I’m beginning to sound like a broken record, but one of my favorite aspects about working at Platform Venture Studio is the constant exposure to fascinating industries. Last week, I had the privilege to represent our portfolio company, SIID Technologies, at the 11th annual UF Law E-Discovery Conference. As if being back at my alma mater wasn’t enough (Go Gators! 🐊), I had the opportunity to learn firsthand from the leading voices in e-discovery about the growing challenges and opportunities in this ever-changing sector. Very proud of our team at PVS and especially SIID’s Founder, Eri O., for all the work they’ve put into creating such a powerful and beneficial tool. P.S. I’m still salty about what they did to The Swamp.. iykyk #ufedisco24
We had a fantastic experience participating as one of this year's University of Florida - Fredric G. Levin College of Law #eDiscoveryConference sponsors. This two-day event served as an intensive course on all aspects of eDiscovery, with insights from top experts in the field. Discussions underscored the importance of our mission at SIID. 🔑 Key insights include: ▪ Data availability is set to skyrocket, outpacing the capacity of any lawyer or legal team to process it without appropriate tools. ▪ We're already in the era of AI in law, and it's here to stay. Making the most of this technology will be critical for anyone involved in eDiscovery. At #SIIDTechnologies, we're proud to develop user-friendly tools that allow attorneys to utilize AI and accelerate their workflows. A big thanks to Professor William "Bill" Hamilton, George Socha, Maribel Rivera, and the many others who played a role in spearheading this important event. Here's to a year filled with innovation and learning, and many more to come! — #SIID #AI #ediscovery #UF #GenAI #legaltech #conference

🔥 Meet The Studio Monday 🔥 The best way to build a Studio is to learn from the success of others. This week, I'm deep diving on Platform Venture Studio. Let's go 👇 Founded during the pandemic by serial entrepreneurs and investors Jeremy Burton and Tim Connors, Platform Ventures is a unique Studio with a proven track record of success. Platform’s executive team funded the company with ~$1.5M of their own capital throughout that first year. They took this time to do the work: learning the Studio model, building a team, and developing key playbooks. They then launched a successful 3 year fund and raised $11M 🎉 Key Stats: ⚡️ Launched: Septemer 2020 ⚡️ Location: fully remote ⚡️ Niche: sector agnostic but business model specific: marketplace businesses. ⚡️ Themes: Climate, The New Economy, Social Justice, Civic Engagement ⚡️ Key Resources: product development, growth, recruiting talent and building teams, and finance (+ I would add capital and connections - the Platform Ventures team is very well connected with investors and early adopters which makes new venture creation and scale very efficient) ⚡️ Structure: Dual Entity (Studio + Fund) ⚡️ Spend per Startup: ~$500k from ideation to spin out (~12-14 months) ⚡️ Equity: Platform earns 40% equity and pays founders a living wage while in the Studio ⚡️ Fund Lifecycle: 3 years (13 startups in the current cohort) ⚡️ Cohort Success Record: 5 startups have raised institutional funds and 3 have raised angel rounds (~$15M+ in portfolio funding so far) ⚡️ Accepts Submissions? Yes, Platform encourages aspiring founders to sign up on their site and post the idea as an Unmet Need Platform Ventures is very selective about who they work with as they’re very high touch - here's a breakdown of their process 👇 ➡️ Stage 1: during the early engagement phase only 1 in 20 founders make it ➡️ Stage 2: once chosen, an EIR agreement is signed and a 6-week trial period begins. Only 50% of startups from this round make it to stage 3. ➡️ Stage 3: MVP development begins and products are created + tested with the market. This phase can take anywhere from 4 to 12 months and of the startups that reach this phase, 75% go on to Stage 4. ➡️ Stage 4: this is where startups raise external funding and spin-out of the Studio. Key Success Factors: 🔑 Kill most ideas early by developing and adhering to your innovation process and stage gate criteria. 🔑 Pick a niche where repeatable processes are a competitive advantage. Marketplace businesses are hard to get going (🐣 and 🥚 problem) but when you do it successfully and learn from each iteration, the launch and scale process becomes extraordinarily efficient. 🔑 Platform's founders attribute their this remote-first model with their hyper focus on "people data". Studios are talent businesses, you must stay on top of morale and culture to succeed. If you’re building a marketplace/ platform business, you now know where to go!
