Why Lightspeed is leading a $43M Series B in Tome: Storytelling at the Cost of Zero
AI-assistant tool for a slides deck generation raised 43M Series B with Lightspeed Venture Partners (major
#VC firm) as a lead investor.
TLDR: Lightspeed invested in Tome because they believe it can disrupt the massive workplace storytelling market. They think that the combination of Tome’s:
* easy-to-use creative tools
* an innovative and responsive cloud-native presentation format
* AI-powered generative storytelling
will be able to provide enough added value for users to change how people work with slides.
According to their vision, Tome is democratizing creativity by reducing the friction between idea and execution, which enables anyone to tell a compelling story without needing to be an expert storyteller, slides guru or management consultant. This innovation in format and tools has potential for generating tremendous economic value for both creators and the platform, and Lightspeed believes that with Tome's strategy and team it is something achievable.
This is a really good example on what innovation can be powered by

#midjourney and other
#AI tools.
Not only Lightspeed believes it and puts in a check, but the essay itself is available in a form of tome — only deck served with accompanying video narrative.
