What are SREs actually looking for in their tooling? At SREcon, Aqil walked the floor, talked with engineers, and left with clear signals: ✅ On-call overload is real ✅ Human-in-the-loop AI is gaining traction ✅ OpenTelemetry is everywhere (and still hard) Also? Overpromising AI didn’t land—SREs want to be involved, not replaced. As Aqil put it: "They still want to crack the egg themselves."" 👉 Read the full recap for insights on where SRE influence is growing—and where the opportunity lies: https://lnkd.in/gTPwuDgX

👋 Meet Jump Capital’s newest investor: Aqil Pasha. His focus will be on infrastructure software and cybersecurity. From chemical engineering to AWS to venture capital, Aqil’s path has never been linear—but it’s always been about making things possible.

Now at Jump, Aqil is digging into: - Durable workflows for AI-driven automation - The evolving AI agent stack - Solving the AI compute crunch - Data security and privacy (without killing performance) 📍 Based in NYC and building community—over coffee, cricket, and (hopefully) small-group dinners.

Private credit has been one of the biggest success stories in finance over the past 15 years—growing 10X since 2007 to reach $2 trillion AUM. But growth alone isn’t enough. As competition rises and institutional investors scale up their allocations, the next phase of private credit will be defined by operational efficiency—and that’s where technology will play a bigger role. Tarun explains the crossroads private credit finds itself in and describes the potential solutions: https://lnkd.in/gbAaKsTT Are you a founder tackling this?

Early traction is great, but can your startup scale without you in every deal? Recently on Fintech Impact, Jump’s Yelena Shkolnik and Jason M. Pereira break down what separates one-hit wonders from fintechs built to last. Key questions founders need to answer: - Can sales scale beyond the founder? - Is revenue predictable, not just big wins? - Are you building for the long game, not just today’s pain points? If you’re scaling in fintech, give the episode a listen: https://lnkd.in/gHu4SmGi

Can AI Be Your Lawyer? Maybe. But the real question is: When? The opportunity is massive. Millions of Americans face legal issues without access to affordable counsel. And even in B2B, startups balk at $1,200/hour fees for basic legal work. But when it comes to actually practicing law, the barriers are high—thanks to the patchwork of Unauthorized Practice of Law (UPL) regulations across states. Yelena Shkolnik breaks it down in her latest piece: https://lnkd.in/grktx67u - Some states, like Arizona and Utah, are experimenting with loosening restrictions, offering early signs of change. - Others remain firm, making it very hard for AI-driven legal solutions to scale. - Meanwhile, enforcement is a challenge—so some policy may be set in response to the tech companies breaking things.For those still still interested in navigating the space, a few cautionary notes. AI is already shaking up legal research, document automation, and contract review, so consumer LegalTech should be next. If you’re building in LegalTech, we want hear from you.
