Array Ventures All Things Enterprise Conference in June was a success! We had over 100 VCs, half of our founders, and many LPs in the room. Four companies raised their follow-on rounds in Q3 from meeting some VCs at the conference. 🎉🎉🎉
One of the popular sessions was from one of Array Ventures early founder Noam Ben-Zvi of Placer.ai. You can watch his session on his 0 to $100M ARR journey here 🎥.
