Pop any venture firm’s website into the wayback machine , peruse the bios from the late 90s, and you’ll see statements like “I invest in Internet companies.” Or Web2.0 or SoLoMo. At the time, it made sense. But not anymore. Why isn’t time kind to these types of proclamations? Novel infrastructure often enables new software.

Many countries have regulations and laws in place to ensure you don’t design a building without accounting for a wheelchair ramp, for example.

Microsoft is backing away from its public support for some AI-driven features, including facial recognition, and acknowledging the discrimination and accuracy issues these offerings create. But the company had years to fix the problems and didn’t. That's akin to a car manufacturer recalling a vehicle rather than fixing it. Despite concerns that facial recognition technology can be discriminatory, the real issue is that results are inaccurate.

As an engineering leader, it can be challenging to make sense of this evolving landscape, but agent tooling provides such high value that it’s critical we figure out how to move forward.

Q: Dear SaaStr: When Should The CEO Step Away From Sales? Never. It’s just, as you scale, what you do in the sales process as CEO evolves and changes. I remember when we closed Groupon as one of our Ten (or so) Largest customers, back in the day. This was probably 2009 or so. They’d brought us on shortly after they’d deployed Salesforce all across the company.

Customers would not know if they need or desire a product/ service until you show it to them. This is exactly what you should be doing at your B2B sales meetings – you need to show companies that they need your products or services to run better.
