Alexandre Pelletier stands out for his focus on how enterprise software companies actually grow—he argues that startups shouldn't try to sell directly to giant companies but should instead work through implementation and systems-integration partners, a point he calls central to his thinking, and his background includes writing in detail about what virtual reality would require from telecom networks, showing a strong grounding in real infrastructure. He also writes about markets with unusual depth for a venture investor, discussing things like inflation, interest rates, and dry powder in 2023, and he was open about being wrong when public markets improved faster than he expected.
