THE NEW RULES FOR FUNDRAISING IN THE AI ERA

Vivek Ramaswami and colleagues at Madrona outline how AI has disrupted traditional fundraising benchmarks. Rapid spikes in user growth and revenue no longer signal durable success, so investors now focus on momentum, unit economics, clear expansion pathways, and customer dependence. Founders must prove that growth is sustainable, customers are genuinely locked in, and their business has a defensible trajectory rather than just hitting arbitrary ARR milestones.

PMF IS A LAGGING INDICATOR. START WITH HABIT FORMATION INSTEAD

Grant Lee argues that Product-Market Fit is a lagging metric and advises founders to focus first on whether they are building recurring habits rather than one-off solutions. By targeting frequent, low-friction problems and designing products that users invest in quickly, startups can create sticky behaviors that drive long-term engagement. Examples like Slack and Gamma illustrate how habit-focused design outperforms solutions that only address infrequent or high-friction needs.

SOFTWARE IN A POST-ABUNDANCE WORLD

AI is transforming software production by making it cheaper and faster, leading to smaller teams, reduced margins, and shifting value from code creation to decision-making and integration. This shift challenges old economic models where large teams thrived under abundant capital and growth incentives, pushing the industry towards leaner operations and disposable software. Capital now focuses on leveraging AI in areas like healthcare and manufacturing, where software integration with domain expertise is harder to replicate, refining the industry's focus from quantity to strategic depth and adaptability.
