Is AI the new catalyst for the next IPO gold rush? 1. Even with the hope around AI as the second coming of the internet, we have yet to see any real influx of AI-inspired IPOs. Rather, we are seeing AI as simply a catalyst for established companies to continue to build new momentum. 2. The parallels between the 90s dot com boom and the COVID-19-era IPO surge are intriguing. Both were viewed as unprecedented periods. 3.History teaches us no boom lasts indefinitely. Eventually, markets normalize, often with bouts of volatility and temporary slowdowns in IPO activity. 4. Interest rates play a crucial role in shaping investor sentiment—higher rates mean a higher cost to borrow for companies. 5. Another observation is that in contrast to the recovery following the 90s, the present IPO market has rebounded more rapidly. 6. unlike the 90s, where the majority of IPOs centered on the internet, the current market showcases variety across various sectors. 7. Today’s companies, though alike in their use of tech tools, are innovating in visibly different ways. 8. Sustaining success in this evolving IPO landscape requires at least a few key elements, not the least of which are profitability or a clear strategy for getting there, and an understanding of what is expected of a public company from a reporting standpoint.

Today, I have some really exciting news to share. NEXT is acquiring Reveall 🎉 And we're insanely hyped about it. Ferdinand, Marcel, and Dwayne started Reveall in 2021 backed by DFF (Dutch Founders Fund) and Fortino Capital. Reveall's breakout success is driven by their mission to let product teams tap their qualitative data for customer insights just as easily as they do with their quantitative data. Clients like Albert Heijn, PostNL, Signify, Papercut, MOOD, and the Dutch Government quickly adopted the platform. We're inspired by their success and the community they've created around #productdiscovery. We've worked hard together in the last few months to pave the way for this acquisition and we couldn't be more excited to finally share the news. From our shared product-led growth (PLG) roots, to our closely aligned missions to help teams turn their customer interactions into product insights, we couldn't think of a better partner as we accelerate our growth at NEXT. It’s incredible to think about the opportunity ahead. A company's success today hinges on how quickly and accurately it identifies new customer needs and ships products. AI is a once-in-a-generation opportunity for achieving this goal by transforming the way product teams collect, consume, and act on customer insights. Whether it’s to validate day-to-day product decisions or big picture ideas, NEXT's AI-powered platform puts product discovery on autopilot to let teams build better products, faster, with a lower spend on development costs. AI will elevate product discovery and democratize access to customer insights that teams need to compete and win. We're just scratching the surface of what's possible with AI and as we scratch, we couldn't be happier to have Reveall on our side. Welcome Reveall to NEXT 💗

I believe in teams that can look at the market and using AI, address specific audience (like GenZs) in a way they consume, buy, and see the world. A good example is Haz They looked at these numbers: 82% of Gen Z think about the resale value of an item before they even buy it. Yet, 47% of items fit for resale remain unsold. And saw the opportunity to capitalize on the rapidly growing demand in resale by using AI technology to scan digital receipts in users’ email inboxes. This removes the annoyingly boring manual element of listing something you own for sale. Once you’ve bought something, you can sell it with a few clicks and zero overthinking required. I'm happy for Glenn Keller, Ronan Harvey-Kelly and the team to raise $1.4M in pre-seed funding. Glad to be a business angel in this story. Mission proprietary tech huge & growing market creative & unique GTM hacks team’s experience. ↑ ↑↑ A formula I’m bullish on.
