I recently found myself in a room full of SaaS founders discussing the risks that generative AI (GenAI) poses for their companies.

Capillary Will Not Give Up

As Capillary turns 15, I am reminded of a story from my childhood. This story is over 2,000 years old but it resonates with me every day. When the water in the pond began to diminish, the frogs that lived in it had two choices. Stay in familiar waters and wait for the rain, or […]
