📝 New Post After last night's debate in the US and the upcoming elections in France, it's probably difficult to think about anything other than the evolution of the political landscape these days. But if you do or feel like taking a break, Alexandre and I have done some work on i) Mapping the European Vertical SaaS ecosystem: https://lnkd.in/edvK4Dxa ii) Writing an article with some of our most recent learnings investing in and working with Vertical Software businesses: https://lnkd.in/eeG9eB3M We hope this sparks some interest - looking forward to continuing this work/conversation. Don't hesitate to write to us at verticalsoftware@pointnine.com if we missed you on the map. The ecosystem is so big by now that we have necessarily missed a bunch. Thanks to all the people who helped build the database!

Edit video faster than text with Detail. Most video editors today still look very much like Adobe Premiere 1.0 – introduced more than 30 years ago. The form factor of editors did not adapt to how we record, edit, and share video on mobile today. With our new Story Editor, you can now navigate and edit your video with ease, whether it’s a 60-second presentation or a 30-minute interview. You can remove a sentence or silence as fast as you can swipe. Instead of pushing you to a desktop editor to edit video presentations, interviews, product demo’s, or video podcasts, we’re building a better way to create video on your phone. With Detail we make it easier to share your story with video. We combine the simplicity of a camera app with an AI-powered video editor. We create one streamlined experience to record, edit and share better video faster. 📲 Get Detail on the iOS App Store
