I had dinner the other night with a fascinating group of folks building AI-enabled products. PMs from companies like @perplexity_ai and @harvey__ai, plus engineers and founders. One question kept coming up: Why haven't incumbent software providers been able to leverage their

We raised $1B to fund B2B software companies. Some pushback we got: will software still exist in the age of AI? Won’t companies just build their own software since coding is now cheap/free? In most cases, I don’t think so. I talk about why not with Eric below.

This is one of the best investor focused shows I’ve done in a long time. @emergencecap is one of those brands where if you know VC, you know how good they are. Their track is fricking insane: $2BN Invested : $8BN Returned in Cash Salesforce $275.61BN Veeva Systems $33.04BN

.@jaysimons is a phenomenal piano player, first and foremost. I'm also told he knows something about SaaS GTM. #renaissanceman
Yesterday @jaysimons joined me at stanford and shared how he built/scaled GTM at Atlassian. It's a story of how constraints breed creativity and the good karma that comes from deferring greed, solving for the customer (really) and having the courage to make unorthodox decisions

Find something that gives you as much energy as insanely deep research and business storytelling does for David and Ben. This is the path to building something, as Zuck would say, truly awesome. Congrats, my friends. Awesome indeed.

Ben and David's success is the perfect example of the best career advice I know: do what gives you energy. They started Acquired as a side project almost a decade ago. Through their journeys, they kept coming back to Acquired, pouring more energy in and getting more in return.

I can't stop smiling. Last night, watching @gilbert and @djrosent hosting @AcquiredFM from the Chase Center stage filled me with so much joy. I learned the word to describe this feeling from @nbt : mudita or joy from the joy of others.
