In this episode I chat with Claire, a VP at GSV Ventures. GSV Ventures have invested in EdTech giants I’m sure you’re familiar with, like Coursera, Class Dojo, and Turnitin. Claire breaks down the essence of GSV Ventures and what their investment thesis is when looking for, what they refer to as, "pre-k to grey" startups. Claire happens to write GSV’s AI news and updates newsletter, so of course we go in depth on how companies are embracing AI, including the intriguing “David versus Goliath” dynamics between EdTech incumbents and new startups. She then shares valuable advice for startups, such as whether to think of AI as a feature or as a platform, and offers key insights on when startups should maybe refrain from implementing AI. Enjoy the episode!
