The more sensors, edge computing devices, the more investment action points we have in the network, the more data you collect the bigger pattern of behaviour you see when you put them all into one centralized graph the smarter this graph becomes for everybody the better predictions it can produce for the next best action. Now this is where this second loop of network starts: the better the predictions are the more effective decisions are made, less uneffective action are made.

So more and more players will be lured in with this higher efficiency tool.

Imagine you are an investor and you know that your investment is undergoing pressure from the macro trend winds, and your competitor are experiencing the same wind and pressure but they are able to reorganize the sails and come out of the storm on top of the game and had a zero downtime, because they started collecting the data about the wind 5 years ago and now they see the pattern. If your competitor automated the business processes you did not — You are disadvantaged, but you can go to the same vendor and buy the same assembly line and catch up. But If you miss the AI boat the results are very different. If you did not collect the data early enough. There is nothing you can do to make your AI better than your competitor’s. Even if the data is shared the AI has been trained on your peculiar Behavior and the market responds to it for three years longer. It’s so unlike automation like the Industrial Revolution from a hundred years ago.

So my prediction is that 10 years from the landscape of top capital players will look very different than now because some companies did not get into collecting the data and training their machine learning models early enough.

The AI analytic is the technology that everyone’s going to get access to eventually and so any hesitation is going to be a relic years from now.

Think about hierarchical databases in the 70s. Do you know of any today exist anymore? Then the next day the cloud SQL happened and now we’re talking about Salesforce.

With the Panoptic Insights tool, The data that an investor or entrepreneur needs in order to make a decision is actually being pushed to you in a prepackaged way. It’s the action insights.

Just the tip of the informational feed

Everything you need to know to complete this action is right here pushed to you.

Most of the decision helping systems of the future will have this informational feed and minimum choice, bringing a maximum focus on one thing in front of you.

The decision maker will see the information and the result of mathematical modeling upon this information. That’s all we’re going to show you.

We help investors to become quicker. Reducing time-capital resources spent on due diligence.

You are able to focus on what really needs human judgment — making a decision.

There are two modes in which AI decision making works with people.One is called autopilot. And another one is copilot. So autopilot is when you’re working on something that has some repetitive low value add tasks and so AI can easily automate that for you. So think of the Uber analogy: receiving a phone call -> typing the picking up spot ->use radio to deliver info. That’s just not the best use for all those billions of neurons in your brain. So AI comes in to do those functions freeing up your time to do something much more productive and much more effective.

The second is copilot: Info Feed is augmenting your ability to make decisions. Think you are a startup, you are in a strict acquisition timing frame, and so now comes the decision to scale onto a new market, imaging you are a driver in a race car on unknown track and there’s someone next to you that knows what’s around the corner and whispering in your ear what to be ready for.

Panoptic Insight co-pilot allows you to focus on more human face-to-face and more EQ driven things that machines will not be able to do for a long long time.

Why should you use Panoptic Insights as an investor? Because the 10x rule.

10x the value of being on the system then being off the system. Don’t want these kinds of insights or thinking that there is a better way of spending 1000$ a month? Great. Let’s not put you on the platform. Let’s take an A/B test and see what happens.

When the Investor next to you or the business next to you did 10x your results and the only variable we have is you were afraid of being a user of a modern system.

This is going to fundamentally shift how the small and mid sized Industries work.

The level of expertise big players put into the decision making is enormous. But small and mid-sized businesses now can use this role model thanks to Panoptic Insights

The decision making patterns on the investment deals have been here for decades, this is how the biggest fund in the world, the Black Rock, makes decisions. These guys are pioneers in data based decision making. And this particular decision making algorithm had been acquired only by a top player of the game, leaving the rest 95% of smaller scale capital volumes off the table. Because big guys play with big numbers. But guess what:

The small players have entered the chat. And all those investors with an enormous amount of fractured capital, like small entrepreneurs that have $10000 of savings decided to build a startup.

That person had no access to the finest Universities or MBAs and has no powerful friends and allies. His knowledge pool about the market/customer behaviour is poor and even if he finds the info from open sources, the question arises “what to do with all this information”, where is the best market for my passion, for my energy? Who are my clients, I don’t have the resources to attract those marketing agencies charging a 50k$+ on marketing research. I should do it all by myself. Panoptic Insights enters the chat.

So let’s think about the day of a founder of a startup. In an average week itself people spend about a third of their time on manual data research/input, and a third of time is always to be spent on prospecting “who else looks like my current customers”, which from a computer science perspective is a very classic problem that was solved 30–40 years ago.

And only a third of the time he spends in face-to-face meetings actually selling, actually building relationships. Now, the first part, the manual data research, should be gone. It should be fully automated through autopilot capability.

Just like every plant has growing points hidden within, every startup has growing points hidden as well. And Panoptic Insights tool helps you to see it.

The second part is who you should talk to next — who is your growth point, who will bring the value to your product and your passion?

Also, very easy to solve with the help of look-alike modeling machine learning pointing you to very high value add prospects or customers and actually helping your automate the outreach to them. And then a third part which is being face-to-face with customers truly building relationships is where machines cannot replace humans. So five ten years from now knowledge workers will be actually focused on EQ.

But relationship building activities still should go with co-pilots’ help because Panoptic Insights co-pilot will recommend how to build a better relationship.

What does the product of tomorrow look like for me?

In the next 5–10 years every area of our existence will probably go through a transition and will instead of being inundated by a bunch of chrome tabs, will be inundated by a few informational feeds that tell us what to do. I think there are cycles of bundling and unbundling playing out here.

In Panoptic Insights we love the latest wave of machine learning applications. The use cases are getting increasingly precise and tailored to the end user.

The next big point you as an investor can get from Panoptic Insights is that Timing is everything and if you get an opportunity to move forward aggressively — do it.

Not as easy as it looks

The second point: size of the market really matters. No one wants to play in small markets, even if you will capture 80% of the market you will still get poor revenue under millions.

Human beings like the data if they understand it. This is what Panoptic Insights is all about:

We make data analytics instant, efficient, and easy for everyone.

But there’s still something about Human Experience — human empathy that you really can’t replace with a computer or data.

And also my personal view of the informational feed running through the people’s minds- I see all this doomsday thinking like this whole wave of Automation and augmentation that is making people pretty nervous at the macro picture. But I also see all this micro level evidence that this Data-driven approach just really transforms the workforce — If people are really getting more meaning out of their jobs and they really start to love that.

They can focus on exactly what they’re good at. You’re really good at something like you want to be the best investor, you want to be the best designer, the best computer scientist. That’s what lives deep inside of human beings — we’re all striving towards. And that self-mastery is what the copilot specifically helps you amplify.

Panoptic Insights co-pilot actually gives you guidance on how to become better, more effective, and learn faster on becoming a master at what you do — investing time, energy, resources.

Now let’s dive into the next big thing that we, a team of Panoptic Insights, are focused on. The persona telemetry.

From the small-mid sized venture capital Investor perspective and how Panoptic’s solution will empower his current investment.

You have a project you invested $1m. This project has a team and leader, and you have made your decision based on the inner instinct of liking the persona of the leader and few other criterias. But the main player here is the leader. It is a crucial criteria of a venture decision making algorithm in early stages. As the ability to keep sustained effort is of the most important characteristics of a leader’s persona. It’s one of the most important factors affecting the decision. If your leader is not capable of sustained effort and is easily distracted or has low energy levels — even the best market conditions and the best business models and a great great product fits won’t hold up to the promise. It’s like subtracting the sun from the solar system. Each persona has energy drawbacks and energy resources. Panoptic Insights made a psychometrics profile of your leader and gave you the information in a very simple form:

what activities are the source of energy for your leader

what activities are drawbacks of energy for your leader

Encourage the activities from the first list, and avoid the activities or communication patterns from the second list:

Don’t apply excessive parental control to him

During the season change, invite him over to Zero-G plane experience.

This is an investment into your leader’s energy levels. Give an honest answer to yourself right now, if you would be a startup leader who has just picked up the phone call from a person that believed in your powers and ideas and gave you an opportunity to scale your passion, and from that phone call you get an invitation to a fully paid and organized Zero G plane experience with that person — would that situation pump you up? And as investor, are you ready to invest additional $20000 in something that will fill up your leader with energy for the next 6 month?

So to sum it up:

During the coming decades, as a capitalist, it’s your responsibility to make highly effective decisions.

Fail to do so and your persona could lose contracts and face public censure.
