ABOUT THIS EDITION

A new category is emerging: AI-Native Services

AI is not just optimizing services, it is redefining how services are designed, delivered, and scaled across industries. The next generation of startups will no longer look like SaaS companies; they will be AI-native services built around autonomous execution, continuous learning, and end-to-end value delivery.

The next wave of technology companies will no longer be defined by software as a tool, but by software as execution. We are entering a phase where software does not just enable work, but directly performs it end-to-end. This shift is taking place in a context where the global outsourcing market already exceeds $1T+, growing at ~6–8% annually, while AI services are emerging as a new multi-hundred-billion-dollar opportunity over the next 5 years. At the same time, 70–80% of companies are already using AI in at least one business function, signaling that adoption has moved from experimentation to structural transformation.

This transition unlocks the reconfiguration of trillion-dollar, labor-intensive markets such as finance operations, legal, IT, and customer support, where AI is already demonstrating the ability to reduce costs by up to 50% in specific functions and automate more than 50% of support tickets in certain use cases. For founders, this is not about building better software tools, but about redesigning entire categories under an “outcomes-as-a-service” paradigm, where value shifts from providing access to tools to delivering the final outcome directly. This shift, however, only becomes possible when deep domain operators in these services converge with a new generation of AI-native talent.
