SaaStr 729: 6 Questions Founders Should Ask Themselves to Drive Value from Generative AI with Base10 Partners

Generative AI is a platform shift where models can take inputs such as text, image, audio, video, and code and generate new content into any of the modalities mentioned. TJ Nahigian, co-founder and Managing Partner of Base10 Partners, and Luci Fonseca, Partner, deep dive into the current GenAI landscape, incumbents vs. startups, and the six questions founders should ask themselves to drive value from GenAI.

For some context, Base10 is a research-driven investment firm focusing on companies automating the largest sectors of the real economy. They're trying to figure out what will happen with GenAI and share what they're observing today so startups and incumbents can take advantage of it to build significant value.

Base10 is interested in mega-trends that change how people live and work in the next ten years. We're at the beginning of a platform shift, and for the first time, GenAI has become accessible to more than just the mega businesses of the world.
