Every business eventually hits the same wall: the tool we bought doesn’t quite do what we need.

I think Path might be able to reach approximately $1T revenue in 2030

We spent the week talking to small business owners around Austin

Here’s what running a business here actually looks like:

[Billy Kraft @billykraft]

Internal tools are some of the most valuable software a company has.

[Billy Kraft @billykraft]

Software used to be built by engineers. Now it can be built by operators.

[Billy Kraft @billykraft]

You won't be successful if you're chasing money. Being a SMB owner means loving what you do, not just a paycheck or you won't last a year.

[Billy Kraft @billykraft]

There are 30M+ small businesses in the U.S. Almost none of them have software built specifically for them.

[Billy Kraft @billykraft]

Most businesses only use about 30% of the features in the tools they pay for.

[Billy Kraft @billykraft]

SaaS created standardization. AI will create differentiation.

[Billy Kraft @billykraft]

The best internal tools are the ones your competitors don’t have.

[Billy Kraft @billykraft]

Every founder eventually learns this: distribution matters more than product.

[Billy Kraft @billykraft]

The most interesting companies right now are building software that builds software.

[Billy Kraft @billykraft]

One founder can't do everything themself, no matter how badly they want to. Find the right tools so you can delegate intentionally and prioritize effectively.

[Billy Kraft @billykraft]

Eventually every business will run its own software stack. Not bought. Generated. Then regenerated again and again.

[Billy Kraft @billykraft]

AI isn’t just automating work. It’s removing the cost of custom software.

[Billy Kraft @billykraft]

We launched Path at SXSW in Austin.

Old software

Company → buys SaaS → adapts to tool

New software

Company → AI → bespoke, evolving systems

[Billy Kraft @billykraft]

The future of software isn’t more tools. It’s fewer tools that do exactly what your business needs.

[Path @pathsystems]
