How has big data background at Palantir prepared you to be an investor?

JULIA - At Palantir, I deployed enterprise software at leading institutions to enable large-scale analytics in industries like aerospace, finance, and manufacturing. These complex projects required me to identify the highest impact strategies for our customers, and trained me to be analytical and methodical. They offered me the chance to see how large enterprises think about data and digitalization and to understand their core pain points. Palantir provided great context for assessing the difficulties B2B enterprise businesses face with regard to sales cycles, impact attribution and operationalization.

What type of companies are you excited about?

JULIA - Because of my background in math, engineering and big data, I'm most interested in companies with a strong analytical or technical component. I mainly focus on B2B SaaS and fintech, but I'm genuinely curious and always happy to learn about other sectors.

I work with founders across Europe, but I especially enjoy spending time in France, where I grew up. It is a market that has seen a real renaissance in the last few years.

What do you look for in AI investments?

ERIN - My experience leading Product at Palantir helped shape how I think about AI and more specifically machine learning. Even though the field has advanced so much in the last few years, I think the core principles have remained the same. Effective AI starts with a workflow that combines "human-shaped tasks" with "computer-shaped tasks" and builds a product experience that allows that workflow to feel more and more magical over time as a model learns from the human-generated data. Everything else - all the neat technical underpinnings that I love to geek out over - are just details, subservient to the core workflow. The developments I'm most excited about in this space are (1) the movement from async to real-time workflows and (2) the massive improvements to pre-trained models which can help teams get started right away, without a dedicated data science org and a lot of labeled data.

What are the characteristics of effective teams?

ERIN - I spent years leading teams before becoming an investor so I like to get into the weeds of how to build high-performance cultures. One of my (maybe more controversial) frameworks is that good teams are either machines or cults, and you should know which one you're building. With both, you're looking for an output that is greater than the sum of its parts, but the patterns of work, structures, and even types of people you hire can be radically different. Cults tend to have a unifying mission that drives everyone but beyond that, they're often chaotic and lack a formal structure. Leaders rise and fall as they assert true ownership over problems they are passionate about, and productivity comes in waves. Machines have a lot more structure, people are motivated by a set of goals and work together with a clear understanding of their role as part of a whole. I've found that a lot of company growing pains come from not having a clear idea of what type of organization they are building.

What motivates you as an investor?

ERIN - Becoming an investor was never on my to-do list and Venture Capital can often devolve into the type of echo chamber that I've always tried to avoid. But as I was thinking about how to maximize my impact post-Palantir on problems I care about - e.g. security, privacy, AI that supports the dignity of human work, climate - VC sort of pulled me in almost out of necessity. It wasn't an easy transition from operating to investing because you lose the day-to-day, week-to-week output that helps you measure progress. Investors love to try to mimic that, but as much as we might tell ourselves otherwise it's not the same as the satisfaction of shipping something to a customer that creates value. That said, now that I've been at this for awhile, I can't imagine doing anything else. Even on my darkest days, when I'm worrying about the future of humanity, the founders I meet who are tackling real and complicated and not always black-and-white challenges give me hope. Their bravery is inspiring and incredibly motivating.

How do you spend your time outside of work?

ERIN - I grew up in rural Arizona and have always felt most at home in wide open spaces. So when I returned to the bay area after a stint in London, my partner and I moved to an off-the-grid property in unincorporated Marin County, north of San Francisco. We have 10 acres which comprises protected forestland plus a small farm, and are trying our hand at a kind of millennial version of homesteading. Sometimes I'll be on a call with a founder and a bobcat or a family of deer will walk by my office window, which I love. But it also means that a lot of my free time is spent figuring out how to prevent the wilderness from fully taking over. It's not always convenient - there's no Doordash or Uber and we worry about wildfires and the well running dry - but living so close to nature helps me keep things in context.

What was the vision behind the founding of Index Ventures in 1996?

Neil - At Stanford, I used to help one of my buddies out with his part-time job summarizing business plans for a VC firm, and I realized that working with founders was what I wanted to do. Our thesis for Index was that great founders would eventually emerge everywhere, that we'd understand the challenges they'd face, and that we'd be uniquely equipped to help them in both Europe and the U.S. Starting in Europe was a contrarian move, but we knew it was crucial to the development of our portfolio to stay connected with Silicon Valley, and we ultimately set up a base in San Francisco.

Why do you find working with founders to be so rewarding?

Neil - People with a strong sense of purpose resonate with me, and if I'm excited about their mission, I'm eager to help them any way I can. I'm particularly interested in the way founders place themselves in the mindset of future customers, and how that informs critical choices in terms of product, business model and organizational structure. You can have conversations about solving problems with anyone, but entrepreneurs actually intend to do something about it. That's what makes them special.

What legacy would you like to see Index define for itself?

Neil - I'd love to see Index continue to serve an LP base of non-profit foundations and endowments focused on education, healthcare, research, and other mission-based organizations. The returns they'll derive from investing in our funds will bolster their endowments and fuel their missions even further in the service of humanity. Beyond that, I believe the principles that define Index are built to last, but that the firm will also adapt and remodel itself so that it is best suited to partner with the most capable and audacious entrepreneurs of the future.

На думку генерального секретаря НАТО Єнса Столтенберга, Україна вже успішно реагує на загрозу з повітря, а допомога від союзників поступово буде компенсувати старі системи й підвищувати захист.

Як повідомляє "Європейська правда", про це він сказав в інтерв'ю програмі Conflict Zone на Deutsche Welle.

"Думаю, зброя, яку ми зараз поставляємо, має величезне значення. Українці вже досягли успіху, збивши багато російських ракет і безпілотників. У майбутньому ситуація зміниться ще сильніше - зараз активізуються союзники", - зазначив генсек.

Він нагадав про нещодавно передану Німеччиною передову систему IRIS-T та обіцянки США і ще деяких союзників щодо протиповітряних систем і боєприпасів після останньої зустрічі формату "Рамштайн".

Столтенберг додав, що надана Заходом допомога від початку зіграла значну роль у тому, що Росія так і не змогла встановити панування в повітрі над територією України, а це вплинуло на успіх всієї кампанії загалом. "Це сталося, звісно, насамперед через уміння українських військових використовувати старі радянські засоби ППО, які вони вже мали. Союзники НАТО постачали їм боєприпаси для цих систем, а потім почали надавати нові системи. Німецька система зараз демонструє, що Німеччина постачає Україні справді важливі потужності. Їхнє значення у майбутньому тільки зростатиме", - зазначив Єнс Столтенберг.

Нагадаємо, після шостого "Рамштайну" стало відомо про чотири системи Hawk від Іспанії, як і про потенційне надання цих систем США.

Генсек НАТО невдовзі після того анонсував надання союзниками обладнання для боротьби з дронами.

Також Україна має отримати системи NASAMS, у Пентагоні офіційно повідомили, що це може статися на початку листопада.
