Strategic AI Deployment for Private Equity and Venture Capital

Serial CEO Meshach Amuah-Foster has deployed AI across 20+ companies under PE/VC pressure—including putting AI agents directly in front of customers at Kayako before it was trendy. Learn his Use Case Matrix Framework for prioritizing initiatives, why “technically impressive” AI features often fail, and how to get board buy-in by presenting multiple options with impact analysis. Plus: why shadow AI creates hidden risks in enterprise environments.

Most people deploy AI once and call themselves experts. Meshach Amuah-Foster has deployed AI multiple times across multiple companies in multiple high-stakes environments – and lived to tell about it.

Serial CEO with 20+ years driving SaaS revenue growth at Vimeo, Kayako, ESW Capital portfolio companies, and Singletrack. He put AI agents directly in front of customers at Kayako (before everyone was doing it). He deployed AI-driven tools for sell-side bankers. He’s overseen AI strategies across 12 portfolio companies simultaneously, each at different maturity levels.

When you’ve done it that many times under PE/VC pressure, you see patterns others miss.
