“Do we even need salespeople anymore?”   In our latest blog post, TJ Williams shares an operator’s view on what the enterprise sales team of the future looks like and how software companies should be building for it today. He covers why your SDR and BDR functions still matter more than ever, what it means to hire for AI fluency, and why the real promise of AI tools isn't scale — it's focus.   Read the full post here: https://lnkd.in/en9w6cdR

BPC's Mark Dzialga joined Logan Lin on the FinanZe Podcast to discuss the current state of software investing—from separating market narratives from operational reality to how AI is reshaping durability and growth. Listen to the full conversation below.

We just got back from SuperReturn Berlin where we had the opportunity to connect with investors from around the world over the course of 3 days. Four themes stood out from our conversations with global LPs and GPs: → Companies are being stress-tested by AI: Are they positioned at the orchestration layer where decisions are made, or are they vulnerable to LLM disruption? → "Tokenomics" is the new watchword: Running AI inference at scale remains prohibitively expensive, and investors are separating companies with sustainable unit economics from those building unsustainable API dependencies. → Historic IPOs are raising the bar to go public: SpaceX just went public at $1.8T. Anthropic and OpenAI will soon follow. The market is trying to model what happens when this capital cycles back. → Exit paths are narrowing, but adapting: Continuation vehicles are now standard tools, not niche solutions. Strategic acquisitions reward differentiated capabilities. And companies that can't clear any bar face prolonged holds. The private markets landscape is being rewritten in real time – investors are dissecting exactly where value accretes and where businesses are exposed.

Healthcare is one of the hardest industries to change. Physicians resist new workflows, legacy systems slow adoption, and even the best solutions can struggle to scale. So what does it take to build technology clinicians will actually use?   In our latest episode of The BRIGHTON PARKast, Dr. Mark Camel — neurosurgeon and co-founder of one of the most operationally sophisticated independent physician groups in musculoskeletal healthcare — joins Usman Rabbani to share his lessons learned from scaling a seven-surgeon practice into a 175-physician, four-state platform.   From early EMR adoption and workflow redesign to AI-powered clinical documentation and healthcare operations, Dr. Camel offers a rare perspective on where technology is creating real value in healthcare — and where founders consistently get it wrong.   🎧 Listen to the full episode: https://lnkd.in/eBhXNjuQ

Disagreement, done right, leads to better decisions.   In our latest episode of the BRIGHTON PARKast, Drew Pearson, Partner and Portfolio Committee Member at Brighton Park Capital, sits down with Usman Rabbani to discuss what nearly three decades in growth equity has taught him about value creation, risk, and the CEO-investor relationships that actually work.   🎧 Listen to the full episode: https://lnkd.in/e4YN4a7S

When we invested in Orca AI, we believed maritime was one of the most consequential — and underappreciated — frontiers for AI and autonomy.

Congrats to Yarden Gross, Dor Raviv, and the entire Orca AI team!
