While investors and founders are buzzing about startups revolutionizing the world with AI agents, it's worth turning our attention to what some of the "boring" established SaaS companies have been up to this summer.
Thank you for sharing these take aways. I've observed that businesses who are more conservative from a technical risk perspective have generally been hesitant to put their confidential data in public cloud SaaS. This is probably less of the case for major cloud players like Salesforce, ServiceNow, and Workday and more so the case for B2B Enterprise Startups.
Do you have any advice for B2B startups on how they can pentrate the Enterprise and capitalize on wave of AI agents that are coming and will transform the future of work?
Corey, thank you for engaging with me! This is a great question. AI agents or not, it has always been an uphill battle for startups who have required enterprises to move their data to the cloud. There have been solutions such as making everything work within the customer’s VPC, leveraging models pre-approved by the enterprise, to leveraging agents within the enterprise environment (rather than in the startup’s). Ultimately, there is no silver bullet. It’s very problem and industry-specific.
