Great start to #OpenCloud this afternoon -- got a shot with our Marketing Partner Rebecca Buckman after our opening remarks. Looking forward to the rest of today's panels.

Lots of great insights from the conversation between Michelle Zatlyn @cloudflare and @daneldayan at OpenCloud today, including Michelle's perspective on the formula for change. Vision + Pain = Change ... writing that one down. 🖊️

Next up at #OpenCloud, our Operating Partner Max Schireson will discuss operationalizing R&D with gen AI with a fantastic panel: Retool's David Hsu and Vercel's Guillermo Rauch. A timely conversation after this week's OpenAI news, to say the least.

The pivot from the "growth at all costs" era is top of mind for many cloud leaders. We're thrilled to hear the perspectives of Cribl CEO Clint Sharp and Postman CEO Abhinav Asthana in a panel moderated by Morgan Stanley's Michael Grimes next up at #OpenCloud.

"Predictability is the key to sustainable growth" -- well said, Clint Sharp!

"Marc Andreessen said software would eat the world. I say AI will eat all software," per Ali Ghodsi Databricks on an AI-driven future. #OpenCloud

Leveraging AI to build operational efficiencies is a focus for Ali Ghodsi and the Databricks team. "Focus on building an awesome product and selling it... but definitely get [your teams] to use copilots." #OpenCloud

It was great to see so many friends of the firm, long-time and new, at #OpenCloud 2023 yesterday in San Francisco! ☁💙

Always great to hear perspectives on leadership and market trends from Ali Ghodsi.

M&A markets may be bouncing back (see Salesforce's recent $1.9B acquisition of Own) and many founders are wondering whether to consider exit paths or keep building. Looking forward to joining Kamakshi Sivaramakrishnan and Naveen Rao on the Builders Stage at #TechCrunchDisrupt to discuss.
