Nagish is a great example of a strong team tackling major problems. The potential impact is immense. This past year, Nagish has achieved incredible milestones. The team kicked things off by securing the FCC certificate, which ensures free access to their phone call solution for the deaf and hard-of-hearing community, and followed that up with a $16M Series A round. Looking forward to seeing what Tomer Aharoni, Alon Ezer and the entire Nagish team achieve next. #dhoh #transcription #accessibility #impacttech

We all know PLG, but have you heard of #DLG? The concept of Data Led Growth explores how to be a #datadriven organization with a clear emphasis on data as a growth enabler. This approach allows startups to focus on what's most impactful, integrating data strategically into their decision-making processes. Earlier this week we hosted the insightful Dorit Salama Sfadyah & Liran Schved from Data Strategy and product expert Limor Segev to a discussion about how startups should manage their data. Some pro-tips that were shared: 🖊 Early Investment in Data: Startups should prioritize data from the outset. Bringing in a data expert early ensures better infrastructure and impactful analysis. 🖊 Scalable Data Infrastructure: Build flexible, scalable data architectures from day one. Avoid waiting until issues arise to implement data management practices. 🖊 KPI-Driven Insights: Define KPIs that go beyond revenue, focusing on client value and engagement. Use these insights to guide product adjustments and drive growth. #StartupSuccess #Innovation #GrowthHacking #product

Unity SCM enables data-driven decision making and operations in #supplychain. Watch Amir Taichman, as he walks us through the data challenges in the supply chain industry today: ❌ Current point solutions rarely talk to each other - Decisions in supply chain tend to be a trade-off between considerations, but with information on trade-offs residing in different places, making that decision becomes challenging. ❌ Trend of outsourcing - creates an additional barrier that leads to data becoming even more siloed. ❌ Lack of options for the mid-market - Large enterprises rely heavy on system integrators, but there lack custom options for the mid-market.

What is the future of #SEO in the age of #GenAI? What would search engines look like? Where should we focus our marketing efforts? How can we work more efficiently by delegating some tasks to AI without producing content that is clearly AI-generated? At this point, there isn't one company that's not incorporating #GenAI in its operations and products. One team that can both profit from and be challenged by the AI revolution is the #Marketing team. That's why we asked Eyal 🔥 Marcus to enlighten us and share some of his predictions & insights with our Vertex portfolio companies' Marketing Executive Circle. Big thanks to Eyal and everyone who joined the conversation. Exciting times ahead for marketing with AI! #AIMarketing #MarketingInnovation #futureofmarketing #Techinnovation Margo Kahnrose Caro Solari Meryl Dzikansky Dan Bloom Daniel Hillyer Sophie Judah Adi Gorelik Yosef Peterseil Raz Vicerabin

Startups that have raised their A round or reached a certain ARR often face similar challenges despite their differences. One of the most pressing questions is, "What's next?" or "How do we scale smartly?" Product teams are pivotal in navigating a startup's growth successfully. That's why we gathered Product Leads from our early-growth startup portfolio for a 3-session workshop with the wonderful Hadas Sheinfeld. The three main challenges we discussed: 1. Managing internal stakeholders (which in turn supports communication with external stakeholders) 2. Getting to know your customers (and how to stay informed when the numbers grow) 3. Growing the team and the product (pinpointing where growth will come from) The hardest questions and the biggest challenges become more manageable when tackled together. We appreciate the wonderful group that formed and looking forward to continue the product discussions.
