SemperVirens kicks off our latest Accelerator cohort with an action-packed NYC event

SemperVirens Venture Capital was pleased to kick off our Accelerator Cohort #2 last week in New York City. We dove into the history of the employer/employee relationships and how AI is fundamentally reshaping jobs and the workforce, as well as heard from our participating companies Matan Hoffmann at Carefam, Jay Bregman at Andel, Barbora P Howell at TrueClaim and Scott Hebert at Second Door Health.

Key takeaways from an action-packed day:

• Policy changes are shifting precedent from defined benefits to defined contributions, slowly unraveling the incentives that were previously in place for employers to provide healthcare, jobs, career development, and financial security. This paves the way (and creates a critical need) for new delivery mechanisms to get people the health, money, and work experience that they need to thrive.
• Even if you're building a B2B AI solution, employee buy-in and overall market buzz can be a key catalyst to enterprise adoption. Leaders want their employees to be excited about AI, and often that means letting them use the "hottest thing out there".
• In many cases, agents are performing as good or better than entry-level hires when it comes to output, accuracy, and ability to operate independently.
