In a startup's early days, tech debt is inevitable. Your focus is on iteration and speed. That's okay. What's not okay is architecture that backs your software into a corner. Smart founders preserve optionality, avoiding situations where they get trapped by their own tech choices. If you have to patch together a solution (and you probably will), make sure it's abstracted from the user's core experience. This way, you can replace it later without major disruptions to your product. This principle becomes even more critical in the context of AI. Aaron Levie, co-founder and CEO of Box, urges startups to "nail [their] points of abstraction" when integrating AI capabilities. That way, they can incorporate the latest AI advances without needing to rebuild their entire product every few months. Our full conversation here: https://lnkd.in/gEAPFR-A

The real opportunity for startups lies in reimagining entire business processes in ways that incumbents can’t. We also cover: *Why riding tech tailwinds is the single most important thing a startup can do *How early architectural decisions can make or break your company *Why AI agents - not chatbots - enable truly disruptive innovation Our full conversation here: https://lnkd.in/gYMnZf5P
