startups @vercel ▲ | let's talk playbook, mistakes + lessons learned from the best startups right now. live field notes here

[Jay Yang @Jayyanginspires]

CEO of Stripe's advice to young ambitious people:

[Guillermo Flor @guilleflorvs]

BREAKING: Patrick Collison just told the Valley exactly where the next Stripe gets built.

And it's not an AI lab.

Asked what he'd build if starting from scratch, Collison pointed directly at legacy vertical software — decades-old systems still running healthcare, logistics, construction, finance.

Entire industries. Still on 1990s infrastructure.

Every ambitious founder is chasing foundation models right now.
Collison is pointing at the opposite end of the stack.

The most defensible businesses often come from the places everyone else decides are too boring to touch.

Is the Valley sleeping on the biggest opportunity in software right now?

A model that can't write a sentence just became one of the hottest models on @vercel AI Gateway.

Jev makes decisions: route this, approve that, which model should handle this.

Office hours tomorrow on choosing the right model per task, with AI Gateway, Jev and @eve.
