Andreessen Horowitz General Partner Anish Acharya highlights the enormous spread between power users and average AI users: "The people that are really using the technology are using it for every aspect of their lives, every aspect of their work." "They're constantly closing loops so the models can do everything... they've also got this sort of almost cultural difference to the fact that the model is... more broadly intelligent, more disciplined, more thorough, more committed than I am." "For those people, you know, it's not psychosis if you've seen God. Like, you know, they just like they're really really at the edge." "For everyone else, you just see what's possible then you see the implications of it. It's like, oh my god." Here Anish references the writings of Benedict Evans.

Nico Rosberg F1 World Champion & Founder of Rosberg Ventures shares he's been cold emailing Shopify CEO Tobias Lütke for three years and that his competitive edge to success is having no fear of failing: "I'm cold emailing all the time and I get rejected 90% of the time...Rosberg Ventures is one of those chances because actually it was like 90% sure it's going to fail." "I've been trying to reach Tobias Lütke, the CEO founder of Shopify. He's a race car driver so that of course is my best angle and I've been trying for 3 years." "Guessing emails, his EA, common friends, everything...could not get him to even acknowledge or write me once." "And I was on the phone with him yesterday".

PolyAI Co-Founder Nikola Mrkšić says not all token-maxxing leads to a vastly better company. It just leads to a payment to Anthropic: "For companies like mine that are enterprise focused, you just really have to think about your customer... they can only transform at a certain rate." "There's a set of enterprises that are moving into this space really aggressively adopting and benefiting... but equally there are many others who are in some form of regulatory or hyperscaler capture."

Ivan Burazin CEO of Daytona says anyone not building for agents is essentially building for no one: "The number of agents will far surpass humans. The question is just by how much... it will be staggeringly larger than anything we've seen." "My chief architect... runs 17 [agents] every single day... our team is 24 of the company and he's running 17." "Anyone building products that is not building for agents is not building for anyone because your market will be agents." "That market is just like vastly larger than the entire human population that exists today."

Euan Blair CEO of Multiverse explains that ensuring AI becomes a "worker enhancer" rather than a "jobs destroyer" requires the enthusiastic buy-in of frontline employees: "We are going to have to press our thumb pretty firmly on the scales to make sure this actually ends up benefiting workers rather than simply displacing them." "It's frontline workers rather than technologists who are going to define just how quickly the way work gets done at organisations changes." "Every company is soon going to be under pressure to justify their AI commitments... we’re moving away from the era where it was just buy AI and then we'll let the rest of it figure itself out."

Alex Bouaziz Co-Founder of Deel explains a role for "managing actual agents" is transforming organisational tech structures and culture in 2026: "One interesting role that's being built up Deel which I'm super excited about, is the idea of agent operations." "Managing actual agents meaning like making sure that all of the workflows or the agents that are being built are not only functioning but improving and changing over time to make sure they fit with the business." "I think this is going to be one of the most crucial roles for most organizations this year for sure."
