Matt Van Horn, CEO of June, shared his experience building a research tool for just himself, which eventually garnered 57,000 GitHub stars. He argues that with the speed of modern development, the minimum viable market (MVM) for software has shrunk dramatically.
He also cited an example of an agent creating its own email account autonomously, leading him to invest in a business that serves such agents.
