Fundamentally, we think traditional application software is going away.

Most of the SaaS you use today will be accessed through AI agents via API rather than directly. Any UI you need will get generated on the fly, purpose-built for the task at hand.

You won't adapt to someone else's interface — you'll describe what you need and get it instantly, connected to your real data.

2025 was the year of coding agents. 2026 is the year this extends to all knowledge work. Instant Apps is our first big step toward that future.

@modic123 @RevolutApp @Spotify @Deliveroo @Adyen @OxfordSciEnt 💯 There are lessons in operating expertise learned at successful scale ups that teach you what great looks like. Add Monzo to the list (eg @incident_io)

[Micah Smurthwaite @Smurda]

@rakyll It could be, if using @grafbase

[Micah Smurthwaite @Smurda]

@stevekrouse @vercel @northflank @supabase I like @grafbase for both the backend and db

[Micah Smurthwaite @Smurda]

@paulg This is why time travel debugging and @replayio will become the standard

@yuris True, but the playbook doesn't have to be fully written - it's not hardcoded. 1st sales hire will run experiments and the sales process will evolve. Biggest mistake is to hire AEs from big companies who are great at executing a process, not building it.

@justingordon212 For b2b startups @AlchemistAcc is the best I’ve seen. Class size capped at 20 so you get real engagement. All mentors are from b2b backgrounds. Helps technical founders with GTM.

[Micah Smurthwaite @Smurda]

@sarahcat21 As a salesperson I was always looking for internal (e.g. product usage) and external (e.g. technographics) data sources to enrich prospect lists, but I didn’t care if they were embedded in SFDC or just on a separate G doc.

[Micah Smurthwaite @Smurda]

@yuris I think you mean, you don’t need sales because it’s all product-led growth

[Micah Smurthwaite @Smurda]

Thrilled to partner with @GeoffQL and the @apollographql team, and announce our investment in their $130M series D.

With @ApolloGraphQL we go from making multiple API requests to a single query, and from overfetching to receiving only data we want. https://t.co/Slhw2fcdiO

@ArielRenous Operator Angel syndicates with domain expertise. @SVCIangels is a great group of CISOs. @OperatorCollect has great operators across all domains. If I were a founder, I’d want as many experienced operators helping me as possible
