Are you thinking to build something? Look at what VCs are looking for in 2025-
- GenAI majorly having applications across enterprise and consumer sectors
- Consumer brands (enabled by rapid growth of quick commerce)
- Deeptech space tech and defence
Private financing is going to revive fairly well and we will be seeing a lot of companies do IPO this year!
What sectors are you building or investing in?

Navigating the complexity of our times is simultaneously beautiful and hard, under an increasing pressure to develop competitiveness through #predictive models. To this end, technical knowledge is becoming central to set the roadmap of any exploration, at all scales. While gradient descent guides the training of their parameters, statistical learning tools are ascending to the status of assets -and, sometimes, liability- with direct economic impact on business and on its transformations. In this context, there cannot be better name than "AI Ascent" for hosting these amazing speakers, whose technical wisdom combined with business acumen and clarity is impressive, and inspiring.
At Motive Partners, our mission is to deliver superior value creation.
To that end, last week was a special one for our firm, as we had the honor of hosting our Annual General Meeting, where our dynamic team of Investors, Operators and Innovators came together with our Limited Partners to showcase the power of our value creation algorithm and innovative ecosystem.
Following the culmination of the past 12 months of hard work, discipline and operational excellence, I want to express a heartfelt ‘Thank You’ to everyone in our Motive Partners family, including our teams across our portfolio of specialty companies.
I also want to take this moment to share our deep gratitude for our Limited Partners, who continue to support our proprietary and differentiated private equity IOI model and our deep conviction in the compelling secular trend and opportunity in Fintech.
An extra special ‘Thank You’ to Sarah Bird, Responsible AI pioneer at Microsoft for a thought-provoking conversation on the importance of ethics, governance and regulation in the exciting and rapidly evolving field of Artificial Intelligence.
For those that were unable to join us for the insightful and immersive experience, there are 3 key takeaways from our meeting that I’d like to share:
🔆 Fintech is a powerful force shaping our future and continues to hold all the promise we predicted it would years ago.
🌐 The growing impact of AI is huge and is projected to advance the secular trend in Fintech – and Motive’s technology and engineering DNA makes AI a gift for our “hands-on” capabilities and value creation approach.
🧭 We believe our world class team of Investors, Operators and Innovators, through our proprietary model, is proving to be a formidable asset by allowing us to navigate diverse economic conditions to optimize the scarcity value across our portfolio companies.
We invite you to experience a few highlights from our Annual General Meeting to get a sense of why we, at Motive Partners, hold deep conviction about the opportunity before us, optimism for the future and confidence in our team.

I had the terrific opportunity to attend to a Fondsfrauen event focussed on the finance industry, and to see Annika Kessel on stage, discussing the transformative power of #ArtificialIntelligence!
Annika Kessler shared powerful and interesting insights: "In my two decades in tech, often as the sole woman in boardrooms, I've seen a need for more empathy and compassion. AI, if leveraged correctly, can bring about this change. HR departments are already discussing AIQ, the integration of human and AI capabilities, as a new metric for hiring and development.
We must approach AI with a mindset of ethical responsibility. Every interaction trains AI on how to understand and engage with the world. It’s crucial to inject positivity and ethical considerations into our AI systems. Let's not see ourselves as victims of AI but as its stewards, driving amazing change!"
Some additional takeaways from yesterday:
AI is not just about automating tasks; it's about elevating us to focus on creativity and strategy.
The question now is, what is the human role in the age of AI?

TRANSFORM VC , by Raed A. Masri and Rama Chakaki is one of the best VC firms out there. While they might make tough to get in (and for good reason), they truly champion their founders and foster a true culture of impact that drives super returns. Beyond honored and proud to be part of the family !
You can check out my talk at the AGM where I highlight my work with FlowFinitee Inc (as a Transform portfolio company) to get people to true work life harmony while making the workday more adapted for equal parenting and hence more equity for women but also we tackle the same issue directly with Bridge Funding Global , by empowering women with capital, changing the look of the room and ultimately #bridgingthegap
Come for the preview of where #AI is heading in 2025 (and beyond), stay for why the technology (and progress across industries like #healthcare) keeps Aaref Hilaly up at night "with excitement, not dread!"
GenAI is an increasingly crowded space with many of the biggest names in technology and startups experimenting, including Northwestern Mutual. We have a conviction to be a leader in GenAI adoption. At #ReutersNEXT, I explained how emerging tech is empowering our financial advisors, employees and teams to make better and faster assessments to improve the client experience. Grateful to share the stage with Niki Kouri-Maglaras, Ken Brause and moderator Nicole Valentine to discuss the future of financial services and the ways our companies should approach the changing landscape.
