ACTRESS: No. For me, that’s the most fascinating side of it. There is an authenticity question to be discussed, to be sure. There’s also an integrity value to it. It’s like Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory, that scene with the golden ticket computer. He’s created a computer, and he’s presented it to his clients. “Put it into the computer, and it’ll tell me where the golden ticket is.” [Laughs] You’ve also got to account for the humor factor as well. Whenever I think of AI, I think of Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory. Golden ticket.

Digital transformation comes with many challenges and software development outsourcing should not be viewed as the go-to solution for every problem. It is one of many crucial parts found in the larger digital transformation framework.

Spot on. Forestry is not what we typically think of when we think about “software eating the world.” Our investors pattern us after SailDrone, Aclima, and UrbanFootprint. Each have large US government customers and each are working on incredibly valuable problems. These are major pain points for the customer which is trying to do more work with the same budget. An example is SailDrone acquiring oceanic data on acidification and other matters for a fraction of the cost of manned expeditions on boats, and their aquatic drones acquire the data without risk to people for years on end, which wasn’t possible or safe with manned crews.  So far, three of the four of these companies have gone on to raise large much much larger rounds. The thesis is that a lot of the low hanging fruit in pure play software companies has been taken and that the next big companies (and IPOs) will come from companies that interact physically with the real world and in regulated markets. Think AirBnB, 23andMe, Lyft/Uber, Bird Scooters/Lime etc.
