Summary
In this 20VC newsletter episode, Harry Stebbings interviews Base44 founder Maor Shlomo, who argues that traditional SaaS will fade as "vibe coding" enables companies to own their tools and data, and highlights Google as the real competitive threat while emphasizing defensibility through vertical integrations. Later, GP Rory O’Driscoll and SaaStr founder Jason Lemkin discuss what signals a company is in "war mode," valuation mechanics for fast‑growing firms like Sierra, and caution against AI products that demand credit‑card info upfront. The episode underscores the shift away from Silicon Valley dependence, the importance of enterprise adoption limits, and the need to push high‑performing teams while supporting them.
