I am a firm believer that you need to have actually worked in finance to build a genuinely useful product for finance professionals. Nothing replaces the years of doing the job yourself and understanding the pain points of your customers first hand. Founder-market fit in this space is incredibly crucial. The amount of other founders also building in the emerging AI for Finance startup space who have reached out to me personally for Product or Go-To-Market help is unbelievable. My inbox is flooded with meeting or coffee chat requests, and for a good reason. That is because the finance industry is a completely different world and language. If you never worked in finance you will never know what it’s like turning comments, editing powerpoints slides until your eyes dry out, defending “these numbers look wrong” allegations, staying awake until 3am waiting for due diligence responses, and of course the endless amounts of “pls fixes” from your deal team. It took me years of studying in school to understand the finance industry, and years of working on Wall Street and on deals to understand the space and the problems deal teams face in their day to day workflows. Which is why we are the perfect team to tackle this problem at Invictus. We are excited to work on real 🔥hair on fire🔥 problems for deal teams in the deal execution process of transactions. If you’re curious to learn more about what we are working on and how we can help your investment teams close deals faster, slide into my DM’s or shoot me a note at [email protected] The Invictus team is happy to help you “knockout your due diligence” 🥊✨ More info here: https://lnkd.in/e6JkeUWr I'll post my thoughts on the Emerging AI for Finance Startup Landscape soon, so stay tuned! 👀 #PrivateEquity #VentureCapital #GrowthEquity #DealExecution #DueDiligence #WallStreet #AIforFinance #InvestmentBanking #FutureOfWork #AI #B2BSaaS #verticalsaas #Fintech #Invictus #startups #foundermarketfit #earlystagetech #NewYork
