1Mby1M Virtual Accelerator AI Investor Forum: With Rajeev Madhavan, Clear Ventures (Part 2)

Sramana Mitra: Absolutely. So let me synthesize a little bit. The semiconductor layer is very expensive to do startups in. There’s quite a bit of activity going on there, but for our audience, where our philosophy is more lean startup, bootstrapping kind of activities, this is not really possible to do as it is capital intensive. We work in the capital-efficient domain.

Building a Bootstrapped Unicorn from India: Rajesh Jain, Founder of Netcore Cloud (Part 7)

Sramana Mitra: If you study Adobe’s product strategy, it’s basically a MarTech rollout. You can do the MarTech rollout. Given where we are, if you focus on companies that have more of an AI nuance to really build a cutting edge MarTech AI rollout, I think you have a very interesting opportunity in front of you.

Rajesh Jain: There is one more dimension to this. Compared to AdTech, MarTech has sort of been the poor cousin. About $500 billion is being spent on AdTech for new customer acquisition and existing customer reacquisition. Half of that money is basically being wasted on wrong acquisitions and reacquisition.

Colors: North IV

I’m publishing this series on LinkedIn called Colors to explore a topic that I care deeply about: the Renaissance Mind. I am just as passionate about entrepreneurship, technology, and business, as I am about art and culture. In this series, I will typically publish a piece of art – one of my paintings – and I request you to spend a minute or two deeply meditating on it. I urge you to watch your feelings, thoughts, reactions to the piece, and write what comes to you, what thoughts it triggers, in the dialog area. Let us see what stimulation this interaction yields. For today – North IV
