Celebrating another record quarter! After hitting 143% of our Q3 target, Team PP spent the afternoon at the Races celebrating in style. Our founder, James Whipp, wrapped up the quarter last week, but we wanted to take a moment to highlight some amazing individual and team achievements: Top Performers: - Joe Marron – 294% of target - James Cato – 185% of target - Jordan Goodenough – 173% of target - Monie Rogers – 133% of target - Brad Houston – 130% of target - Samson Abodunrin – 115% of target - Team Pivotal Partners – 143% of overall team target 🙌 With an average team attainment of 127%, it’s safe to say we’ve had a successful (and busy!) quarter. Thanks to everyone at Pivotal for their hard work and dedication. We couldn’t do it without you. FY25 has been huge so far - we’re already at 106% of our yearly company quota so we’ve raised the bar with a new stretch goal...currently at 75% and counting. We couldn’t be more excited heading into the new quarter with huge momentum and some very exciting hiring announcements coming soon… 👀 #PivotalPartners

Former Sequoia Capital Matt Miller just launched Evantic Capital - a $400M fund aimed at backing the next wave of European AI, infra & B2B scale-ups. - Backed by founders & operators “legends” who’ll also mentor portfolio companies. - Already secured ~$355M in commitments. - Headquartered in London, with global ambition. This isn't just another fund - it’s an entirely fresh model bringing builders directly into the fabric of VC. Huge potential to reshape Europe’s growth-stage ecosystem. Congrats to Matt Miller & the team — can’t wait to see what Evantic backs next! https://lnkd.in/e-XZhZDf

I’ve been promoted to Senior Operations & Strategy Manager!! 🎉 When I joined Pivotal Partners, we were a team of 4 in a small office overlooking St Kath’s Docks (best views in London!). Fast forward 18 months, and we’re now a team of 20+, in a 40-person office, with a fully functioning back-office team, an international office in Austin, multiple award wins, and still growing! Big thanks to James & Harry for letting me take on building ops and for trusting me not to break things too badly. I may be biased, but what we’re building here is pretty special and I couldn’t be more excited for what’s next. Here’s a snippet of what life at Pivotal has looked like over the last 12 months:

Prepping for our Q3 QBR, and reviewing a Pivotal Partners quarter I’m super proud of. In a recruitment start-up, it’s easy for 1 OR 2 standout performances to fabricate the success of a business. To our founding team who took a bet on us at the early stages and didn’t see the instant success, nothing makes Harry Thornton and me more pumped than seeing everything come together. A few standout performances to shout out: Joe Marron - 294% of target. 15 hires made. James Cato - 185% of target. 9 hires made. (Top Biller) Jordan Goodenough - 173% of target. 7 hires made. Monie Rogers - 133% of target. 4 hires made. Brad Houston - 130% of target. 6 hires made. Samson Abodunrin - 115% of target. 5 hires made. Promotions: Monie Rogers - Promoted from Associate to Talent Partner. Ben Clifton - Promoted from Associate to Talent Partner. Annalisa Girgenti - Promoted to Senior Operations & Strategy Manager. Quick success builds ego, slow success builds character. Thank you to our team; without you, we don’t exist. So excited for what’s next. Let’s go, team PP!

We first met Mirko in Solingen in 2017 ahead of partnering with him and the team building IBM Instana. Early on, it was clear that Mirko was not only an exceptional entrepreneur but a genuine leader in the tech community - not just in Germany, but globally. Instana went on to become a global leader in Application Performance Management and was acquired by IBM three years later for $500M. When Mirko started building Dash0, we were keen to join him and the team on their journey again. He is a seasoned founder with entrepreneurial DNA and his experiences building codecentric AG and Instana ensure he has developed strong product and market insights, and a versatile skill set. Importantly, he has the hunger to build a large, enduring global business. Today, as we co-lead Dash0’s Series A with Cherry Ventures, we’re excited to continue our partnership with Mirko and the Dash0 team. Their deep experience, the rapid adoption of the platform, and the vision for Agent0 as an AI-native copilot positions the company to become a leader in the next generation of observability. Dash0 has already shown incredible momentum in less than a year, and this is only the beginning. Congratulations, Dash0!

We’re hiring - Sales Engineer (DACH) We’ve partnered with a global SaaS vendor that is redefining how businesses operate. With $230M ARR, a 9-year average customer lifecycle, and logos such as CapitalOne, Toyota, and Apple, they’re trusted by over 9,000 customers worldwide. Having successfully built out their Sales Engineering function in the US, they’re now expanding into the DACH region and hiring their second Sales Engineer in Germany. You’ll be joining a high-performing team of 20 and working directly with a CRO who previously scaled his last company to a $2B acquisition - helping drive growth across enterprise accounts. If you have a background in pre-sales and knowledge in ERP, Automation, BI, or Data tools, we’d love to hear from you. Reach out to Weronika Nazarko for more information.

More big moves in AI this week... Cohere just raised another $100M, hitting a $7B valuation only a month after its last round. Even bigger? They’ve partnered with AMD to make their full Command model suite run on Instinct GPUs - breaking away from the NVIDIA-only narrative.This isn’t just about fundraising. It’s about strategy: - Diversifying compute options in a world where GPUs are scarce. - Giving enterprises more control and choice over where their AI runs. - Positioning hardware partnerships as a core competitive edge. The AI race isn’t just model vs. model anymore - it’s about who you run on, and who you run with. Excited to see how this reshapes the enterprise AI landscape. https://lnkd.in/eCxjUSbz

Databricks and OpenAI have announced a multi-year, $100 million partnership to bring OpenAI’s latest models, including GPT-5, directly into the Databricks Data Intelligence Platform and its flagship product, Agent Bricks. The integration will make advanced AI capabilities natively available to more than 20,000 Databricks customers across cloud environments, empowering enterprises to build production-grade AI applications and agents on governed datasets without the friction of data duplication or complex integration. Ali Ghodsi, co-founder and CEO of Databricks, highlighted the rising demand for customised enterprise AI, stating, “This partnership makes it easier for enterprises to securely leverage their data and OpenAI models at scale with best-in-class governance and performance.” Brad Lightcap, COO of OpenAI, emphasized the importance of bringing AI closer to business data, saying, “Our partnership with Databricks brings our most advanced models to where secure enterprise data already lives, making it easier for businesses to experiment, deploy, and scale AI agents with real impact.” Enterprises such as Mastercard are already embracing the collaboration. Greg Ulrich, chief AI and data officer at Mastercard, noted that the partnership gives them an opportunity to create reliable AI agents powered by the most advanced OpenAI models, ensuring secure and scalable AI adoption. The agreement also formalises technical collaboration between the two companies, with Databricks and OpenAI teams set to co-develop optimisations for enterprise workloads. Leveraging Databricks’ Unity Catalog, the joint effort will ensure observability, compliance, and governance while extending their ongoing partnership, which already includes OpenAI’s use of Databricks for AI training data and Databricks’ role in hosting gpt-oss, OpenAI’s open-weight model.
