More Pre-Seed in PHX _____ Last night, at our PHX FWD 2024 Seed Summit, I announced the launch of phxangels.com. This an experiment funded by PHX Ventures to connect more pre-seed founders in AZ with local accredited investors. This is not an angel group or network - there are several great angel groups in AZ including Arizona Tech Investors, Desert Angels, Canyon Angels, etc. PHX Angels is something different. We want to make it simple and fast for early-stage software companies to get their pitches in front of local, accredited, pre-seed investors. We don't conduct due diligence, or make investment recommendations. We're simply a connector. We hope PHX Angels will encourage more founders to raise their hands and more funders to support local startups. Together, let's make Phoenix a top software city.

Aravind Srinivas Nice and there's lots to like about perplexity.ai that responds conversationally with instant reliable answers to questions and complete sources and citations. It's powered by multiple AI large language models in-house and third-party such as Google’s Gemini, Mistra 7BI, Anthropic’s Claude 2.1 OpenAI’s GPT-4. The choice of models to use is available to users who subscribe to the company’s Pro plan at $20 per month, which provides availability to Perplexity Copilot, which unlocks many features including personal preferences, file uploads and image generation. But this is your best feature 😉 Copilot tailors search queries with custom follow-up questions, introducing the concept of generative user interfaces that removes the burden of prompt engineering and does not require users to ask perfectly phrased questions to get the answers they seek. This enables users to gain more relevant and comprehensive answers than other AI chatbots, traditional search engines, or research tools.

Since June last year, Rainmaking Impact has been on a mission to move the needle on ClimateTech in Europe. Despite 2023 being the toughest fundraising year since the financial crisis, we've had a banner year! We close the year with our first AI co-investment, enabled by our new Raspberry brand. We're still part of the amazing Rainmaking family, but we’ve rebranded to Raspberry to symbolise our shift to a more inclusive and investor-friendly network with a broader investment thesis - continuing with ClimateTech, now including AI, and soon more. We've made seven co-investments this year, with more closing as we speak, including 2 follow on rounds (and two more planned in Q1). We deployed just under 1 million EUR with ca. 50 of our members, including an encouraging number of repeat investors. #syndicate #climatetech #ai #innovation #europe #investing #seedcapital We expect even bigger things next year, with ca. two deals per month covering ClimateTech and AI, and new topics we're already working on. We will stay laser focused on our two value propositions: lowering the pain of closing a first VC round for founders, and accessing VC-led deals in European startups for time-constrained private individuals who can't or won't join local angel networks. The team wishes our portfolio founders, our members and our supporters the very best for 2024. May it be a more peaceful, positive and innovative year!
