Congratulations to three incredible entrepreneurs: Sushanth Raman, Andrew Spencer, and Brian S. Raymond, on their very well deserved induction into the Future 50 List put together by Mario Gabriele. Sushanth is someone I've known for almost a decade. He and Andrew have executed relentlessly in building Pallet, setting ambitious targets and surpassing them every time. They and the Pallet team are bringing modern AI to a complex and fragmented logistics industry, and they've been able to hire the very best to build towards their mission. As described in the Future 50: "Startups operating in unsexy spaces occasionally struggle to attract talent. Pallet seems to have no such problem. The company highlighted its talent density, noting that it had successfully recruited employees from companies like Ramp, Watershed, Scale, Figma, and Rippling. One investor dubbed it a 'Navy SEAL' engineering team." Sometimes, the best markets look uninteresting until the right founders evangelize a shift. With unstructured.io, Brian set out to create the unstructured ETL market when generative AI was unproven, and NLP projects had largely failed everywhere except the most sophisticated companies. Two years later, Unstructured's been downloaded nearly 11m times, has been adopted by a third of the Fortune 500, and serves critical national security workloads in our nation's most sensitive environments. Congratulations to everyone at Pallet and unstructured.io. The best is yet to come! We at Bain Capital Ventures are honored to have been your partners from day one.

Thanks so much, Ty Findley, for having me as a guest on Heavy Hitters: The Digital Industrial Podcast! It was great to chat about: 🏭 Our launch of the Industrial Renaissance practice at Bain Capital Ventures that builds upon our investments in scaled companies like Kiva, ShipBob, FourKites, Inc., Vention and MaintainX and many emerging seed and Series A companies. ✨ The tailwinds that are converging and creating a perfect ecosystem for innovation including unprecedented technological advancements, compounding geopolitical and environmental pressures, public and private alignment, and the new wave of talent entering the space. 🤠 Core insights from 20 years of investing in founders transforming the physical world - namely that the key is still software! https://lnkd.in/eJGR9TkB

Software to Hardware. Banking to Tech. B2B SaaS to ClimateTech. [insert basically anything] to AI. ↔ Career shifts come in all shapes and sizes, but shifting an industry can be challenging, particularly in a tighter hiring market where experience is valued. Over the years, I’ve interviewed hundreds of people who are looking to move into a new industry and I’ve found a few things influence whether or not someone will be successful at making the leap. 1️⃣ Find the thread - If you want to make a change, it’s your responsibility to craft a story that makes sense. Don’t force the person reading your resume or interviewing you to guess why you’re able to make this jump. At MuleSoft, I interviewed a program manager at a non-profit for a recruiting role. Sounds completely unrelated, but throughout the interview, she did the best job showing me how many of the things she had accomplished in her role actually translated incredibly well to recruiting. She took the guesswork out of it for me and actually convinced me over the course of the interview that she knew enough about the job and had enough of the skills that she could make the pivot. As you’re prepping for your interviews, make a list of all the things you’ve done that translate to working in the new industry and make it a point to share those in your conversations. 2️⃣ Do your research - I’m the biggest fan of benchmarking conversations when you’re hiring for a role on your team. The same logic applies here - find people who are experts in the industry you want to pivot into and ask if they’d spend 15 minutes with you so you can get advice on how to pivot. Come prepared with great questions and soak up the trends, lingo, etc. Doing even 3-5 of these calls will make you sound exponentially smarter and better researched for your interviews. 3️⃣ Ask great questions - Basic, surface-level questions, “what’s it like to work here?” indicate you haven’t done your homework and send a red flag that you’re potentially unable to make the shift. At Dropbox, I interviewed an equity analyst from a big bank for an Enterprise AE job. Sounds like quite a jump, but he asked the best questions about the product and company. He understood the role we were hiring for and sounded like he had been in our industry for years. His intellectual curiosity sold us on his ability to make the jump. 4️⃣ Network hard into companies - Part of the challenge in making a career shift is being able to get your story across on why you can make the leap. A reference at the company where you hope to work can do this for you. Maybe it’s not an obvious connection, but see if you can dig deep. For example, you may find a past coworker who knows an investor in a company you’re interested in, and that investor may be able to forward your information, with the appropriate color, to the hiring manager or recruiting leader so you get a proper look. What else have you all seen that’s been useful for those trying to switch industries?

Welcome to the team, Joe DiMento!
Earlier this year, we set out to find a dynamic leader for BCV’s Customer Development team. Ideally, we were looking for someone who could advise early stage founders on how to build sales teams and win customers, but also someone who could open doors with execs at large enterprises and go deep on our latest investing themes at BCV. Ideally, this mythical person would have some experience in venture capital, and maybe a bit of consulting experience as well. Tough challenge, right? We were so fortunate to find all this and more in Joe DiMento - we are thrilled to have him join the team! Check out my post welcoming Joe to Bain Capital Ventures below. https://lnkd.in/e_Ez4VRF
