Abstract Sessions: The Future of Work & End-to-End Solutions

Welcome back to Abstract Sessions, formerly known as the Abstract Webinar Series (yes, we’ve rebranded!). In this episode, Patricio sits down with Caroline Casson, a Partner at Vitalize Venture Capital. Back in October 2021, Caroline was part of the Vitalize team that made a pre-seed investment in Abstract. Her team also made a follow-up investment earlier this year.

During their conversation, Caroline discusses Vitalize’s investment strategy, highlighting the firm’s interest in Abstract. Unlike most of their portfolio companies, which are typically post-product and generating some revenue, Abstract was pre-product and pre-revenue when Vitalize invested.

“We were really excited about what [Abstract] was building because it completely transforms the way something is done today. It takes a process within LegalTech, where people were previously doing everything manually, and provides them with an all-in-one, end-to-end solution that can completely transform the way their business operates.”

Beyond the LegalTech space, the Vitalize team has recognized the value of transformative, data-driven solutions across various sectors. AI technology is becoming industry-agnostic—a true disruptor of traditional, old-school processes everywhere.

Caroline and Patricio’s conversation reminds us that with the rise of AI-powered technology, professionals across every industry should be asking: What is the future of work? Much like the late 90s internet boom, the rapid growth and expansion of AI technology is capturing the attention and curiosity of people worldwide. At companies both small and large, workflows are changing on micro and macro scales due to the implementation of AI tools. Decision-makers are quickly realizing that adopting new technology, particularly LLMs that can leverage data in proprietary ways, is essential. Those who embrace the efficiencies, insights, and time-saving benefits of AI tools will thrive in this new landscape.
