AI Disrupts B2B Software Business Models
7.2
The author argues that AI, catalyzed by Claude 3.5's June 2024 release, is rapidly redefining B2B software from feature augmentations to AI-driven work completion. Public markets 'discovered' the threat in January 2026, driving valuation compression while incumbents report headcount cuts and pricing uncertainty. The shift shortens competitive windows from years to months, forcing rapid product, pricing, and distribution changes.
