Brent Ghione shared thisWhen Matthew stepped into his role, everyday tasks took longer than they should because documents lived in so many places. After pulling everything into IntelAgree, the difference was immediate — quick searches, clearer insight, and more confidence across the team. He also invested time in our workshops, shaping a setup that matches how the business actually operates. It’s the kind of progress that gets us excited.

Brent Ghione shared thisListening to Kyle on The Contract Heroes Podcast last week reminded me that IntelAgree is doing more than building software. We’re building confidence for the teams who rely on it. Every day, our customers show us what happens when people and AI actually work together. Check out the episode and see why the next era of CLM is intelligence, not complexity: https://hubs.la/Q03VCV0f0 #SaaSCulture #LegalTech #TeamIntelAgree

Brent Ghione reposted thisBrent Ghione reposted thisWe sat down with Kyle Myers, Chief Product Officer at IntelAgree, to explore how AI is reshaping contract management from intake to negotiation to final signature. Kyle walked us through his journey into legal tech, the thinking behind IntelAgree’s product vision, and how their team built an AI-native platform that legal and business users can adopt without friction. What we covered: • Why IntelAgree designed CLM with AI at the core • How legal teams actually use generative AI in real workflows • Saige Assist, IntelAgree’s AI suite for drafting, review, and negotiation • Making AI accessible for non-technical legal users • How CLM decisions impact Legal, Procurement, Sales, and IT • What the future of contract intelligence looks like across the enterprise One quote from Kyle that stuck with us: “Most legal teams just want to move faster. Our job is to make AI feel natural enough that they don’t have to think about the technology, only the work.” Link to listen in the comments.

Brent Ghione shared thisI love seeing teams recognize a challenge and take ownership to solve it. That’s exactly what Emmes did with IntelAgree. They turned a contract process that was scattered and time-consuming into one that’s fast, organized, and easy to manage. With full visibility, automation, and smarter templates, their legal team now works confidently and efficiently — cutting drafting time by 85% and helping the entire business move faster together. Stories like this are a great reminder of how the right tools can help great teams do even better work.

Brent Ghione liked thisBrent Ghione liked thisBig news! I'm excited to share that I'm joining Silverman Capital as Head of Investor Relations. Here's the bet I'm actually making: The world is going all in on AI. I'm going all in on the opposite industries. I've spent years building in independent hospitality Fragmented market. Owner-operated businesses. Few real national players. I've been living and building the roll-up thesis at our hotels. Then Sam and I got to talking through paving. Same setup. Different industry. $50B+ market. Locally owned. Off-market. Recession resistant. Roads crack every winter. Deteriorated parking lots stop being a budget conversation and become a liability conversation. Customers don't shop around. They call whoever showed up last time and did the job right. Small operators trade at 2.5-5x EBITDA. A scaled platform trades at 10x. Public infrastructure companies sit at 15-16x. This is SERIOUS value creation. And in a world where AI is disrupting everything? These businesses have more resilience runway than almost anything I can think of. Someone has to show up, run a crew, and lay asphalt. Someone has to welcome a guest at the door. Every investor I've ever worked with came through a real conversation. A relationship. AI is a tool. Human connection is a moat. I'll keep betting on the moat. Sam Silverman and I have built together at four companies. Every single one has been a huge hit. When he called me about Silverman Capital, it wasn't a hard conversation. We have the team and the runway to make this the biggest one yet by far. Here’s to the road ahead.

Brent Ghione liked thisThis is a great perspective on how AI should support contract management. The goal is not to replace how organizations negotiate, it’s to reinforce the standards, governance, and risk thresholds teams have already built over time. When those rules live inside your CLM system, it creates consistency across the organization and helps teams stay ahead of risk.Brent Ghione liked thisTechnology shouldn’t redefine your contract standards. It should reinforce them. The most effective AI CLM platforms are configured around how your organization actually negotiates — your policies, escalation paths, and the positions your legal team has refined through years of deals. Risk thresholds reflect your tolerance. Approval routing follows the governance you’ve established. Clause alternatives come from language your lawyers have already vetted. When those standards live inside the system, they shape how agreements are reviewed and negotiated across the organization. Learn more: https://hubs.la/Q045vQ0s0

Brent Ghione liked thisBrent Ghione liked thisWinding down from a big week of learning. Zoe, Francesca, and I kicked off Monday as guest lecturers for one of our favorite Harvard Business School classes, Launching Tech Ventures. Not nearly as experienced navigating "the pit" as Jeffrey Bussgang and Allison Mnookin, but we had a blast being back! I also got to share meals with Andrew and Chris Wilkins at TopSDRs and PE operators at a dinner hosted by our phenomenal Clay PE partnerships team Nancy, Ziqi, Karan, David, and Kat. A few themes coming out of this week: 1. The AI talent question has shifted. Last year every boardroom was asking "where should we use AI?" This year it's "who owns it?" Most non-tech companies don't have the personnel. One approach I love to find those people internally: get everyone on an Enterprise Claude or ChatGPT license, track usage for 30 days, and find out who's hitting their limit. That's your AI tiger team. 2. GTM is getting more competitive. The talent pools that used to flow into BizOps, Chief of Staff, consulting, and finance are now gunning for GTM roles at AI companies. Andrew and Chris are placing Ivy League grads into Founding SDR seats at the best AI startups. That's a very new profile entering this market. 3. Events is one of the most underrated GTM channels. As AI slop outbound floods every inbox, people are craving in-person connection. The people who know how to throw killer events are going to drive outsized pipeline. We've all sat through stale cocktail hours counting the minutes until we can politely exit. Senior decisionmakers are too busy to go to those bad events. Throwing great ones is a heavily underrated skill. 4. The tool stack has completely changed in a year. A year ago I used ChatGPT for everything. Now I barely open it. Right now the tools I am most often using are: Superhuman, Claude, Wispr Flow, Gemini, Dust, Granola, and Lovable. I'm using Gemini, Claude, Wispr Flow, Lovable, and Granola significantly more than I was a year ago. 5. AI adoption is moving fast, even in the classroom. When I was a student in Launching Tech Ventures last year, about 20% of the class raised their hands when asked if they'd used AI tools outside of ChatGPT. At the same class this year, nearly the entire room had their hands up. In conversations with students, there's real humility in the room. They feel the pace of change and want to level up fast. Huge credit to Jeff and Allison for pushing us to get hands-on as early as possible. I still remember my “wow” moment when I used v0 for the first time in LTV. 6. Flexibility beats lock-in. I heard the same thing from students evaluating job opportunities and PE operators making tech stack decisions: too much noise, hard to find the signal. My take is to prioritize tools built on primitives over closed systems. You need to start somewhere, but lock-in is real. If you committed your entire AI budget to one platform and then something like Claude Code dropped, what happens?

Brent Ghione liked thisBrent Ghione liked thisIs AI actually making stores better, or just more complicated? Every time a new technology drops, people predict the "death of the store." It happened with e-commerce, and now it’s happening with AI. But the reality is much more interesting: physical retail isn't dying, it’s just getting more intentional. Placer.ai’s report on The Anchor, "5 Ways Retailers Can Leverage AI," breaks down how the best brands are using tech to double down on what they already do well. The Key Shifts: - Shoppers are using AI to research everything before they arrive. They don't come to discover anymore; they come to touch, feel, and validate. - See how Sam's Club used AI to cut exit wait times by 23%. It’s about removing the friction people hate, not just adding tech for the sake of it. - Brands like Lowe's Companies, Inc.’s are using AI to turn new hires into "pros" on day one, giving them instant answers to complex customer questions. - Interestingly, for brands like TJ Maxx & HomeGoods, the best AI strategy is often to keep it behind the scenes so they don't ruin the magic of discovery. AI shouldn't change your brand's soul. It should just make it easier for your customers to experience it. Read the full report here: https://lnkd.in/eGDwDGmC

Brent Ghione liked thisBrent Ghione liked thisLegal tech is having a breakout year. Newly-minted unicorns, adoption from the top law firms, disruptive business models... the market is moving at a breakneck pace. At Commonweal Ventures, we think that legal innovation is still in early innings. The US legal system relies on structured information, clear lines of logic, and making sense of text scattered across documents: three things that AI happens to be quite good at. Law firms big and small can now get leverage in their business by building intelligent systems, not just adding headcount. Whether you think the billable hour is living on borrowed time or not, it’s clear that the law firms of tomorrow will use very different tools than before. We’ve mapped the next generation of legal tech startups into ten broad categories below: 𝗚𝗲𝗻𝗲𝗿𝗮𝗹 𝗖𝗼𝗽𝗶𝗹𝗼𝘁: AI-powered legal assistants helping humans do their best work by streamlining research, drafting, and due diligence 𝗜𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗹𝗹𝗶𝗴𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗲: Tools for case analysis, litigation funding, and legal data insights 𝗠𝗮𝗿𝗸𝗲𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 + 𝗜𝗻𝘁𝗮𝗸𝗲: Client acquisition and onboarding platforms 𝗪𝗼𝗿𝗸𝗳𝗹𝗼𝘄𝘀: Infrastructure for automation and collaboration 𝗖𝗼𝗻𝘁𝗿𝗮𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴: Contract lifecycle management and negotiation tools 𝗣𝗿𝗮𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗰𝗲 𝗠𝗮𝗻𝗮𝗴𝗲𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁: Running the law firm as a business, from scheduling to billing to client communication 𝗔𝗜 𝗡𝗮𝘁𝗶𝘃𝗲 𝗟𝗮𝘄 𝗙𝗶𝗿𝗺𝘀: The firm is the product, building a proprietary tech stack to deliver services instead of selling the tools as software to others 𝗥𝗲𝗽𝗼𝗿𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗖𝗼𝗺𝗽𝗹𝗶𝗮𝗻𝗰𝗲: Notarization, transcription, and compliance tools 𝗘-𝗗𝗶𝘀𝗰𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘆 + 𝗗𝗼𝗰𝘂𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁𝘀: Document review, discovery, and evidence management 𝗜𝗺𝗺𝗶𝗴𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻: Streamlining visa applications and immigration services Top VCs from General Catalyst, Sequoia Capital, Andreessen Horowitz, Lightspeed, Index Ventures, Accel, New Enterprise Associates (NEA), Bessemer Venture Partners, BOND, Insight Partners, Khosla Ventures, Coatue Management, and Y Combinator are investing heavily in this sector. We are actively seeking founders building in legal tech, particularly those who see an intersection with government as a potential buyer or partner. The democratization of top-quality legal reasoning and advanced data analysis will create new markets for savvy founders who understand the interplay between technology and the law. If that sounds like you or someone you know, get in touch. And if we missed a startup in our map, let us know. #AmTech #LegalTech #VC #Startups #Law #AI #Automation #VentureCapital

“Our average rep hits 50% of quota.” Oof. That's not a rep problem. It's a process problem. If your SaaS sales team's performance is consistently unpredictable, you’re missing real gaps in your ops. Reps manually scoring leads in outdated CRMs. No automation for routing or segmentation. Etc. AI can help, but before you add it to the mix, you need to define 4 things for every sales process: ⭕ Who is responsible for the process ⭕ What tools are used to execute, track, and facilitate the process ⭕ The value the process brings to the organization ⭕ The cost of the process Analyze these details and you can to identify gaps that AI can help close. Performance doesn’t break at the report. It breaks in the workflow. Fix the gaps first. Then AI can do what it’s supposed to: make the system even smarter. ➕ Follow for more insights on using AI in your SaaS ops.

17%. That’s the chunk of time your sales team is losing every week to manual CRM updates. SDRs groan, deals slip through cracks, and your pipeline's potential gets dragged down by busywork instead of booked revenue. Why it stings: • Missed follow-ups = lost deals • Slower sales cycles so reps work harder, not smarter • Frustration climbs, focus drops Operator move: Automate pipeline hygiene. AI-powered tools now clean up CRM entries, log activities, and prep follow-up lists so your team gets a *full extra day* each week to actually sell. Here’s the metric: Track #of manual CRM entries per rep/week. Watch what happens when that number drops. More selling time fuels revenue jumps for founders ready to run a tighter (and happier) sales machine. Do this next: Rethink where your team’s best hours go. Run this play and DM “Blueprint” for the 7-day diagnostic. #ScaleOnConsulting #SalesProductivity #AISales #SalesOps #B2B #StartupGrowth #RevenueOps #ScaleSmarter

Most SDRs are building pipeline in real-time chaos. Messaging shifts. Targeting shifts. Tech breaks. But the quota doesn’t care. Here’s the mistake: Treating prospecting like a task instead of its own funnel. It has its own motion. Its own metrics. Its own playbook. If you’re not treating it like a system, you’re not improving it. You’re just hoping it holds together.

The premise behind intent data made sense: track what buyers are researching and reach out at the right time. The reality? A firehose of signals with no context. Accounts that "surge" and go cold. Reps chasing intent scores they don't trust. We broke down why the model is failing and what's starting to replace it. Spoiler: it's not more signals. It's understanding the pain behind them.

Most technical deals don't die because the prospect said no. They die because you stopped following up. The data backs this up: - 80% of sales require 5+ touches to close - 44% of reps give up after one attempt The average sale needs 8 touchpoints before conversion. But here's what makes technical sales different. Your buyers aren't ignoring you because they're uninterested. They're ignoring you because they're buried in deadlines, firmware bugs, and manufacturing timelines. The follow-up that works isn't "just checking in." It's: → Sharing a technical insight related to their architecture → Referencing a specific constraint they mentioned → Connecting your solution to a problem they're actively solving Every touchpoint should prove you understand their world better than the last rep who gave up. This is how we approach persistence at Bluebird: each follow-up earns attention by adding value, not asking for it. #B2BSales #TechnicalSales #SalesStrategy #OutboundSales #GTMStrategy #SalesLeadership #EmbeddedSystems #IoT #RevenueGrowth

A problem SDRs face all the time... Outbound teams can easily spend 10-15 minutes bouncing between tabs just to get enough info to prepare for their next cold call. So, how do you cut the time and prep for your cold calls in just 15 seconds? It's simple: Let AI handle the prep, not the pitch. AI shouldn’t write your personality. But there's no reason it can't remove the busywork. This video shows exactly how to tackle this problem. Click here for the full play 👉 https://lnkd.in/esh-Pzag #ColdCalling #AI

Most SDR dashboards track vanity metrics. Winners track 15 specific indicators that predict success before it happens. Activity volume tells half the story. 50-60 quality dials beat 100 rushed ones. Talk time matters more than dial count. 25-30 personalized emails outperform 40 generic blasts by 3-5x. Research time (60-90 minutes daily) determines relevance. Quality metrics reveal truth. Email reply rates below 3% signal messaging problems. Cold call conversion under 2% means script issues. LinkedIn acceptance below 20% indicates poor targeting. Meeting show rates under 80% expose weak qualification. Efficiency metrics predict scale. Time to first meeting should be under 14 days. Speed kills deals. Touches to meeting (target 6-8) reveals targeting precision. Cost per meeting ($300-600 typical) improves through conversion, not volume. The metric that matters most? Meeting to opportunity conversion. One SDR booking 10 meetings at 30% conversion destroys another booking 20 at 5%. Quality compounds. Volume doesn't. Top performers generate $5M+ pipeline annually versus $3M average. The difference? They optimize the right metrics while others chase activity quotas. Teams measuring systematically see 23% higher meeting rates year-over-year. Those tracking randomly see turnover. Which metric would transform your team's performance?

Cold calling just got a data upgrade that changes the math. Cognism's 2025 data: verified contacts hit 13.3% answer rates. Warm AE calls? 14.4%. The gap collapsed. Not because reps got better at scripts. Because intent signals and verified data turned cold dials into warm opportunities. This isn't incremental. It breaks the "cold = low yield" assumption that shaped every outbound playbook for the last decade. If your call strategy still treats every prospect as equally cold, you're leaving pipeline on the table. The new constraint isn't willingness to dial. It's access to the right signals before you pick up the phone.

Most SDRs are still building pipeline the hard way. Here's the 7-step AI process top performers are using to hit quota in 2026. 👇 **Step 1 — Run a site diagnostic first.** Before you prospect blind, know where your company stands. AI search shows buyers answers before they ever click. If you're not cited, you're invisible. **Step 2 — Search 275M+ verified contacts.** Filter by title, industry, and location. Stop wasting hours on LinkedIn guessing who holds the right role. Let the database do the heavy lifting. **Step 3 — Enrich every lead automatically.** Missing an email? A phone number? AI finds and verifies it in seconds. No more dead-end records killing your outreach before it starts. **Step 4 — Segment your list.** Not all leads are equal. Group by buying signals, company size, or trigger events. Personalized outreach starts with smart segmentation. **Step 5 — Write sequences that feel personal.** Use verified data to customize subject lines and openers. {{first_name}} is just the start — reference their industry, role, and real pain points. **Step 6 — Automate follow-ups.** Top SDRs don't drop off after one email. Set 3–5 touch sequences with smart delays. Let automation keep you top of mind without manual effort. **Step 7 — Track, learn, and optimize.** Monitor opens, clicks, and replies in one dashboard. Double down on what converts. Cut what doesn't. Repeat. The SDRs hitting quota in 2026 aren't working harder — they're using AI to work smarter at every step.

Sales Tip: Most Deals Are Lost Too Early Most sales aren’t lost because of price. They’re lost because follow‑up stopped too soon. Here’s a simple truth we teach business owners: Most deals close after multiple touches. A smart follow‑up cadence looks like this: • Day 0 • Day 2 • Day 5 • Day 9 • Day 14 • Day 21 • Day 30 Consistent, professional follow‑up builds trust and keeps you top of mind when the buyer is ready.

Cold Calls Fail Because of Tone, Not Scripts. Most cold calls don’t fail because of what is said. They fail because of how it’s said. Nervous tone. Rushed pace. Needy energy. Prospects hear that before they hear your words. That’s why the best script in the world still fails in the wrong state. Top reps don’t just prepare what to say. They prepare how to show up. They reset before dialing. They slow their breathing. They stand up. They smile — even when no one sees it. Because people don’t respond to scripts. They respond to certainty. A calm voice signals confidence. A neutral tone signals control. A relaxed pace signals authority. Cold calling is an energy game disguised as a language game. Fix your state first. The words will land on their own. #ColdCalling #SalesMindset #B2BSales #OutboundSales #SalesSkills We are building Callaborade to reconnect continents that depend on each other, in times when that feels forgotten.
