The Pilgrims who journeyed across the Atlantic to colonize America raised four rounds of financing sent via ship each year during the summer. The second round of financing, the Series A, was the hardest to raise because the colonists missed plan : pirates pillaged their beaver pelts.

Dear SaaStr: Does Having a Board of Advisors Increase Your Chances of Getting Funding? No. Or maybe — only barely, a tiny bit. It does show you are hustling, if the advisors are truly great. If you get Eric Yuan or Marc Benioff to be an active advisor — well, then, you get some more attention. But that’s about it. They aren’t on the management team, they aren’t selling or building product or running a growth playbook.

AI will automate 25-50% of white collar work including data analysis. Does that will data teams shrink in size? On the contrary, while AI can automate some work, it will also demand much more from data teams. Typical tasks - writing SQL & charting data - will become mostly automated. This ease of use will enable data teams to focus elsewhere : on the sea of demand for data coming from the edges of the company.
