I build software companies and talk about what happens next.
Most of my time goes into Runpoint. We replace rented business software with systems companies own. I speak about AI, the new economics of building, and the people figuring out how to use it without embarrassing themselves.

The Wild Economics of the SaaSpocalypse
What happens when owning software becomes cheaper than renting it?

Runpoint
Stop renting the way your business runs.
Runpoint is a small team of operators and engineers. We replace SaaS with software built around how a company actually works. The client owns the code, the data, and the roadmap.
