So one large category of software spend is on Point of Sale systems. The one most of us know best in Toast, because we all use Toast so often when we go out to dinner. And it indeed has strong market share there. And perhaps the one we know second-best is Square. But “POS” systems and software are everywhere, and are a lot more than just Toast and Square.

There's no doubt generative AI models such as ChatGTP, BingChat, or GoogleBard can deliver massive efficiency benefits — but they bring with them major cybersecurity and privacy concerns along with accuracy worries. It's already known that these programs — especially ChatGTP itself — make up facts and repeatedly lie. Far more troubling, no one seems to understand why and how these lies, coyly dubbed "hallucinations," are happening.

So something quietly changed in the past few years. Maybe it was the investing craziness of late ‘20 through late ‘21. Maybe it was VCs not wanting to rock the boat. Maybe it was a lot of startups just plain not having real boards of directors. What’s changed is the majority of startups that are venture-backed don’t seem to get the CEO’s and founders’ compensation packages approved by the board anymore.

So there’s a strategy exercise I like to go through with startups I’ve invested in that are past $20m-$30m ARR or so: Who would you buy with 10% of your market cap? I.e., who would give 10% of your company away to buy? It turns out this is an important threshold. The SEC generally defines this as “material”. It’s also enough of your company that everyone will suffer a lot of dilution, and enough that you can’t do more than a handful of these deals ever.
