    Today, Camber announced its Series B round. We at Craft Ventures are excited to share that we’ve been investors since the Seed stage and are again participating alongside Andreessen Horowitz. Camber’s platform is transforming revenue cycle management (RCM) for behavioral health clinics, and we couldn’t be more thrilled to continue our partnership with the team. As diagnoses of conditions like Autism continue to skyrocket — with one recent CDC study estimating that 1 in 44 children in the U.S. is on the autism spectrum — the demand for high-quality care has never been greater. Yet, countless providers struggle with timely reimbursement from insurance plans, hampering their ability to remain financially stable while offering critical care. Camber identified this challenge and set out to build a solution that alleviates the financial stress for providers, empowering them to focus on what matters most: delivering life-changing care. Camber began in the Autism category, but its success has rapidly extended into other healthcare verticals including speech language pathology (SLP), occupational therapy (OT), physical therapy (PT), and neuropsychology. Today, Camber serves over 90,000 children across the United States, and the company’s revenue base grew 5.5x last year alone. By unifying RCM, billing, and analytics in one place, Camber has become the go-to partner for small clinics and large practices alike. Many smaller clinics on Camber grow at twice the rate of those without a comprehensive RCM solution — a testament to how much impact streamlined billing and insightful data can have on the health of a practice. One of the core reasons we invested in Camber is its unprecedented access to billions of dollars in claims data. This data advantage enables Camber to deliver best-in-class billing performance by staying hyper-focused on the nuances of each therapy vertical. But it also offers clinics far more than efficient billing: Camber helps them identify new regions in need of clinical services, strategize better payer negotiations, and glean insights that drive responsible growth. With Camber’s robust data platform, clinics can develop custom reports in mere minutes — tasks that would otherwise take weeks of manual effort. We’re excited to support Camber’s mission to transform RCM. We look forward to many more years working with Christophe Rimann, Nathan Lee, Celina Qi, and the whole team as they continue to expand into new verticals, tackle emerging needs in behavioral health, and ultimately improve how providers serve their communities.

    On February 4th I will have the honor to be the Master of Ceremonies for the 2025 CISO Forum Canada at the Ritz Carlton in Toronto. We have an amazing line up for the day with keynotes on everything from Cyber Warfare to the challenges of managing security in SaaS solutions. We'll be presenting the awards for CISO of the Year and CISO to watch and closing out the day with, one of my favorite events, The Cybersecurity Meetup with Chris Roberts! Last year it was 3 hours of unvarnished, no-BS straight talk with an amazing group. Chris, Ali and myself will bring audience members on stage to discuss any topic they like. In the past we've had CEO's, Gov employees, Law enforcement, Hackers (at the same time!) and of course CISOs. You never know what will happen at one of these sessions! I'm looking forward to seeing everyone there and if you need tix you can get them at https://lnkd.in/gtC_W58H siberX, George A., Octavia N.

    I was honored be asked to present what I see as the future of Cybersecurity given the influences of Ai and Quantum computing at the Security Interest Group Switzerland (SIGS) kickoff here in Zurich. I want to thank Gabi for organizing and amazing event and Yuecel for doing an great job moderating the entire day! It was great to hear from such amazing speakers on the challenges and strategies that are coming for 2025. This was my first time back at SIGs since 2019 and it was great to reconnect with old colleagues and meet new ones! I would like to personally welcome Patrick Gaus from Loft Dynamics to the security community!

    Working across dozens of B2B Craft Ventures portfolio companies, it's 1000% clear that LinkedIn is a powerhouse for building trust, amplifying their brand and, driving meaningful pipeline and customer activity at various funnel stages. How do you get over the cold start problem? Here are 5 key insights for founders, marketers, and GTM leaders to maximize LinkedIn. ______________________ 1. LinkedIn thrives on trust: The bar for content is high—thoughtful, valuable, and authentic posts resonate more than flashy campaigns. 2. Founders make an impact: Founder-led sales and branding are some of the most effective ways to build credibility and drive engagement. 3. Video wins attention: From corporate humor (ClickUp’s style) to educational content, video is one of the most digestible and engaging formats on LinkedIn—shoutout to Chris Cunningham who has taken this to the next level. 4. Personal brands + ICP focus: Whether it’s a founder, or GTM executive, strong individual presences on LinkedIn can amplify messaging and connection with your Ideal Customer Persona (ICP) beyond what "traditional" demand gen. ➝ ➝ ➝ One of my favorite executives in the Craft Ventures portfolio leveraging LinkedIn is Kyle Coleman, CMO at Copy.ai—Kyle does an outstanding job of leveraging relevant, helpful and thoughtful ICP-driven content while sitting in a position of trust in his current and past roles (while also running marketing for one of the best GTM platforms centric around generative AI). 5. Integrated strategies work best: A mix of LinkedIn ads, InMails, video content, and personal thought leadership posts creates a holistic, high-impact presence. ➝ ➝ ➝ I've had the pleasure of working with Peter Fishman, Co-Founder & CEO at Mozart Data, in the Craft Ventures portfolio to use an integrated campaign style with personal posting layered on top of a core demand generation effort (with an actually good E-Book alongside InMails) to validate a GTM thesis while building positive ROI in pipeline and closed-won revenue. ________________________ Want to check out the full session with Ruby James from LinkedIn and Ron Dawson from HubSpot For Startups where talk about this? Watch it here: [Link in comments] Would love additional thoughts on what else is working on LinkedIn now—tagging in some of my other favorite folks:  Adrian Alfieri, Brian Sun, Caroline B., Nigel Stevens, 😻 Maeva Cifuentes, Meg Scarborough

    Account-Based Marketing (ABM) is one of those acronyms that is thrown around all the time. The annoying part? It means 100 different things to 100 different companies based on their motion type — let’s dig in. I love supporting our portfolio here at Craft Ventures on ABM for every motion type: Product-Led Growth (PLG), Product-Led Sales (PLS) and Sales-Led Growth (SLG). The most fun component is refining all the playbooks we used at ClickUp around a mix of PLG and sales-led ABM strategies, with world-class PLS and SLG businesses. I joined Ron Dawson from HubSpot For Startups and Ruby James from LinkedIn to discuss account-based marketing (ABM) strategies for startups, from Seed-stage to Series C and beyond. Here's 8 quick takeaways (below) for all my founders, marketing / growth / GTM leaders and teams out there. ________________________ - How ABM worked at ClickUp: ABM helped organize inbound PLG leads and align them with the sales motion, showcasing the flexibility of ABM. - The simple definition of ABM (for anyone): Selecting high-value accounts and creating tailored strategies to engage and convert. - Marketing's job vs. Sales' job: Marketing creates awareness with targeted content, while sales personalizes outreach and deepens relationships. - Get S&M on the same page: Sales and marketing must agree on the Ideal Customer Profile (ICP) and strategy to drive effective collaboration. - Avoid this for unsuccessful ABM: Many startups struggle with unclear ICPs, insufficient foundational content, and the long-term commitment ABM requires. - Your quick checklist for successful ABM: Prioritize ICP definition, create industry-specific content, and leverage intent data to engage prospects at the right time. - What's happening in ABM for early-stage companies: ABM adoption has surged, with over 90% of Seed and Series A stage startups using it to cut through noise. - Don't forget this in ABM: ABM requires trust-building, patience for long sales cycles, and consistent messaging to keep prospects engaged over time. ________________________ Want to check out the conversation in-depth? You can watch it here: https://lnkd.in/gWpxcDEq Stay tuned for Pt. 2 next week, where we’ll dive into the effective use of LinkedIn for winning in marketing and ABM for all B2B GTM motion types.
