In this engaging episode, we will delve into critical themes shaping the landscape of technology investment and value creation during times of uncertainty.
From the adoption cycle of Generative AI to its impact on software companies, we'll discuss how enterprise software businesses differentiate themselves in a competitive market and the strategies for encouraging AI adoption within portfolio companies.
So, join Moonfare’s Founder and Co-CEO, Dr Steffen Pauls, as he hosts this unique Deal Talk episode.
