Hustle Fund partner: vibe coding kills the $25k CRM, support is the real moat
dunkhippo33 · x · 2026-10-29
Hustle Fund partner dunkhippo33 argues we're entering the era of personalized software, where traditional software pricing collapses:
- Software premiums are dying: with vibe coding and agents getting so good, buyers can reverse-engineer a CRM themselves — the days of charging $25,000 for one are over (she cites a Mixergy video showing how to do it free).
- Agents fill the no-API gaps: 90% of Hustle Fund's operations run on agents; where no API exists, they just tell the agent to click through the web, which agents are already super good at.
- Support is the lasting business: given recent hacks and vulnerabilities, maintenance, security, uptime and optimization — "peace of mind" — have staying power.
- The open question: how much of that support work gets absorbed by product companies, consultancies, or in-house teams is where the budget will be.
