Ryan Bartley reposted thisRyan Bartley reposted thisRetail and hospitality leaders are being asked to deliver more elevated, technology-enabled customer experiences, all without introducing disruption, downtime, or long-term cost instability. This can ultimately cause very real tension at the front of house. The new HP Engage One G2 All-in-One is designed exactly for that challenge in mind. It brings together modern, streamlined design with enterprise-grade durability and a long lifecycle. This gives businesses a stable platform they can rely on today and evolve over time, without constant hardware refreshes. This launch reflects how HP is thinking about the Future of Work in retail and hospitality. As frontline environments become more digital and expectations continue to rise, success depends on reducing complexity, while maintaining customer satisfaction. The HPS team is bringing hardware, software, security, and services together into a more connected, intelligent platform that keeps operations resilient while enabling better customer and employee experiences. Incredibly proud of the team for this latest add to the portfolio! https://lnkd.in/gzF72DcD

Used intelligently, AI can make interaction with robots more natural, expressive and elegant, improving the user experience. Keeping human emotions at the center, rather than starting fom the technology, this prototype offers a refreshing and more appealing vision of consumer robots for the home. Hats off to Apple.

Ryan Bartley shared thisAI can make Winston Churchill’s demand for brevity a reality. There’s so many great uses of today’s AI tools that are not adopted yet. Let me give you one… If you are a leader in a large company, you inevitably have “business review” meetings - The typical format is a slide deck with +50 pages of densely written words. 2+ hour meetings and you never make it to the end! Before the next meeting, have your chief of staff or the meeting leader use an LLM to rewrite the full deck as a TL;DR memo. The clarity and simplicity will move mountains! #brevity #ai

Ryan Bartley posted thisAI models are being used to improve AI models. Curious if anyone's tossing some automation techniques at that process? Would we get closer to recursive self-improvement aka "AGI takeoff", or a non-event for now? Wonder what's got to be true for the former?

Duckpins is the simple, straightforward way to create, execute, and manage life’s most important documents. Our estate plan package is just $349 for Washington residents in January.

Ryan Bartley liked thisRyan Bartley liked thisIt brings me so much joy to get to celebrate my Kindred Ventures partner Steve Jang on his 3rd appearance on the Forbes Midas List. He's been pushing AI since 2019, diligently and intensely, looking at the evolution of use cases in computer vision, the emergence of GANs and the diffusion, and where LLMs would ultimately change the world. By 2022, when we went all in, we had been studying, investing, and building for years. We try not to structure our team around chasing deals, but on thematic research and deep understanding of technology. Sometimes, that means we will go years without making an investment in a sector. When we grow in conviction, it allows us to focus our bets on earned wisdom. Bets on companies like Perplexity which he made a few months after launch, or fal, before generative media (which was coined by Burkay Gur Gorkem Yurtseven and Steve in our office!) had started to grow, are evidence of this. I'm only slightly biased, but Steve is unique in his obsession with product quality *and* in his ability to help companies get to market. Many people have one or the other of those at the early stage: both is a gift. We love the early stage, and it will continue to be the most important area of venture capital, and where we believe there is the biggest impact. I'm thrilled the market gets to see the fruits of this labor in this recognition, and I'm even more excited about what is to come. Congrats Steve and thank you to all of our incredible founders for the mountains you move every day.

Ryan Bartley liked thisRyan Bartley liked thisI recently joined Salesforce from BCG to tackle what I believe is the hardest problem in enterprise software right now: how do you architect and monetize a platform when the primary user isn't a human? Every enterprise software platform was built on a single assumption: a person sits at a screen. Headless architecture was originally designed to decouple the front-end from the backend for faster web experiences. But something bigger is happening. AI agents don't browse interfaces. They don't need buttons or dashboards. They need MCP servers. When your "user" is an AI agent, headless isn't a nice-to-have architectural pattern. It's the only pattern that makes sense. The companies that win the next decade won't be the ones with the best dashboards. They'll be the ones whose platforms are callable, governable, and composable by machines. If your platform can't be consumed headlessly by an agent today, you're building for the last era. This is what I came here to work on. What's the first enterprise workflow you'd hand to an agent with full API access? #HeadlessArchitecture #AIAgents #EnterpriseTech #AgenticEnterprise #ComposableCommerce

Ryan Bartley liked thisRyan Bartley liked this42 years ago today, I started Dell in a dorm room at The University of Texas at Austin with $1,000 and one simple idea: Listen to customers. Build what they need. Deliver differentiated value. Year one: $6M in sales. FY26: $113.5B in revenue — an all-time record. That growth came from customers who trusted us, partners who built with us, and an incredible Dell Technologies team that never stopped executing. Thank you. 🙏 Now AI is rewriting the rules for every industry and every organization. We’ve seen platform shifts before. We know what it takes to lead through them. We’re built for this moment — and we’re all in. Here’s to 42 years. We'll keep building what's next. Onward🚀 #PlayNiceButWin

Traceloop (acquired by ServiceNow) is joining ServiceNow, and I wrote about why this outcome felt inevitable. When Grand invested, the thesis was simple: AI agents create a new class of blind spot: hallucinations, drift, runaway cost, and that use AI in Production without observability is flying blind. Traceloop built the right answer, in the open, on OpenTelemetry, with founders who had lived the problem firsthand. 500K+ monthly downloads. 60+ contributors, massive adoption of Traceloop's OpenLLMetry project by the observability vendor space, users discovering the product through open-source before ever seeing a sales call. That's the COSS flywheel working exactly as it should. Now that technology becomes part of ServiceNow's AI Control Tower, which is exactly where it belongs as AI moves from experimentation to mission-critical infrastructure. I wrote up the full story, from our original investment thesis to why the ServiceNow fit makes so much sense, in my latest Substack post. https://lnkd.in/gMKhrQFg Congrats again to Nir Gazit, Gal Kleinman, and the entire Traceloop team. Proud to have been part of the journey. #OTEL #COSS #OSS #Observability

Thinking Global from Day One: The reality of US-India GTM To truly scale, your pricing, positioning, and GTM must be geared for global markets early on - especially if your TAM is largely outside India. Over the last decade, I’ve had the opportunity to work closely with B2B Software Founders across India and the US. And while talent and ambition exist everywhere, there’s a key difference that often defines the arc of success: Indian founders consistently showcase world-class product innovation and technical brilliance. However, they often lack avenues to expand globally. Take founders in Israel, for example: they don’t have a large domestic market, so global GTM is their default setting. In India, the growing local market —especially via GCCs (Global Capability Centers) —offers a great testing ground. But it can also keep founders focused on local for too long. The key is to use GCCs as a bridge to global logos, not a destination. This is where we come in. The DVC Advantage offers in-depth operational support, go-to-market expertise, and strategic connections, enabling DVC to catalyze a shift toward global-first thinking. We also bring the power of a carefully curated network of partners and advisors who help with accelerating sales and US market entry. This enables the evolution from local excellence to global leadership, blurring borders and embodying the spirit of a truly cross-border venture firm. For example, Amiya Adwitiya—an advisor at DVC and a member of our Founders’ Council—put it well: “Founders don’t need a hundred intros; they need those ten intros that will actually engage—design partners who’ll co-build, customers willing to vouch and refer, and champions who’ve already cleared the procurement hurdles you’re going to hit. And most importantly, they need sustained, hands-on support after the introduction to drive the opportunity to closure.” If you’re building in India as a US-facing founder, a few practical tips to accelerate your path: - Define your US ICP (and non-ICP): vertical, ACV band, pains, buyer roles, and champion profile. - Localize for trust: US entity, contracts in USD, references in-market (or in-industry), time-zone coverage, and onshore customer success for your first 10 logos. - Sequence hiring: founder-in-market for 2–4 quarters, then a lean US pod (AE + SE/CSM) while SDR/RevOps can stay in India. - Finetune sales: MEDDICC/BANT/other frameworks, mutual close plans, and clear stage definitions to speed up deals & forecast better with repeatable motion. Building for India is good. But building with a global intent —that’s how category leaders are made. Let’s get there, together.
