Adam Berke shared thisCongrats to the folks at Resemble AI on their raise! Anyone with an internet connection and heartbeat can see that deepfakes are going to be an increasingly large problem as AI models become more sophisticated and democratized. It's so important that we we have companies like Resemble AI who don't just pay lip service to "responsible AI" but also have it built into the core of their business model. Congrats to the team and I'm excited for the next chapter! https://lnkd.in/gTCEHhmgResemble AI Secures $13M to Combat Rising AI Generated Threats | Resemble AIResemble AI Secures $13M to Combat Rising AI Generated Threats | Resemble AI

Adam Berke shared thisEntrepreneurs First is hiring a full time investor on the San Francisco team. I've been spending a good chunk of my time with EF as an advisor and can attest that the founders they bring over are super brains and working on really interesting companies. They're looking for someone who's been a founder/operator themselves, or has had a few years of investing experience. If you think you're a fit, let me know, and I'm happy to make an intro.Adam Berke shared this🚀 We’re hiring in SF! EF backs exceptional individuals before they have a cofounder, team, or idea. Join my team to work with founders as they build their companies in SF and help them raise from the very best VCs in the Bay Area. If you love working with ambitious founders and want to see them break through, apply here: https://lnkd.in/eVU3XWEx (Or DM me if you’re curious!)

Adam Berke posted thisAfter about 2 years, I'm stepping away from my full-time role as Chief Product Officer at The Predictive Index. I'll be staying involved at PI as a Board Observer and Product Advisor. This chapter began when my startup, Charma, was acquired, and like most post-acquisition experiences, it was a mix of excitement, learning curves, and “ah yes, this is what a bigger company feels like.” Acquisitions are hard, especially product oriented ones, and I'm impressed with how the team quickly integrated the technology and relaunched it as PI Perform. There are now hundreds of new customers using the product, and I'm excited to see how it continues to grow and evolve. This was the first time I was on the “getting acquired” end of a transaction, and I can safely say that the experience got better and better the more I got to know the people, learned the ropes, and figured out how I could best contribute my strengths and perspectives. My plan is to take a bit of time to reflect, explore ideas, and leave space to recharge. After all, it was a 7+ year run from the founding of Charma to this moment. I've also got a wedding to help plan with Kaila Babnik, so a new chapter on the personal front as well, which was a big factor in the thought process around this transition. I’m not looking for full time roles at the moment, but if there are ways you think I can help you or your company, feel free to get in touch! Huge thanks to Mike Zani (and let’s be honest, mostly François Bruneau) for having the vision for the deal and pushing it across the finish line. Thanks so much to my peers on the executive team, Jackie Dube, Sean Cavaliere, John McGuinness, and Rabih Shanshiry for your patience with my idiosyncrasies and for helping me to help you. Thanks to my directs Alex C Tompkins, Lyndee Rivera, and Stephanie Redfern for welcoming me and accepting me onto your teams. And of course, thanks to all of the other PIoneers I collaborated with on various projects who are too numerous to name without spamming this post! I was always impressed by your thoughtfulness, passion, and pride in PI's mission. I’m looking forward to continuing working with you all in a new capacity and I’m excited for what’s in store at PI.

Adam Berke shared thisI'm excited to share that we've been acquired by The Predictive Index. After 5 years of building Charma (originally WorkPatterns) this is undoubtedly the right next step for the company and a great home for the team. I'll also be staying on as Chief Strategy Officer of PI, and I'm excited for what we'll do together. The product will live on as a module within the PI talent optimization platform, and it will get super charged with PI's proprietary behavioral science. We've already been hard at work on the integration, and plan to unveil the updated product and brand in Q1 2024. In the meantime, customers can keep using Charma without interruption and everything will be migrated for them. I wrote more about why we made this decision and the vision going forward on our blog: https://lnkd.in/gJeu36fq Thanks to everyone who helped along the way: current and former team members, customers, investors, friends and advisors.Adam Berke shared thisWe are excited to announce that Charma has been acquired by The Predictive Index! Over the course of 65+ years, The Predictive Index (PI) has pioneered the category of talent optimization by developing personalized, science-backed HR software for hiring, developing, and retaining top talent. PI has a simply articulated vision that resonates strongly with the Charma team, “Better Work, Better World.” We’re thrilled with how this combination will drive towards that vision and benefit customers immensely. Rest assured, Charma isn’t going away. Instead, we’ll be joining the PI family and supercharging our platform with their behavioral science. Our goal has always been to provide guidance to managers that will help them be great leaders of high-performing teams. In partnership with PI, we’ll be able to deliver that guidance in much more personalized and scientifically validated ways. Read this blog post from our CEO and Co-founder Adam Berke to get the full story on why this partnership will bring immense value to customers.

Adam Berke liked thisAdam Berke liked thisDo you ever feel like you’re meant to build something that truly matters? That’s how many of the founders we work with begin. We exist to create a path for exceptionally talented and ambitious individuals to build companies from the ground up. We provide the caipital, community, and infrastructure to give you the best possible chance of turning ambition into reality. Our goal is simple: to accelerate your journey toward finding your life’s work. Today, EF has raised $200M in new capital to back people like you. Since 2015, we’ve backed individuals at the very earliest stage (often before they have a team or even an idea), helping them build companies that matter. Together, those companies are now valued at over $16B. This latest round includes support from some of the world’s most accomplished founders and investors, including John and Patrick Collison, Eric Schmidt, Charlie Songhurst, Sara Clemens, Aidan Gomez, Matt Cohler, Barney Hussey-Yeo, Mati Staniszewski, Jeff Hammerbacher, Claire Hughes Johnson, Nick McKeown, Danny Rimer, and Jeffrey Dean & Heidi Hopper, alongside leading institutional investors such as Greylock. We’re excited to continue backing extraordinary people who feel capable of more than their current environment allows. If that sounds like you, you probably already know it.

Adam Berke liked thisAdam Berke liked thisToday, we're announcing Entrepreneurs First's Series D: $200M of fresh capital, at a unicorn+ valuation. We're in a golden age of entrepreneurship. More individuals than ever before are taking the leap, with the world's most transformative technology at their fingertips. For over a decade, we've backed extraordinary people without asking what idea they're working on. We call this Talent Investing; believing in someone from Day 1 and giving them the peer group, environment, and capital to find their life's work. And it works! Companies built through EF are now worth $16bn, up from $3bn at our last raise in 2021. Thank you to our investors for their continued belief, the EF team for bringing this vision to life, and the founders who rejected the status quo to build globally important companies with us. And a huge thank you to Matt Clifford, my exceptional cofounder, and Tom Shinner for being instrumental in making this happen.

Adam Berke liked thisAdam Berke liked thisA lot has changed since 2021 when I first joined Entrepreneurs First. - The value of our portfolio was ~$1bn. Now it’s over $16bn. 🤯 - I worked on the 17th cohort in London. Now founders have built on 90+ cohorts around the world. 🌍 - Our founders built companies in their local markets. Now they have immediate access to the most talent and capital-dense ecosystem in the world in San Francisco, no matter where they start. 🇺🇸 And the best part of it all? I get to work alongside some of the world's most talented individuals as they build generational companies here in San Francisco. Proud to be part of the team backing and believing in these founders from day 1. Delighted to share that we’ve raised $200M of fresh capital to do just that, from some of the world’s most successful founders and investors including John & Patrick Collison, Eric Schmidt, Matt Cohler and Charlie Songhurst.

Adam Berke liked thisAdam Berke liked this🚨 𝗔𝗰𝗾𝘂𝗶𝘀𝗶𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗡𝗲𝘄𝘀 🚨 I’m 𝘷𝘦𝘳𝘺 proud to share that Hireguide has been acquired by Hirevue. Almost five years ago we started Hireguide (yes, from a garage!) because it was just way too hard for recruiters to deliver the structured, kind, measured interview process they knew was right. What began as a passion, a lot of whiteboard, and many late nights slowly turned into something real. Over the years we’ve now had the privilege of working with thousands of SMBs and dozens of enterprises to upgrade their interviews with AI. 𝗦𝗼 𝘄𝗵𝘆 𝗷𝗼𝗶𝗻 𝗛𝗶𝗿𝗲𝘃𝘂𝗲 𝗻𝗼𝘄? 𝗪𝗲𝗹𝗹, 𝗜 𝗯𝗲𝗹𝗶𝗲𝘃𝗲 𝘄𝗲’𝗿𝗲 𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗿𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗮 𝗽𝗶𝘃𝗼𝘁𝗮𝗹 𝗺𝗼𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗵𝗶𝗿𝗶𝗻𝗴, where the "quality of hire" metric can (finally) be measured and moved. Until now, tech has mostly added speed, but the core of interviews hasen't changed in 100 years. However, AI's ability to structure unstructured conversational data, and integrate signals across resumes, assessments, calls, interviews ATSs, HRIS, etc., has laid the foundation for a 𝘮𝘢𝘫𝘰𝘳 𝘣𝘳𝘦𝘢𝘬𝘵𝘩𝘳𝘰𝘶𝘨𝘩 in the next 18 months. The company with the process, science, and data to "tune" interviews to outcomes will change how the world hires forever. 𝗜 𝗯𝗲𝗹𝗶𝗲𝘃𝗲 𝗛𝗶𝗿𝗲𝘃𝘂𝗲 𝘄𝗶𝗹𝗹 𝗯𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗽𝗮𝗻𝘆. With deep expertise in applied IO science, analytics, and global scale, they’ve built one of the 𝗺𝗼𝘀𝘁 𝗶𝗻𝗳𝗹𝘂𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗶𝗮𝗹 𝗽𝗹𝗮𝘁𝗳𝗼𝗿𝗺𝘀 𝗶𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝘀𝗲𝗹𝗲𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝘀𝗽𝗮𝗰𝗲. Today they work with 60% of the Fortune 100 and have powered more than 80M interviews and 200M assessments. Combined with Hireguide's advanced AI capabilities, this creates a powerful foundation for the next generation of hiring technology focused on 𝗾𝘂𝗮𝗹𝗶𝘁𝘆, 𝗲𝘃𝗶𝗱𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗲, 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗺𝗲𝗮𝘀𝘂𝗿𝗲𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁, 𝗻𝗼𝘁 𝗷𝘂𝘀𝘁 𝘀𝗽𝗲𝗲𝗱.

There were plenty of moments along the way when things felt impossible, but it was being in it together that kept us moving forward. I’ll share a separate post soon to thank all the #HireKind supporters who helped us get here. Finally, to Jeremy Friedman and the entire Hirevue team, we’re so proud to join you as “Viewers” and 𝗰𝗿𝗮𝗰𝗸 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗻𝗲𝘅𝘁 𝗴𝗲𝗻𝗲𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗼𝗳 𝘀𝗲𝗹𝗲𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 together. Let's go! 🚀

Adam Berke liked thisAdam Berke liked thisI’m beyond excited, honored and deeply humbled to share that I’m stepping into the role of CEO for NextRoll, the marketing technology company behind AdRoll. I want to thank Roli Saxena, and the Board for the confidence they have placed in me to lead NextRoll into its next chapter. Our mission has been to empower marketers with advertising technology to drive sustainable growth and build trust. That remains unchanged. As category dynamics shift, driven by emerging channels and AI native experiences, there couldn’t be a more exhilarating time to build. With our core technology, CTV innovation, AI first experiences and incredible human talent, we have the right recipe to realize our mission. At this pivotal moment, I‘m reflecting on those who made this journey possible. To my parents: this is for you, for instilling in me the values that guide me today. To my mentors, managers and colleagues: Thank you for challenging me and opening my mind to what's possible. To my wife: Thank you for being my greatest challenger and my most steady supporter. And to the Rollers: You bring your gusto and intellect to work everyday. I am a builder at heart, but 'you' all have been my builders. I owe this milestone to you. Looking back on three decades in this industry, two things have mattered most: Keeping an open mind to discover new people and ideas and a dogged commitment into turning those ideas into action. I look forward to sharing more of my perspective on the industry and where we are taking AdRoll in the coming weeks.

The Retargeting Playbook is a complete guide for digital marketers about how to reach the 95 to 98 percent of people who leave a brand's website without converting. Retargeting gives advertisers the ability to stay in front of those people to bring them back and close the deal. For that reason, retargeting has emerged as a must have marketing channel, yet there is a lack of content that explains how the technology actually works and best practices for using it. Even marketing managers at large, sophisticated brands and agencies don’t have a strong grasp of this evolving channel, and there are few good neutral sources on the topic. Meanwhile, retargeting is the cornerstone of any holistic digital advertising strategy since it improves the results of every other channel if implemented correctly.
