InsightSoftware | SoftBank Robotics
One thing to consider: Don’t just send a random request for connection on LinkedIn. Think about the ‘strategy’ behind it and ask yourself a few questions…
What type of content is this person engaging with?
What content is their ‘company’ putting out? Can I engage in those industries or topics?
Do I have any other connections at the organization? How can I go high and wide?
Think about personalization more than anything.

InsightSoftware makes your financial and operational reporting made easy. Flexible reporting tools, fast analytics dashboards, and controlled budgeting solutions.
Let’s boil it down:
They do both Enterprise resource planning (ERP) and enterprise performance management (EPM)
I think they sit alongside of the finance department to help operationalize the data inside the organization as a key resource
I think they sit on top of ERP systems to help with the reporting cadence to make it easier and Incorporate other data elements
Why we like InsightSoftware
Financial reporting is going to be a market that stays consistent over time - this will always be needed in organizations
Some competitors to check out: SmartERP, BCS ProSoft, Eureka Solutions, ReportsNow, Cofficient, abas ERP, Ataway, Forterro, BlueBridge One and Symphony Softtech.
They’ve got Genstar Capital and TA Associates as backers - unclear If they’ve raised money. You’d need to dig into that a little bit more but these are two respective firms.
They’re not staying still and looking for growth opportunities everywhere
Glassdoor isn’t updated often but there are interesting aspects to read through

SoftBank Robotics leads the power of robotics to benefit humanity.
Let’s boil it down:
Looks like they’re targeting specific industries (commercial cleaning, retail, banking, education, fleet services) to drive more collaborative efforts between robots and humans
Pretty quickly they’ve adapted this for Customer Service, Teaching and Cleaning within these specific industries
Why we like SoftBank Robotics:
Robotics are a part of the future so this industry and the knowledge you gain in this sector will be well-served
SoftBank Robotics is a division of SoftBank, a telecommunications company that also doubles as an investment vehicle. Go do research on them - fascinating stuff out there.
Their financial backing makes for an interesting company because they can target several key acquisitions
I really like the fact that they’re diversifying outside of one industry - this helps to stabilize a business during times like this
Glassdoor is outdated, so this would be a good time to try and solicit feedback from current and former employees
I would geek out over learning this industry; there is immense research you can do. Start on Google with “SoftBank Robotics” in quotations to make sure you zero in on the right company.
