    “The difference between us and the machine is that we have limitations and vulnerabilities.”   In the final Orbit of 2025, we take a moment to lift our heads up from the thrash and join Professor Neil Lawrence, Google DeepMind Chair at Cambridge and former Director of Machine Learning at Amazon, as he cuts through the noise around AI.   Machines can move faster than we can. They can scale further. But they cannot take responsibility.   Accountability requires skin in the game. It requires limits, exposure, and the ability to stand behind a decision. That is what makes human judgement irreplaceable.   Listen to the full episode and hear why Neil believes the next generation will shape AI with more clarity and confidence than today’s debate allows: https://lnkd.in/eVAsEFcr For the latest on Hg and portfolio news, subscribe to our monthly updates: https://lnkd.in/eBRKtdrT

Clear alignment, sharp awareness and the bravery to act: three principles shaping the future of people leadership at Hg. A fantastic conversation on what great HR leadership looks like today and where it’s heading. Read the full article: https://lnkd.in/eBvTb-8i

    In a market crowded with AI-native challengers, Cynthia Gumbert, CMO at Litera, is proving that experience still wins. Rather than chasing hype, Litera focused on customer proof, education, and authenticity. As Cynthia puts it, “Nobody’s buying an agentic workflow. They’re buying results.” By grounding its marketing in real outcomes and community-driven content, Litera is showing how an established leader can outpace newcomers. From customer testimonials to educational programs and even Reddit community engagement, the message is clear: substance beats slogans. In conversation with Thomas Bressie, Portfolio CMO at Hg, Cynthia shares how staying focused on results, not buzzwords, is helping Litera cut through the AI noise and strengthen its competitive edge.

    AI is rewriting the playbook for product leadership. As AI accelerates faster than any previous platform shift, software organisations need to rethink how they build, how they organise, and how they make decisions. In our latest Orbit conversation, product specialist Oji Udezue (formerly of Twitter, Calendly, Atlassian, Typeform, and Microsoft) discusses with Jason Richards how engineering teams can now move at extraordinary speed, powered by AI code generation, automation and new model-driven capabilities. But product discovery, workflow understanding, and customer adoption still move at a human pace. Oji describes this as the three-speed challenge: 1. Customer and market insight, which moves at human pace 2. Engineering execution, now becoming largely unconstrained by AI 3. Go to market, which depends on adoption, behaviour and timing For many years engineering capacity was the bottleneck. That constraint is now lifting, and is in danger of ‘flipping’.  Product and marketing teams must adapt – they need greater operational focus, sharper prioritisation, more rigorous instrumentation, and faster learning cycles to keep pace with the opportunity. AI does not diminish the need for strong product management. It elevates it.

    When James King, CRO at Ideagen, introduced AI across his go-to-market teams, early excitement quickly turned to chaos. Recognising the need for structure, he built the Rev AI Accelerator Program, a framework for governance, data discipline, and focused experimentation. With alignment before scale, Ideagen turned AI experiments into a performance engine, achieving a 40% boost in win rates and 4x higher conversion. In his conversation with Chris Ross, Head of Portfolio Growth at Hg, James shares how fixing fundamentals first turned early chaos into lasting GTM advantage.

    How do AI native start-ups aim for 12 million in 12 months, rather than 2 million in three years? Zalos (YC F25) co founder William Fairbairn explains how Y Combinator’s expectations for AI companies have shifted, and why the phrase “grow to 12 million in 12 months” has become a real target for the strongest teams, not just a slogan. The common pattern he sees is forward deployed engineering. Instead of building in isolation, AI founders are spending deep time with customers, mapping workflows in detail and co creating solutions on site, then scaling those learnings across their product. For investors, founders and operators, it is a useful glimpse into how the AI era is changing the growth playbook. ▶️ Watch the full Orbit 52 episode: https://lnkd.in/e59zfiRw For the latest on Hg and our portfolio companies, subscribe to our monthly updates: https://lnkd.in/g3dpzt2U
