Dear SaaS Community, Not convinced that 𝗮 𝗖𝗧𝗢 𝘀𝗵𝗼𝘂𝗹𝗱 𝗻𝗼𝘁 𝘄𝗼𝗿𝗸 𝗼𝗻 𝗽𝗿𝗼𝗱𝘂𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗰𝗼𝗱𝗲? How many reasons do you need? I’ll give you 𝗳𝗶𝘃𝗲: 1️⃣ Operational responsibilities conflict with strategic ones.  And, as it goes, operation will then always win, because of continuous commercial pressure. So if, as a CTO, you actively work on code, this will inevitably come at the cost of having to neglect strategic responsibilities. 2️⃣ The “flow” most seniors feel when being deep into coding, is counterproductive to strategic thinking. It absorbs a high percentage of your brain capacity, at the cost of losing track of time and interest in other stuff. Relationships have stranded because of it 😏. Good strategic decision making, out-of-the-box thinking, putting things in perspective, these are all things that don’t happen when we’re “in the flow”. 3️⃣ It’s an unhealthy situation to be a C-level leader and a peer to developers at the same time, due to conflicts of interest for instance. 4️⃣ Dotting the i’s is extremely expensive for a CTO to do, the reality being that the last 10% of your software efforts accounts for 90% of development time. 5️⃣ It’s a much more sustainable growth strategy to empower development teams using your own skills and experience, than to keep doing production yourself. ————————— This is part of an article I wrote to demystify the CTO role, a role that has suffered from the Startup World's hijacking of the role name to describe a Startup's Lead Developer. Although it's perfectly common to call this Lead Dev a CTO, this "Startup CTO" type has tainted the actual role of CTO, and, even if the "Startup CTO" is important in the early stages of a Startup, it's important to keep in mind that an actual CTO is a strategic, business-oriented C-level player, and should be the one bridging the gap between the board and development.

𝟮 𝟭 𝗦𝗼𝗹𝘂𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀 𝘁𝗼 𝘀𝗮𝘃𝗲 𝗼𝗻 𝘀𝗼𝗳𝘁𝘄𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝗖𝗼𝘀𝘁𝘀 Last Thursday, the SAM Summit took place in Paris. 1 topic took center stage: How to save on software? Software is the #1  IT spending category a critical topic for the Comex due to its growing impact on EBIDTA The key drivers for software spending growth are: • Uncontrolled software (Shadow IT) • Unoptimized software spending • Vendor price increases    While solutions exist to ensure software usage is aligned with spend, effectively managing vendor price increases remains unaddressed. 𝟭 - 𝗖𝗼𝗻𝘁𝗿𝗼𝗹𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗦𝗵𝗮𝗱𝗼𝘄 𝗜𝗧 • Shadow IT represents ~ 33% of software stacks • Detecting it is a key step to assigning IT buyers • This is the start of monitoring / optimizing spend • Solutions such as Beamy detect all software usage 𝟮 - 𝗢𝗽𝘁𝗶𝗺𝗶𝘇𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗖𝗼𝗻𝘁𝗿𝗮𝗰𝘁 𝗘𝘅𝗲𝗰𝘂𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 • Around 30% of software licenses are unused • Monitoring actual usage versus contracts is tough • Automating monitoring helps identify opportunities • This enables licenses to be cut when relevant • Solutions such as USU, Zlury exist 𝗦𝗼, 𝘄𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝘁𝗼 𝗱𝗼 𝗮𝗴𝗮𝗶𝗻𝘀𝘁 𝗽𝗿𝗶𝗰𝗲 𝗶𝗻𝗰𝗿𝗲𝗮𝘀𝗲𝘀? What I heard the most on this topic: • We are locked in • We don't have time to challenge renewals • No solutions exist for this While 100% of those who challenged renewals delivered savings, 2/3 of renewals remain unchallenged So we, Vektiq launched an AI-Sourcing platform to ensure you have the most relevant alternatives... ...without extra effort for buyers BATNA is the #1 negotiation strategy according to Harvard, and we deliver it to you. #Software #Sourcing #AI

With AI companies being so young, there is little real expertise on how to grow them. This is why having Rajan lead the efforts at HyperGrowth Partners to launch our AI practice makes a ton of sense: he's one of the few with actual experience at growing an AI company (Cohere) in the past few years. So excited for this 🔥

‘Le Chat’ ‘la platform’ Mistral AI artificial intelligence, France’s Startup Darling, Takes Aim at the US Market : Mistral's edge could come from customers that want to avoid being locked into particular cloud companies “Customers are even saying ‘Le Chat’ and ‘la platform’ It seems that the French touch is having an effect.” opportunity is huge — Bloomberg Intelligence estimated that the software and cloud market in generative AI market could reach $350 billion by 2032 : Mistral is going after OpenAI’s home turf “They do not want to be forced into an AI stack” “They want choices” Mistral released a series of AI models, which power generative AI services, and a ChatGPT-like feature called Le Chat : US manager says businesses are looking for alternatives to Big Tech : will find customers through these partners as well as via direct deals with companies using its open-source models. Open source is one of Mistral’s main selling points : the approach — where the underlying computer code is openly shared and tweakable — as a safer, more versatile method than closed systems offered by OpenAI and others : Mistral’s open-source models on-premises, with data stored in local servers instead of with public cloud providers ---- generative artificial intelligence ---
