Every company is unique. Hence every company's problems are unique. SaaS focused on patterns. AI-native shops focus on annoying last mile anomalies. Seems the most obvious idea when you combine AI's personalisation + code-gen acceleration.
Great post from my partner @nbobba.
A clear framework for how foundation model companies are a threat to Vertical AI and where we see opportunity

Possible. But if you stand between the enterprise user and the incumbent SoR you eventually become an unbundled SoR. Bit like the neobank hypothesis that’s played out in fintech
Check out where Systems of Recoard sit in this diagram from @OpenAI Frontier.
At least 3, if not 4, layers of context and intelligence sit between them and the end business application.
It's one of the clearest representations of how AI companies plan to build next-gen systems of action on top of existing SoR, and why the markets are so worried about the future of software companies.
PS: Even the color coding subtly highlights where OpenAI thinks value will accrue. The SoR layer is white and can almost be missed if one don't look closely!

A year ago, when we started @spc India, we were also at '-1.' One guy (me), sitting at a desk (in an office that wasn't ours). Now our community has 70+ members, portfolio is growing, and we’re synonymous with open exploration for the best in the ecosystem!
As a runner, this feels like a long sprint. It feels like we put in enormous effort, to get through every kilometer. But it also feels so good to see, how far we have come in just a year. I'm excited about the talent-density we have here, and that a bunch of these explorations will result in the creation of generational companies from India!
One question that I do keep getting all the time is — "What do people do at SPC? Why do people want to be here? What does it actually feel like to be part of this community?" Since, show >>> talk, let's hear it straight from some of our explorers.

Our very first Demo Faire in India had a packed house! 8 SPC teams demo-ed products across AI tools, hardware, aerospace and more.
Real demos, no slideshows.
Check out what the brightest minds in India are building 🔽🧵

Here's why it's the best way to start a venture scale company

Too many founders get stuck climbing the wrong mountain.
Not by accident, but because an investor pushed them onto the first hill in sight.
This is the danger of commoditized capital and lean startup philosophy.

1/ Happening Soon: -1 to Meesho
@Meesho_Official powers millions of small-town entrepreneurs and is fully reshaping the e-commerce landscape for Bharat. The Meesho story is interesting, gritty and a testament to @viditaatrey 's ambition

1/ We’re humbled to announce @spc Fund III: $275M to support exceptional founders from day -1.
Since 2016, we’ve had a simple thesis: greatness is more likely to emerge when high talent density meets high curiosity. That's why we focus on -1 to 0.

Only about 5% of Indians had internet connections in 2009, but more than 50% do today.
So, while India wasn't really online for web2, it will be a force in web3.
Doing a session with Sequoia India, Polygon, CoinSwitch, Mohash, and more on this topic tonight.
If you’re interested in how India is shaping the #web3 phenomenon then drop in tonight. We will be on at 9 pm IST with @balajis, @0xPolygon, @CoinSwitchKuber, @MoHashProtocol & others. 👊🏻
