At Jazz Computing, we're excited to announce the successful completion of our recent AI workshop, delivered in collaboration with the Silk Road Innovation Hub. This workshop brought together a dynamic group of industrial and automation technology startups from Kazakhstan to explore the transformative potential of AI, machine learning (ML), and robotics in industrial applications. Our goal was to empower these startups with insights on leveraging AI to drive efficiency, enhance sustainability, and unlock new growth opportunities in their sectors.

Recently, we had the pleasure of presenting at Woodside Capital Partners (WCP), where we joined their esteemed team for an insightful morning focused on the future of artificial intelligence (AI) in the investment space. This event, hosted by Managing Directors Kelly Porter, Nirvikar Jain, and their colleagues, provided an excellent opportunity to explore the transformative potential of AI and its implications for the tech industry.

In the fast-paced world of venture capital and private equity, making informed investment decisions is paramount. Traditionally, investors have relied on generic expert networks like GLG (Gerson Lehrman Group) for insights. However, a notable shift is occurring as top investors and VC funds increasingly turn to specialized due diligence (DD) firms. This trend is particularly pronounced in complex, rapidly evolving sectors such as artificial intelligence, biotech, and clean energy. Here's why this shift is happening and what it means for the investment landscape.
