The New Market for Vertical Software

AI is collapsing the cost of building specialized software, making it viable for the first time to build deep, industry-specific tools for markets that were too small to serve before. This episode explores why vertical software — built for a single industry or workflow — is becoming the high-value play of the AI era. The conversation examines what this means for builders, for incumbents, and for industries that have been underserved by generic horizontal platforms.
