Insights into the Cloud Euroscape 2023 - Gen AI

The SaaS Revolution Show

In this episode of the SaaS Revolution Show our host Alex Theuma is joined by Philippe Botteri, Partner at Accel and #SaaStock2023 speaker, who shares insights into the Cloud Euroscape 2023 on Generative AI. "An IPO is primarily a financing event, right? These companies don't need the cash right now because they have a lot of cash on their balance sheet, so there is no need to go public. What is important for me, is for a company to continue to perform, to become really enduring and a category defining company, and I think, to me, that's what is the most important. Then at the right time, they're going to go public... but that's just going to be a milestone in their journey. I think the journey is the most important and making sure that all these companies are going to continue to grow and be category defining."
