C10 Labs

"Imagine reducing dispute resolution costs from $100k to just $10k". Our first investment at C10 Labs, Fortuna-Insights, just had their groundbreaking research, "We Built Judge. AI. And You Should Buy It," listed as a Top 10 AI in Law paper on SSRN this year! We spotted the potential early on, and our conviction has been validated. Immensely proud of the Fortuna-Insights team, Kimo Gandall and Kenny McLaren, for this milestone. This isn't just about a paper; it hints at a future of mass private adjudication. This recognition from SSRN underscores the importance of their work and we are proud to be early backers of this team. Building a machine that can automate dispute resolution is a bold vision, and seeing their technical outline and testing show such promise is genuinely exciting. For those looking for high-impact AI ventures, this is one to watch. Reach out to learn more about Fortuna-Insights.

AI and Data Engineering is moving at a dizzying pace for specialists and generalists alike... With the help of Ozair A. from ekai, we brought in a couple experts this week - Alex Arutyunyants, Associate Partner from QuantumBlack, AI by McKinsey and William Lehmann, Founder & GP at Step Function Ventures - to give an audience of the MGMT Boston Operators Club and local engineers an update on the playing field. What'd we learn? 🏄 The goalposts have moved on what it means to be technical 🤔 Data definitions, context and lineage often still resides in people's heads, especially in enterprises. Without that texture, it's impossible to build a scalable AI/ML solution. 😎 Startups/founders should start focusing earlier on UX and design since that may be critical to creating user stickiness. Taste is even more important to building an enduring advantage 📊 Businesses are increasingly using unstructured data - often combining that with structured data - for novel use cases, which is not something that may have been possible five years ago. 🤯 There has also been a functional and org chart shift. We’ve moved from siloed roles to more “full-stack” data people. Engineers are expected to understand models, and scientists need to understand pipelines. The lines have blurred and there’s a new class of hybrid roles: LLM engineers, AI product engineers, and full-stack ML practitioners. Everyone’s being pulled toward full-stack whether they like it or not 😳 What should we do?? 😳 Optimize for your network and cultivate a group of people who have great taste to learn from! AI is making functionality less of a barrier. So having user empathy, knowing what to ship, and when, knowing how to craft a delightful user experience are going to be more important than ever. These are seemingly “intangibles” but there is an absolute craft to them. Do whatever you can to demonstrate thought leadership early. In addition to taste, having the pedigree and credibility to win over customers as a “trusted voice” will really matter. 🧠 Block off a few hours a week to play with new tools and learn too! 🧠 Thanks to our panelists, guests, and C10 Labs (David Berlin, Beth Porter, Shahid Azim & team) for your support!

The hackathon has kicked off with Springboard Enterprises at Amazon Web Services (AWS)!
