipbuilders, but they could make jobs ‘easier'Hadrian secures $260M in Series C capital

Franchise Tech Disruptor Alert! Welcome to Eye on Franchising Friday, where today's guest is pioneering the smart home revolution through franchising and acquisition.

Now meet Daisy — the franchise of the future.

In this episode of Tech Talks Daily, I sat down with Joseph Landes, co-founder and Chief Revenue Officer at Nerdio, to explore how one conversation at a Microsoft conference led to a billion-dollar cloud automation company. From his 23-year career at Microsoft to building a fully remote team now supporting over five million users, Joseph's story blends strategic risk-taking with deep industry insight. We unpacked how Nerdio grew from a startup idea in 2018 to a company that just secured 500 million dollars in Series C funding. Joseph walked me through the early days of building the business alongside co-founder Vadim Vladimirsky and how they focused on simplifying Microsoft Azure for IT professionals and MSPs. Their goal was clear: make cloud management easier, faster, and more cost-effective through automation and policy-driven governance. But this episode wasn't just about cloud optimization. We also dug into Nerdio's fully remote culture and the intentional design behind it. Joseph shared how initiatives like appointing city mayors, launching the Nerdio Break Room, and hosting an annual global kickoff have helped maintain a strong sense of community and accountability across 350 remote employees. We also discussed why Nerdio does not compete with Microsoft. It enhances and extends Microsoft's products, helping customers navigate Azure complexity while staying aligned with Microsoft's fast-changing roadmap. This customer-centric strategy, coupled with deep product knowledge and agility, has been key to Nerdio's ability to scale without losing focus. Looking ahead, Joseph shared his perspective on why AI and continuous cost optimization will shape the future of enterprise IT. He made a strong case for simplifying IT operations, empowering professionals, and turning savings into reinvestment opportunities. In an era of complexity and noise, Nerdio's growth story is a reminder of what can happen when you combine deep platform expertise with a culture that truly listens. How is your organization turning cloud complexity into an advantage rather than a barrier?

“When a patient comes in for a routine outpatient echo, we’ll be able to help with diagnosis and reduce the misdiagnosis at that point, number one,” Ultromics’ Founder and CEO Ross Upton explains to Bloomberg Intelligence analyst Matt Henriksson about the initial benefits of EchoGo for heart failure and cardiac amyloidosis. In this episode of the Vanguards of Health Care podcast, Upton also delves into the future of diagnosing and treating heart failure with artificial intelligence, saying it can additionally “really accurately phenotype them, and so the clinician would understand after the echo is done what treatments or what next diagnostic tests the patient needs, and they would understand it there and then without having to go through and try and figure out the pieces of the puzzle.” Also tune in to learn how Ultromics plans to use to recently announced Series C financing as it commercializes EchoGo for heart failure and cardiac amyloidosis.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

On this week's episode, Moe comes out hot and spills on "Coldplay-Gate," that viral kiss-cam fiasco where a couple (turns out, cheating execs from Astronomer) bolted like they saw a ghost. It's not just gossip—it's schadenfreude gold, highlighting how the C-suite plays by different rules. Joel highlights ZipRececruiter's most recent marketing strategy: Embracing old school linear TV by sponsoring a new show on Fox. Chad rants about the new $250 "integrity fee" for US tourist visas—because nothing says "welcome" like a cash grab that could tank tourism before the 2026 World Cup. Ashby news brings the fire, snagging a whopping $50M Series D, doubling customers (now 2,700+ like OpenAI and Shopify), boosting revenue 135%, and barely dipping into last year's Series C. Why more cash? To evolve "at the speed of AI," building all-in-one recruiting magic—sourcing, scheduling, analytics—that users call "beautiful software." No more tool sprawl; it's the startup darling dethroning clunky vets like Greenhouse. Chad's verdict: Finally, an ATS nobody bitches about—refreshing in a moan-fest industry! Then, drama alert: Bold snatches Monster and CareerBuilder assets for $28.4M in a bankruptcy auction (up from a start of $7M). Great domains, SEO juice ... but Bold's predatory paywalls (mandatory sign-ups, fees for full job deets) scream "job seeker trap." Chad's not thrilled—hopes they don't prey harder with that Monster muscle. Randstad? Total villains. They boast $5.8B revenue and 3% EBITDA margins, but screw Monster employees worldwide. Days before mass layoffs, they gutted severance: From 1.5 weeks/year (up to 16) to a flat two weeks. Imagine losing $28K if you're a 20-year vet! In France, it's worse—brutal shutdowns, no support, leaving taxpayers footing unemployment bills. Vendors? Stiffed millions after Monster ran up tabs they knew were doomed. Chad's furious: "Corporate welfare at its finest." Until CEOs like don orange jumpsuits, the little guys get proper f***ed. AI corner: Perplexity's CEO says says recruiter jobs are soon to be a thing of the past, and Salesforce's Mark Benioff probably agrees, as his company is doing up to 50% or more with less. Moe's skeptical: "Hype to sell shares!" Chad sees task automation (bye, scheduling drudgery) but demands AI taxes and UBI pronto. Jobs evolve, but painful contractions ahead? We'll be watching.

I love the movie City Slickers.If you're unfamiliar, Billy Crystal is a Manhattanite, has a midlife crisis, and goes out West on a cattle drive to try to figure life out.Spoiler alert, the crusty old cowboy teaches him that the secret to life is – ‘One thing. Just one thing. You stick to that and everything else don't mean shhh…” Well, you get the idea.It struck me that this is a great brand lesson as well. You've seen the stats – our ideal customer simply gets hammered with messages every day. And there are so many things your internal team could work on. How to break through the noise?

I try not to write about Substack itself on Substack too often—I know it can feel a bit too meta. But as a writer in this space, I'm invested in how the platform evolves, especially as more writers are finding both a community and livelihood here. At a time when authors' salaries are shrinking, AI technologies are rapidly advancing, and many people I care about in publishing are being made redundant, it's hard to ignore how much the landscape is shifting.Yesterday, I was offered some interview time with the co-founders of Substack Hamish McKenzie and Chris Best. I don't interview many people these days—it's been years since I swapped my podcasting and journalism work to focus on writing more fiction and nonfiction books—but Substack is an interesting place, and they had some news to share.Today, Substack announced $100 million in new funding. I don't know much about the running of big companies—I'm a solo worker, and I like it that way—but I've always assumed big investment means big targets and more pressure. Still, this feels like a turning point for the platform. Clearly they're aiming to go big or go home. During the interview, I kept my focus simple: What does this mean for us writers?In their blog post today: they assure us that they want to help people build “livelihoods based on trust, quality, and creative freedom.” They want to help us protect our “independence, amplify [our] voices, and foster deep and direct relationships.”I asked them some direct questions: What do you do with $100 million investment? How do you plan to grow? What lessons are you taking from what went wrong at Twitter (X)? Are Notes cannibalizing the Substack newsletter model? And ultimately—what are you hoping to achieve longterm? How will you help writers and artists make their stuff and get paid?There are plenty of writers who are more interested in the business side of things than me and will continue to watch it all unfold—I just want to use this platform to write and live my quiet, happy life. But I'm glad I had the chance to have this conversation and share it with you, because I care deeply about the empowerment of writers and artists—and right now, we're in the middle of something pretty exciting. Hope you enjoy the interview! Big thanks to Hamish and Chris for their time xoxoInterviewing the co-founders of Substack, Hamish McKenzie and Chris Best:EMMA GANNON: First of all, I want to say thank you, because, you know, the media industry was quite demoralising before you guys came along. CHRIS BEST: Thanks, and thank you for using Substack.EMMA: Never a dull day in your offices. On that note, you've got some quite big news.CHRIS: Yeah, we're announcing $100 million in Series C funding led by investors at Bond and The Chernin Group with participation from Andreessen Horowitz and Rich Paul. You know who Rich Paul is? The CEO of Klutch Sports Group.EMMA: As in, Adele's Rich Paul? I saw her in Las Vegas last year, and then went deep into Google. CHRIS: Funny the many different paths to knowing who Rich Paul is. Also Jens Grede who's the CEO co-founder of SKIMS, and Mood Rowghani from BOND is joining the board. Basically, we're just thrilled. It's very exciting. There's something kind of special happening on Substack. We're building the plumbing for it. We're building the tools, technology and network and the bits that enable it, but it's really sort of you and everybody that's using the platform that's willing this thing into the world. Now we have this massive set of resources to make this thing the biggest and best version that it can possibly be.EMMA: Lots of people who follow my newsletter are solo entrepreneurs. They don't have teams, they don't necessarily have targets, they don't build the platforms but want to make things. For you, what happens next? Where do you put the money? I'm assuming you hire more people and make a better platform?CHRIS: Yeah, this gives us a chance to look really long term at what the biggest and best version of this thing that we're building can be. To build a company that can move fast enough and well enough to realise the biggest version of that. And so it means investing in the teams who are building the tools, building the network, helping writers and creators succeed.EMMA: What about learnings from other tech companies and learning from the past? In 2013, I was in Twitter HQ in London with my little mug with the bird on, and having an amazing time. And, well, we all know what happened to that. I was so sad about the decline of a great place. Do you keep that in mind? All of the stuff that other social networks got wrong?CHRIS: Yeah, we try to learn from what other people have done. We've learned what other people have got wrong and what other people have got right. You know, one of our core theories we have at Substack is, ultimately, you want to have a business model that's aligned with the values of what you're building. We make money when writers and creators on Substack make money. They make money when they're doing the work they believe in. I think that's maybe one of the most important lessons we've taken from some of the first generation social networks: they had these really lofty ambitions (and in many cases, quite good goals) but then wound up with these business models, which, on the one hand, were massively successful, but on the other hand, kind of pulled against the interests of the human beings who are using the networks.EMMA: How do you maintain that human element that makes everything so special at the beginning, when something grows? Because on one hand, it's like, I want everyone to know what Substack is, and on the other hand, it's like the cool band that I feel like I discovered, and I don't want people to come in and dilute it!CHRIS: We're trying to make something that is, essentially, a positive sum game. Some people have this feeling like, oh, man, if some well known person comes to Substack, or somebody else on Substack is really succeeding, that must be taking away from me, because there's this limited set of attention and money and universe. I think people (especially coming from from media over the past few decades) have this feeling of like, Alright, there's a declining share of resources, and I need to grab my piece of it. But the thing that I think is special about Substack is that it's positive, right? As more people come in, more people participate. It's this pie that's actually growing, and the more that it grows, the more benefit it can throw off for everybody. HAMISH MCKENZIE: And the better the pie tastes. It's not just a crappy pie, it's gonna be a delicious, nutritious pie.CHRIS: And it can't be just for cool people. It can't just be for any sort of one group. Not for Substack to be the place that's like, Oh, this is where the cool literary scene is, or this is where the in the know politics people hang out, or this is where the musicians are making something interesting, but rather, for us to build a platform that has enough structure that all those spaces can exist.EMMA: Yeah, that's so well put. I love that. Because even though I'm sure there is a small top percentage of people earning the most on Substack, wouldn't it be amazing if there is the ability for everyone to maybe have a lovely income stream through Substack, if they want to?CHRIS: Yeah. I mean, you want the tools to take payments, and then you want to be able to grow. We sometimes joke that the product proposition for Substack is, we'll do everything for you, except the hard part.EMMA: The hard part as in coming up with the ideas?CHRIS: Making the creative work that is actually valuable.EMMA: It's also the joyful part.CHRIS: We want to make like a machine that makes everything else magically work.EMMA: The recommendations network within Substack is the best thing. I talk about it all the time. So many of my new readers come from the inner network of Substack, and that's incredible. I have noticed a little bit of a plateau though. I know things can't grow like crazy forever. Are you working on more tools to foster this growth within the Substack eco-system?CHRIS: This is a huge focus for us. This is why the Substack app is a crucial part of the strategy. We think a lot about not just the volume of growth, but the quality of growth. Like, are you getting subscribers that are going to want to read you? Are you getting subscribers that want to pay? You know, the core of the Substack is really the value of that subscription relationship. EMMA: I do love the app, but I also want to make sure that I write and I sit at my desk and I think about things deeply. And I want to sit at my desk and write, and think about the world. On the app, sometimes I do end up mindlessly scrolling, and I'm like, ‘Oh, this is what I wanted to escape from on other social media.' Do you think Notes takes attention away from the deeper essays or long reads that we want to read?CHRIS: You know, originally the Substack app was just a quiet reader app. Instead of reading things in your inbox, you can read them in this quiet, nice space. That was kind of like a cool tool. But what it didn't do is help you discover new things, and it didn't help you grow. It just meant that you had to go to other places, like Twitter, Instagram, LinkedIn, Reddit, and you were sort of dependent on these other networks to actually fill that need of discovering and reaching out and being part of the discourse. So the real advantage of the Substack Notes feed, is: we want to make something that's fun and engaging, that you actually want to go to and spend some time on—but so that you discover things that you fall in love with, enough that you might want to pay for them.EMMA: I love following you on Notes and what you're up to. You also get so many people being like “add this/do this/change this.” Is it cool to be in a position now where you've got, like, a shopping list of things to upgrade?HAMISH: Yeah, our build list is just going to be determined by the things that people tag us about in Notes. [laughs]EMMA: It must be annoying. [laughs]CHRIS: Well, I always appreciate getting feedback, and I always appreciate people telling us what they're feeling and how it's working. I will say that lobbying for things on Notes is not effective.EMMA: That's a good tip. Is there anything that you're excited about personally right now? To do with Substack?CHRIS: There are lots of things. One thing is this Live product that we've been building. The idea of the Live product is I can have something that basically feels like a FaceTime call. It's as simple as just calling somebody up, but it magically turns into a collaborative Live moment where we can both grow and then have a longform podcast artefact that can go in a podcast app or on YouTube. HAMISH: I'm really excited about the development of this network that is now established. It's not the largest network on the internet, but it's established, and it's growing, and it has so much potential, that could serve as the core for an entirely new cultural ecosystem (a challenger to the ones that have dominated for the last 10 years). We had high hopes for them, but they've ended up—in most cases—disappointing us or dividing us. And so that this is now established, and we get a ton of resources now to go and recruit more and more people to this revolution. That is thrilling to me.EMMA: At the Substack summer party in London, I looked around and it was full of TV presenters and radio DJs and documentary makers and authors, these amazing people. And I think it was Ted Gioia who said “the talent base of Substack is the impressive thing”. Do you want to focus on that retention of these types of people on the platform?CHRIS: Yes, it's very exciting when established names come to Substack, but it's also very exciting when a new generation of people can make those names for themselves and get their start. You know, who did not come from having some famous media job or having some being a bestselling author. If you're a young person right now who has the ambition to make something great, I think it would be very easy to look at the world and think: how can I find my way into that (media) world? EMMA: I think that's so true, and that's why the engine that you're building is so important, because we all know the feeling of starting something and then it's just in a vacuum. No one sees it, no one's engaging with it. So yeah, I love that you're focusing on making things discoverable for people. HAMISH: Yeah, that's the game. That's the game we're trying to play here. Bring people together, convene about culture, and then help them find each other.EMMA: I saw the Airmail piece about Sophia and Matt in your events team — it very cool, very chic — essentially profiling members of your team. It's basically saying “this is the cool place to be”. I love that Substack do events, is that something you want to continue doing?HAMISH: I think representing the Substack culture and values in the real world, as well as just on the internet (not that the internet's not the real world), but having a place where people come together and enjoy culture together and have these meaningful shared experiences, there's very much a continuation of the ethos that lies at the heart of the platform. Sophia Efthimiatou and Matt Starr (who have been responsible for the incredible events a large number of them, at least in New York) in particular embody the spirit of people who really value culture.EMMA: I sense a deep rooted motivation from you both, I always have, from the start, that this platform feels slightly different. There's an integrity and a really great energy. What is your ultimate goal for Substack? Is it just to continue on being a great place, or do you have a specific moment that you are hoping to reach in the next few years?CHRIS: I think we're living through a period of profound change right now. I think there's new technology coming online that's changing everything. I think there is social and cultural and geopolitical change, and those things come with problems and peril. You know, when you have massive technological shifts, there's always downsides, there's always things that come up, but there are also massive opportunity. I think of it as like building the plumbing that enables a renaissance. We want to build a successful, independent company that can power that thing to be the biggest and best version of itself.HAMISH: It's not about a particular moment. Just every day that the network gets bigger and better and then more and more people can succeed as a result is a next celebration for us. This is a long term work in progress where we're not looking for a specific business outcome or a specific even ecosystem outcome. It is a living and breathing culture.EMMA: Thanks so much for your time. I feel very invigorated at the moment, and a large part of that is the empowerment I feel to be paid for my work in such a direct way via Substack. As much as I love being traditionally published as a writer, I think one day I'm going to look back and think it is kind of crazy that I have to go into a building to record an audiobook, be ‘picked' as a person that's allowed to do that, and then be paid money in royalties. I don't think we're quite grasping how revolutionary life is for writers/creators right now. I hope you have a good week and look forward to seeing you again soon.HAMISH. Thank you, Emma. Thanks for showing the way for others as well. You're a huge leader on the Substack platform and an advocate for a different way of thinking about things. This is a public episode.

AI investments hit $110 billion in 2024, and the funding landscape in 2025 is more competitive than ever. For early-stage startups, that means more money in the market but also more pressure to stand out. At TechCrunch Sessions: AI, Rebecca Bellan sat down with three experienced investors: Jill Chase, Partner at CapitalG; Kanu Gulati, Partner at Khosla Ventures; and Sara Ittelson, Partner at Accel. They broke down what they are really looking for when evaluating AI startups from seed through Series C. Their message to founders? Forget the perfect pitch. Focus on building trust, surviving the hype cycle, and being ready for copycats the moment you find product-market fit. Listen to the full episode of Equity to hear about: Why VCs say founders are over-indexing on pitch decks instead of relationships What it takes to go up against big incumbents without getting crushed Why consumer focus (and speed) still win, even in B2B AI How agents and automation are already reshaping the startup playbook Equity will be back Friday with our weekly news roundup, so stay tuned.

Send us a textWhen automation fails, it fails spectacularly—and at scale. The recent Google Cloud outage that took down over 54 global services for more than seven hours demonstrates this perfectly. A simple error—blank fields in automated policy updates—cascaded into widespread failures affecting millions of users worldwide. This episode dives deep into what went wrong, how it happened, and what it means for cloud resilience in the AI era.We also explore Cisco's dramatic pivot at Cisco Live 2025, where they've committed to refreshing their entire hardware stack and integrating AI throughout their ecosystem. Their new LLM called Deep Network suggests a future where networking infrastructure makes intelligent decisions autonomously. We discuss whether Cisco can deliver on these promises and what the unification of their Meraki and Catalyst lines might mean for customers.The Ultra Ethernet Consortium has finally released their 1.0 specification, establishing a comprehensive standard for high-performance computing environments. This 600+ page document marks a significant milestone in creating viable alternatives to InfiniBand for AI workloads. Meanwhile, Network-as-a-Service pioneer Meter secured $170 million in Series C funding, raising questions about the actual size and sustainability of the NaaS market.On the cybersecurity front, we examine two concerning developments: the mass exodus of leadership from CISA during heightened threat conditions, and a novel zero-click vulnerability in Microsoft 365 Copilot that can expose sensitive data without any user interaction. This "Echo Leak" vulnerability demonstrates how AI systems that automatically scan content create entirely new attack vectors that organizations must defend against.Join us for a fast-paced discussion about these pivotal developments in cloud computing, networking technology, and cybersecurity.

Vì sao một vật lại có hình dáng như vậy? Vì sao âm thanh bên thác nước lại khiến ta xúc động? – Chỉ một câu hỏi nhỏ nhưng nếu thật sự lắng nghe và quan sát, ta có thể mở ra cả một thế giới.Trong tập 02 của YOU NOW WE NOW, Giáo sư Phan Văn Trường đã chia sẻ góc nhìn của Thầy về tự học như một cách sống: Tự học không chỉ để giỏi nghề, mà còn để hiểu sâu, sống đẹp, sống có ý nghĩa hơn.- Học không phải để thi, mà để biết mình đang sống thế nào.- Tự học là tu, là quan sát, là kiên nhẫn, là biết dừng lại và hỏi “tại sao?”- Và chính điều đó làm nên sự khác biệt giữa người sống tỉnh thức và người chỉ trôi qua cuộc đời.Một phút lắng nghe có thể khiến bạn bắt đầu một hành trình học tập với tâm thế hoàn toàn mới.Đăng ký theo dõi Cấy Nền Radio: https://www.youtube.com/c/CayNenRadio--------------------------------ツ Kết nối với Cấy Nền Radio:► Tik Tok: https://www.tiktok.com/@caynenradio► Fanpage Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/caynenradio► Youtube duy nhất: https://www.youtube.com/@CayNenRadio► Spotify: https://bit.ly/CayNenRadio_Spotify ► Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/company/caynenradio► Group Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/groups/CayNenRadio/✔ Bản quyền Video thuộc về CẤY NỀN RADIO | Không re-up dưới mọi hình thức.Mọi vấn đề về bản quyền xin liên hệ:☞

In this episode of the SaaS Revolution Show, Alex Theuma sits down with Marcus Ryu - Co-founder of Guidewire and now a Partner at Battery Ventures - for an honest conversation about the highs, lows, and hard lessons of building and backing SaaS companies. Marcus shares how he went from pursuing a career in academia to leading a billion-dollar business, what it felt like to face years of rejection, and why he believes true founders don't chase easy wins — they lean into hard problems. He also talks candidly about the realities of being a CEO, the shift into venture capital, and whether AI is truly as transformative as it's hyped to be.Check out the other ways SaaStock is helping SaaS founders move their business forward: 

In this episode of SaaS Fuel, Jeff Mains sits down with Uddhav Mehra and Harry Masters from The Inflection Group to unpack one of the most common mistakes early-stage SaaS founders make—hiring the wrong people too early. We explore why big-name hires from large enterprises often flop in scrappy startups, the power of hiring gritty operators over shiny resumes, and how to create a strategic, stage-appropriate hiring roadmap. If you're looking to scale without bloating your team or burning your cash, this episode is packed with insights on founder-led sales, hiring for impact, and building elite go-to-market teams that actually work in real-world startup conditions.Key Takeaways00:00 – Don't hire a VP of Sales yet?

Most execs don't." – Uddhav Mehra"Marketing isn't a person. It's a function made of 10 roles. Know what you actually need." – Jeff MainsSaaS Leadership LessonsDon't hire too senior too soon – Early-stage startups often mistake brand-name experience for startup grit. Hire for stage fit, not prestige.Enterprise sales ≠ enterprise strategy – A better early move: founder-led sales + 1 top enterprise rep who's hungry to win.Start with goals, not job titles – Instead of saying “we need a VP of Sales,” define what outcomes you need and build a strategy around that.Hiring evolves with your growth stage – What works at Series A won't work at Series C. Update your hiring playbook accordingly.Avoid "Frankenstein job descriptions" – Roles like “Marketing Person” often disguise unrealistic expectations across 5–6 different functions.Great hiring is strategy, not speed – A structured, multi-step hiring process reduces misfires and builds long-term alignment.Guest ResourcesEmail - harry@theinflectiongroup.comWebsite - https://www.theinflectiongroup.com/Harry's Linkedin

Arvind Parthiban, CEO of Super Ops, discusses the company's growth strategy following a recent $25 million Series C funding round. With a focus on artificial intelligence (AI), Super Ops aims to enhance its platform for managed service providers (MSPs) by developing innovative features that streamline IT management. Parthiban emphasizes the importance of being close to customers, revealing plans to relocate the leadership team to the U.S. and expand into European markets. The company is committed to building a strong presence in the MSP sector, leveraging AI to transform service delivery.Parthiban differentiates Super Ops' approach to AI from competitors by viewing it as a foundational element rather than a mere feature. He argues that while many companies are integrating AI functionalities, true differentiation lies in how these technologies are applied to solve real-world problems for MSPs. Super Ops has invested in a dedicated AI team in New Zealand, focusing on creating meaningful tools that enhance operational efficiency and service quality for its users.The conversation also touches on the challenges of data access for AI development. Parthiban acknowledges that while Super Ops has a growing customer base, competitors with larger datasets may have an advantage. However, he believes that the company can still leverage its existing data and partnerships to create valuable AI-driven insights and automation tools. He asserts that the focus should not solely be on data volume but also on the quality and applicability of the AI solutions being developed.Finally, Parthiban addresses concerns regarding Super Ops' marketing strategies, which some MSPs have described as aggressive. He defends the company's approach, likening it to common practices in the tech industry, while also expressing a desire to build trust within the MSP community. He clarifies that while the company is not currently monetizing its AI features, it plans to ensure that MSPs see tangible value before implementing any pricing changes. This strategy reflects a commitment to fostering long-term relationships with customers as the industry evolves.
