## Resource

Consumer startups may grab the headlines, but some of the most valuable companies are built by solving mission-critical problems for businesses. David sits down with Rick Heitzmann, Managing Director at FirstMark Capital, to discuss how he identifies high-growth technology-enabled business services, why sectors like data infrastructure, compliance, marketing technology, and information services continue to generate outsized opportunities, and what separates enduring enterprise businesses from short-lived trends.
