Dave shares why he took on the challenge of building Tidemark after over 20 years in the venture asset class (and garnering Midas List recognition), how Tidemark takes on a product ethos in building its Vertical SaaS (VaaS) value-add capabilities such as content and community events among other efforts, VaaS learnings from recent research they’ve done on “Control Points” and a benchmarking study on Vertical and SMB SaaS trends, how the Tidemark thesis and lessons learned apply to digital industrial end markets, and finally where Ai is headed for VaaS now that the “Ai meteor” has landed.
