Market Reality

The Market Has Already Moved. Most Portfolio Companies Have Not.

In late January 2026, software indexes fell sharply while broader equity indexes held flat. The repricing reflected one conclusion: agentic AI can automate the knowledge work that per-seat SaaS models were built to support.

The companies that came through unaffected had one thing in common: they owned their intelligence. They did not rent it.
