Holy crap.
Rick and Morty just explained Jev AI to me better than any tech demo could.
This Jev launch is the very definition of product-market fit and demand PULL. I hope to get access soon!

Hey that's me! Talking about what I do at @TheVentureCity while repping my favorite band @TheWarOnDrugs.
Most VCs don’t have a data team, let alone a Chief Data Officer. But we’re different.
Here is our Chief Data Officer, @dksmith01, explaining what he does here at @TheVentureCity.
#DataAnalytics #VC
I encourage any #startup #founder to try this out and let us know what you think. It's an AI that gives you feedback on your startup, using the insights we have gained in the last six years at @TheVentureCity .
We just shipped our second product 🙌
AHA is our #GenAI product that lets founders get real-world tactics for their startups as if they were speaking to TheVentureCity investment team.
VCs don't really build products for founders, but we do...

Spend less time focusing on "discipline," and more time in things that genuinely pull you forward...
The person who requires internal force, will always get lapped by someone with genuine drive toward that thing.
Obsession beats discipline all day long.

What makes @TheVentureCity unconventional?
If we told you we’d have to… never mind, just watch the video of our fearless leader.

“While the market is getting tighter and the bar for the next round is much higher, we’re also noticing that employees are back to working harder and demanding less than they were 6 months ago”.
