Ventech partner Stephan Wirries joins Startuprad.io to explain why AI agents may force a structural reset in software. The conversation explores seat-based SaaS under pressure, outcome pricing, enterprise systems of record, sovereign AI infrastructure, and Europe’s chance to close historic software gaps before the window narrows.
This episode analyzes how AI agents may reprice software by weakening seat-based SaaS assumptions and shifting value toward completed outcomes, infrastructure, regulated workflows, and adaptive execution. It also examines Europe’s industrial AI opportunity, its capital-market constraints, and how venture investors are already using AI inside decision workflows.
