1Mby1M Virtual Accelerator Investor Forum: With Alok Nandan of Emergent Ventures (Part 5)

Sramana Mitra: When they started Observe.ai and when you wrote your first check, they did not have yet a product?

Alok Nandan: They were building something else when they met us. Over the course of the next six months, they iterated and pivoted and eventually arrived at this idea. Initially, we wrote them a small check and then we doubled-down over the course of a year. It was an extended dating period. At the same time, we were actively helping them ideate.

1Mby1M Virtual Accelerator Investor Forum: With Alok Nandan of Emergent Ventures (Part 4)

Sramana Mitra: FinTech is a segment where there aren’t a lot of humans in the loop. One of the great benefits that AI is delivering within FinTech is pre-approved loans within 30 seconds.

Alok Nandan: You’re absolutely right. If it falls within a certain range, then it will automatically get approved. Humans may only get pulled in when there are exceptions to the rule. You can still do some of that fast processing. The human is not reviewing every outcome that the model is doing. It’s only reviewing the exceptions.
