It is an honor to be part of the Forbes Midas list for a second year in a row with colleagues whom I have admired for a long time and continue to learn from every day. It is a huge motivation to get better every day and every year. It is also a team effort and a recognition and validation of the great work that the Base10 Team is doing, everything we stand for and the support we get on a daily basis from the founders that chose to work with us, the LPs that chose to back us and the ecosystem that supports us. We believe that you only win if your community wants you to win, so thank you for allowing us to do what we love.

Last week, we at Base10 Partners, along with NFX hosted a gathering of VC professionals to explore how Product, Data, and Engineering are shaping our industry. We welcomed over 30 guests from numerous firms including TCV, Abstract Ventures, Pear VC, ICONIQ Capital, Greenoaks, General Catalyst, First Round Capital, Y Combinator, Greylock, Lightspeed, Sapphire Ventures and Ribbit Capital. The core of our event was the 'Speed Shares' session. Four firms, including ours, demonstrated their use of data and engineering to enhance their investment strategies and workflow. Key Takeaways: Customization is Key: NFX showcased their internal version of otter.ai, demonstrating the substantial value of customizing and fine-tuning an LLM for specific use cases over off-the-shelf solutions.
