VM Blog Exclusive Interview with Vivek Vaidya
This VMblog Q&A with super{set} founding GP Vivek Vaidya explains how the studio builds AI-native enterprise companies by pairing capital with hands-on company building (engineering, GTM playbooks) and focusing on proprietary data as the core moat. It spotlights the $200M acquisition of Habu by LiveRamp (2024) as proof of the model, and details what they seek in technical co-founders, how they hard-wire governance/privacy from day one, and which enterprise workflows are ripe for AI over 2025–2030.
Why it’s worth a read: Clear, practical playbooks on how to compress zero-to-one, build data flywheels, run enterprise GTM with design partners, and avoid “model-first” traps. A useful read for founders and operators, not just investors.
