  1. Operating partners need emotional intelligence and people skills alongside technical expertise for AI work.
  2. Portfolio companies face pressure to move from AI pilots to implementation with measurable ROI.
  3. AI investments should be prioritized by business impact rather than efficiency gains alone.
  4. Operating partners need management team buy-in and leadership alignment around a shared vision for AI adoption.
