About
What does AI actually look like inside a lean VC finance team? A year after Giant’s Ben Urwin shared how the firm built its data stack, Rob Hicks, CFO of Giant Ventures, picks up the story with what happened next. That includes retiring the AI agent they built themselves, and why it was the right call. Rob walks through practical workflows any fund can borrow, from quarterly reporting to quick-to-build tools that benefit the wider team. He also explains why none of it works without the data layer underneath.
