In an interview, Vashee says she decided to join Basis Set in part because of its thesis; in part because of a culture that operates differently from the typical venture shop. “I believe that there’s going to be a new wave of work tools that really revolutionizes every industry on every level, and I want to build that future,” Vashee says.
“We want to be superhuman in the sense that our data science team builds the armor that makes us see better, see further, run faster and process a lot more deals and high-quality investments,” says Xuezhao. So far, Basis Set’s approach has led to investments such as Workstream, a hiring platform; Rasa, which provides conversational AI tools to big businesses; and Ike, which offers automation tools to the trucking industry. Vashee brings perspective from collaboration software and real estate software given her background, but the partners say their focuses within Basis Set are flexible.
