Rishi Roongta posted thisI have an interesting networking opportunity - Looking for anyone either operating home services type businesses in the bay area or are developing tools/AI to better enable them / buy them in the bay area. Home services is broad, but could include handymen, HVAC, Roofing, Plumbing, Electrical, Lawn, etc. Would also love to meet folks that recently acquired a small business in this space and are scaling them. Thank you!!

Rishi Roongta shared thisThis will be my first time going to Expo West! Excited to connect with old and new friends bringing new brands to life. Bain has an exciting panel that you should definitely check out - it’s ten years of us tracking the insurgent brands list!!Rishi Roongta shared thisWhat does it take to outperform in the next era of consumer growth? Join us at Expo West 2026 to discover this year’s 2026 Insurgent Brands list and hear what it takes to drive insurgent-like growth. I'll be joined by Jen Zeszut (GOODLES), John Foraker (Once Upon a Farm), and Eric Ryan (Greycroft) for a stimulating discussion on how evolving consumer trends and retail dynamics are reshaping the insurgent playbook – and what it will take for brands (and their investors) to outperform in the next era of consumer growth. Excited about this one! #ExpoWest2026 #insurgentbrands #CPG https://bit.ly/4aXt0mJ

Rishi Roongta shared thisCanada is at an inflection point. With 10% of the world’s top AI talent but only ~2% of global AI venture capital, the opportunity is clear: empower venture scientists to turn frontier research into companies that scale at home. Together with Mila, we explore how Canada can convert its scientific edge into lasting economic and societal leadership. I had the opportunity work on this with MILA - to my VC friends, founders and innovators - I would take a look at what is brewing in Montreal with MILA. Great group of leaders and Venture Scientists on the frontier of AI research. #venturescientists #MILA https://bit.ly/3NKnISp

Rishi Roongta shared thisToday I’m excited to share a milestone for Bain’s Venture Ecosystem team: we’re announcing 7 flagship VC fund partners. This has been 8 years in the making, but we are now making this formal. I founded this group in 2017 with a belief that the startup and venture ecosystem can help solve large organizations’ biggest challenges and dramatically accelerate innovation. Since then, we’ve worked with 250+ clients, connecting them with thousands of startups, leading to partnerships, customer relationships, investments, M&A, and more. With AI accelerating disruption and a historic level of funding powering this next wave of innovation, my conviction is even stronger: large corporations need to be deeply connected to the disruptors and the investors fueling what’s next. These incredible VC partners are investing today into the future, and together, we’ll have even more impact with our client organizations. Thank you to our friends that make this possible, who are now partners: Bain Capital Ventures (BCV) - Joe DiMento Natalie Coletta Battery Ventures - Scott Goering Evan Witte ICONIQ - Candace Widdoes Enlin Chua Insight Partners - Hilary Gosher Emmet B. Keeffe III Alberto Padilla Ash Tutika Lightspeed - Dan Grunfeld Taylor Parker Menlo Ventures - Houman Haghighi Bryan Eglan Kayla Hinderscheid New Enterprise Associates (NEA) - Shanna Hendriks If you’re a leader driving change and want to work with the startup ecosystem, especially around AI, let us know. We’re here to supercharge you.

Rishi Roongta liked thisRishi Roongta liked thisThe GV (Google Ventures) team is thrilled to co-lead Sierra's Series E! We’ve spent the last 3 years deepening our relationship with Bret Taylor and Clay Bavor - making customer and executive intros, sharing market insights, incessantly texting "Sad Ben Affleck" memes, and once hauling a 6-foot replica of the "Believe" sign from Ted Lasso across town to Sierra's office. Our conviction stems from a simple truth: Clay and Bret are product visionaries. Global brands pour nearly $1 trillion annually into marketing, yet when customers reach out for help, they often encounter long hold times, convoluted IVRs, and the frustration of yelling "representative" at their phones. Sierra is leveraging AI to transform that paradigm for the largest companies in the world, including 40% of the Fortune 50. What started as a way to improve customer satisfaction and resolution rates has evolved into something much larger. Today, Sierra’s Agent OS is helping companies drive sales, manage subscriptions, process payments, and transform contact centers. Sierra is turning one-off conversations into lasting customer relationships. Or, as Bret and Clay say, they are building "The Happy Customer Machine."

Rishi Roongta liked thisRishi Roongta liked this“You made everything feel possible, even when it wasn’t ♥️ ” This time of year, we read messages like this all day. And we make sure every single one ends up on a handwritten card. Mother’s Day at Bloom & Wolf is chaos. Too many orders (thank you!). Not enough hours. The whole team jumping in. But despite the chaos, it’s definitely my favorite time of year. And that's partly because of these messages. They're short. Honest. Intimate. Sometimes it feels like things people never said out loud before. In these turbulent times in the world, these notes make me realize how much good there really is, just quietly happening. Building a business can feel complicated sometimes. But then for a few days, it becomes very simple: Make something that matters. And make sure it arrives on time ♥️

Rishi Roongta liked thisRishi Roongta liked thisWe're hosting a hackathon with Lovable for people who have never written a line of code. What they're building isn't just an app. It's a Mother's Day gift their moms never would've expected. I can think of a dozen apps that would make my mom's life easier. Yet none of them exist because they're too small and too specific to her - they wouldn't ever scale. That's the whole point of this weekend. You don't need to know how to code, you don't even need to type. You can just hold down a key, use Wispr to talk through your idea, and Lovable turns it into a real, working app. You can be the one to build something your mom has always needed but never had. It could be a family recipe box that lives on her phone instead of in a drawer. A calendar that finally makes sense of everyone's schedules. An app that just makes her laugh. Submissions are open from tomorrow, May 8th, until Saturday at midnight. And anyone can vote - your friends, family, even mom herself. And winners get Wispr Flow + Lovable credits, plus up to $1,000 to spoil their mom. I'm probably going to build something for my mom this weekend, too. You can submit with the link in the comments. I can't wait to see what everyone creates♥️ — Written with Wispr Flow

Rishi Roongta liked thisHumbled and honored to be named a finalist for the MIT Sloan CIO Leadership Award — and I mean it when I say this recognition belongs to the incredible team I have the privilege of working alongside every day. Transforming how a global firm like Bain operates — reimagining AI adoption, modernizing our Data and Knowledge ecosystem, and enterprise modernization at scale — is not the work of one person. It is the result of hundreds of brilliant, dedicated people who show up with courage, creativity, and relentless commitment to making things better. To my team at Bain's Technology Solutions Group: thank you. You inspire me constantly. This is your recognition as much as mine. And to Bain & Company — thank you for the culture, the trust, and the belief that technology and human ingenuity, working together, can truly change what's possible. I’m grateful for this moment. Even more grateful to the people who made it happen. #Leadership #CIO #Bain #Innovation #TeamFirst #MITSloanRishi Roongta liked thisThe best CIOs don't just run technology, they change the business. Ramesh Razdan, our Global CIO, has just been named a finalist for the MIT Sloan CIO Symposium Leadership Award, a recognition that reflects exactly that. Finalists are assessed by a panel of CIOs, industry thought leaders, and MIT Sloan-affiliated professionals on their ability to articulate strategic vision, earn trust as a senior executive, drive tangible value across the organization, and be recognized as a leader among their peers. Congratulations Ramesh.

Regulation doesn’t have to slow you down — with the right system, it accelerates you. After more than three years of development and optimization, our Easy13485 QM Service is now fully mature. — built on over 25 years of experience leading successful medical innovation projects. A unique part of our commitment: we take responsibility for all Framework Non-Conformities identified by the Notified Body — at our own cost 💵 . This keeps the regulatory risk for start-ups predictably low and allows them to focus on product and funding milestones. 2025 we added a comprehensive Academy to the Easy13485 QM Service Framework — more than 150 role-based trainings that allow every team member to become audit-ready independently. This closes one of the biggest gaps in regulatory reliability for early-stage companies and simplifies #onboarding for #fast-growing teams. 𝗢𝘂𝗿 𝗯𝘂𝘀𝗶𝗻𝗲𝘀𝘀 𝗺𝗼𝗱𝗲𝗹 𝗶𝘀 𝗱𝗲𝗹𝗶𝗯𝗲𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗹𝘆 𝘂𝗻𝗰𝗼𝗻𝘃𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝗮𝗹 While most #eQMS systems focus on automating recurring documentation tasks, #Easy13485 eliminates them by design. 🦉 Instead of making regulatory work faster, we make most of it unnecessary — replacing traditional consultants and, in a way, 𝗰𝗮𝗻𝗻𝗶𝗯𝗮𝗹𝗶𝘇𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗼𝘂𝗿𝘀𝗲𝗹𝘃𝗲𝘀. We’re excited for this year’s #4CUnplugged, of Medical Innovations Incubator GmbH not only to meet our existing customers but also to engage with new start-ups as a premium partner. Ready to take on new projects in 2026.

In a rapidly evolving healthcare landscape, experience-centered AI is poised to drive the next wave of innovation. Unlike incremental point solutions that address isolated inefficiencies, this approach integrates AI seamlessly across all touchpoints - creating a cohesive, patient-centric system. By focusing on outcomes, not just outputs, experience-centered AI empowers both patients and healthcare providers, improving communication, trust, and health outcomes. With tools designed to reduce administrative burdens and personalize care, this paradigm shift promises more affordable, efficient, and empathetic healthcare. The key to success will be fostering trust through responsible, transparent AI development that protects privacy and mitigates bias. #AIinHealthcare #PatientExperience #Healthcare #DigitalHealth #AI https://lnkd.in/gey7mU2i

Growth that depends on talent is vulnerable. Growth supported by system is durable. Private equity environments demand commercial engines that can be tuned, measured, and scaled through compressed timelines. My colleague John van Berkum outlines how Strategic RevOps strengthens that foundation: https://lnkd.in/e4QDQq7W

AI and Health Tech in Focus AI Tool Used to Help Predict Postpartum Depression Researchers at Harvard University’s Massachusetts General Hospital have developed an AI tool that helps predict the risk of postpartum depression (PPD) before discharge from the hospital. Approximately 15% of women suffer from PPD which is responsible for suicide and self-harm and about 10% of all pregnancy related deaths. The researchers trained the algorithm based on about 29,000 mothers using electronic health records data including medical history, medication data, age, race, ethnicity, education, marital status, insurance type, number of births, mode of delivery, number of prenatal visits, length of delivery stay as well as an existing but more modest predictability score for PPD called EPDS. Incorporating this data resulted in an ability to predict more than three times the baseline risk of PPD. Using this model can help care teams identify those at risk for PPD and provide resources and support services such as referral to social workers, psychotherapy, psychiatry or medical therapy before they have an impact on the mother, child and their families. VC Investors are always adjusting their "Play Book" with a variety of options for investing. Mikal Ventures is one of those alternatives, offering curated solutions to real world problems.

I spoke with Christien Louviere of BDE Capital about his journey from a $330mm exit to becoming an independent sponsor. Christien shared excellent insights for folks looking to partner with business owners, rather than buy sellers out completely. Below are a few of the topics we covered: - Why he moved from “zero-to-one” startups to a buy-then-build strategy - How Christien's background shaped a focus on growth vs. cost-cutting - Why 20–40% rolled equity is central to his deal structures—and how it builds trust with sellers - Using scenario analysis with AI tools to evaluate management teams and uncover hidden key-person risks - How to identify when a $3–5M EBITDA company truly has a middle management layer—or is still founder-reliant For anyone investing in or buying small businesses, Christien’s approach provides a fresh lens on growth, alignment, and deal structuring. 🎥 Watch the full interview here → https://lnkd.in/ekfkaiej 🎧 Listen on Spotify: https://lnkd.in/e86Agx6V

AI for CFOs and operations teams that can illuminate the business equation and optimize it. AI for health systems that helps them with everything from claims to better care. The next wave of multi-billion-dollar companies will be built around ideas like these. That’s why Felicis just published our first-ever Call for Startups. We’re eager to meet founders who see what others miss. These are the areas capturing my imagination. Whether you fit here or you're inventing something new, I'd love to hear from you.
