Sachin Dev Duggal Engineer.ai Funding Round

Engineer.ai, the human-assisted AI that helps companies build and operate custom-made software, has raised Series A funding of $29.5 million, led by Lakestar and Jungle Ventures with participation from Softbank’s DeepCore.

Led by serial entrepreneur Sachin Dev Duggal Engineer.ai was created with the belief that everyone should be able to build their ideas without needing to code, and that any idea can be brought to life without wastage of time, money or resources.

Sachin Dev Duggal, Co-founder and Chief Wizard of Engineer.ai. said, “The capital comes at a time of rapid growth and will propel the platform into the mainstream, allowing Builder to open the door for entire categories of companies that could not consider it before.”

The company will use 65 percent of the fresh capital for engineering purposes and the rest for customer acquisition, it said in a statement. The current headcount in the company is 150 across the globe, and the company claimed that it will double this to 300 by June 2019.

The platform has 32,000 engineers right now, of which 10,000 are from India. “This will go up to 250,000 engineers from India within 24 months,” said Engineer.ai.

Bootstrapped since 2012, Sachin Dev Duggal, Engineer.ai is a global company with split headquarters in Los Angeles and London, supported by offices in Delhi and Tokyo. The company’s newly launched product called ‘Builder’ is an AI-powered Software Assembly line that breaks projects into small building blocks of re-usable features that are customised by engineers for bespoke software “at a fraction of the price and time of traditional development”, it claims.

Engineer.ai also provides fully integrated service to its customers from extended warranty via BuilderCare to the CloudOps marketplace that provides access to everything the software might need, including hosting, microservices and marketing.

Darren Huston Amsterdam Memories

I am Darren Huston, well known business person. Everybody praised my business decision which leads my organization several steps ahead. Well-being a business person I don’t get that much time for personal life but whenever I get sometime I also love to do small small things to give myself relaxation.

Amsterdam city is among one of the beautiful places of Netherlands. Here you can visit several places few are my favourites like Vondelpark, it located in the Old South district of Amsterdam. This beautiful park serves as a popular gathering spot for locals and tourists as well.It’s a place where people can walk, relax, play sports on the grass, bike along pathways and enjoy a herring sandwich or Dutch beer at one of the park’s horeca facilities. I, Darren Huston usually like this place for walking I love walking, here I love to walk barefooted. Barefooted walking is good for your body, it relax your muscles, increase blood circulation.

Second place is Scheepvaart museum or National Maritime Museum, this museum is features with 18 rooms of exhibits and artifacts.The museum’s collection of carvings gives visitors’ idea that how sailors passed their time while at sea. Moored outside the museum is a replica of the Amsterdam, an 18th-century ship which sailed between the Netherlands and the East Indies.

Third is Bloemenmarkt, this is the world’s only floating flower market. This market consist more than a dozen different florists and garden shops as well as souvenir stalls.Here anyone can purchase tulip, narcissus, daffodil and other bulbs as a lasting memento of their trip to Amsterdam. Flower variety of this place is incredible. Here you can find unique and fresh flowers.

Last but not the least Canals of Amsterdam, built during the 17th century to control the flow of the Amstel River and to add acres of dry land to the city. A boat ride along one of the city’s 100 canals offers visitors a relaxing way to view traditional Dutch architecture. Lined with elm and lime trees and crossed over by more than a thousand bridges, the canals are home to some 2,000 houseboats, including houseboat hotels.

Priceline Group CEO Darren Huston Double the Hotel Bookings

Expedia’s acquisitions versus the Priceline Group’s “competitive moat.” Rock, paper, scissors. It’s an interesting contest and in the $1.4 trillion global travel market, both companies can be winners. Expedia is trending upward and Priceline is showing strong growth, as well.

While Expedia dominated headlines with its more than $6 billion worth of acquisitions in 2015, the Priceline Group needs to win the narrative back and CEO Darren Huston made his case about his company’s competitive advantages.

“Our capabilities and scale in partner acquisition, customer experience, and efficient demand generation plus our large installed base of accommodations and loyal travelers give the Priceline Group a competitive moat that is deep and wide,” Huston said. [For Darren Huston elaboration on these points, see excerpts from the Priceline Group’s fourth quarter earnings call February 17 at the bottom of this post.]
