When features are no longer a moat | Bryan Kim, ex-a16z | Founders Circle
In a world where AI makes shipping features instant, feature-parity is no longer a competitive advantage. So, what actually becomes your moat?
Bryan spent more than five years investing at a16z, working closely with breakout consumer and AI companies including ElevenLabs. He recently left to build his own fund, so he has seen both sides: what investors notice early and what founders do before the growth looks obvious.
What to expect:
what real momentum looks like in AI apps
how human emotions shape products people care about
what gives certain AI founders an edge
