Episode 10 of DualSource Discourse is live! 🎙️ This week, we explore the rise of Private Equity (PE) in the ProcureTech sector 💰. Sarah Scudder - Sales Leader Turned CMO and I discuss the shift from venture capital (VC) firms as the primary funding source to the current landscape where PE plays a significant role. It is important to understand the difference in these funding changes because the motivations for each are vastly different and often changes the behavior of the company and composition of the executive team and employees ⚖️. Additionally, we delve into risk tools and the evolving role of PE, especially in light of the recent Versed AI acquisition by Exiger 😏.

Episode 7 of DualSource Discourse is out now! 🎙️ This week, Sarah Scudder - Sales Leader Turned CMO and I dive into the pay-to-play analyst model, expressing skepticism towards the value these services and individuals offer. 💡 Paying for outdated and stagnant advice is not something I endorse. Moreover, many analyst frameworks are often inaccurate. For instance, Gartner's shift from procure-to-pay to source-to-pay does not align with the current landscape. 📉 It's evident that we have evolved beyond these outdated constructs.

I'm currently on my way to #DPWNYC and this popped into my feed!!! DPW is my favorite event of the year. It is always such an awesome experience full of great interactions, learnings, and technology immersion. Tomorrow Shachi Rai Gupta and I will be talking about process orchestration. I'm sure I may casually mention that process orchestration platforms represent the next generation of procurement platforms (displacing suite providers).
