Watch our exclusive interview with George Mathew, Managing Director at Insight Partners.


George walks us through his journey, from leading companies to investing in the next generation of #startups at Insight Partners. We discussed his investment approach, the deal breakers he looks out for, and what enables Insight to be so #successful with standout investments such as Armis, monday.com, Wiz, SentinelOne, and others.

We then explored the challenges in #AI development and how his investments, like Weights & Biases are helping to address them. This led to a broader look at how Insight Partners is able to identify and back the #winners in the AI race.


Lastly, we discussed the rise of AI #agents — what’s hype vs. what’s real, and the ultimate showdown between #AINative companies and industry incumbents. 🤖💡📊
