How Dr Umair Khan PhD and I raised USD$425K in pre seeds for Sahl AI. (2/3 of the funds were raised from angel investors and operators.) If you would have told the Ammar few years back that you'd be able to close $425,000 in investments with only an idea, story and an LOI, I wouldn't have believed you. The following tactics helped with our fund raising: → Tell a simple and clear story → Practice your story → Land the investors together → Don't react to valuations, let the market decide → Keep the frame in your control → Incentivise existing investors for referrals → Don't waste time with people who won't invest → Close quickly Simple checklist that worked for us. (Note: the above won't work if you don't have the fundamentals down: a high quality team, clear strategy, and a solid understanding of the market.) Will this checklist work for future fund raises? We are planning a fund raise in 3-months, so we'll see 😀. If you are interested to learn what we are building at Sahl AI, and how we are simplifying healthcare, let's talk.

This is great to see. Fifth Dimension AI were our first Case Study on the #GenerativeAIforRealEstatePeople course. It was so clear how strong their pitch was and the size of the opportunity awaiting them. And to date they have executed with aplomb. Generative AI has extraordinary potential within real estate. Once you break the industry down into actual ‘tasks to be done’ you can see use cases galore. And with immediate utility. Sure Predictive AI also has a strong place, but the lack of high quality actionable data is such that rollout is hard. Those who can make things happen are very well placed but as an industry we can get 10X, 100X more out of Gen AI TODAY than we can with Predictive AI. Cohort 7 will start in November. And onwards and upwards Fifth Dimension AI !

Building 'safe' AI may not be the most effective way to ensure AI safety. AI is just a tool. It's the people who use that tool I should fear the most. Especially those who join in and add to the marketing noise not knowing what it is they are helping promote. #ai

Worth investigating if you spend a lot of time dealing with the dull but important details of commercial property. Disclosure: I have a (very small) investment in Fifth Dimension AI via Love Ventures.
