How to Take Software to Market in 2026 with Farza Majeed
You've shipped something. Maybe it's a rough demo, maybe a weekend hack that's getting more attention than you expected. But there's a brutal gap between "this works" and "people are actually paying for this" — and most builders never figure out how to cross it.
In this live session, Farza Majeed breaks down what it actually takes to take a piece of software to market in 2026. How to go from a side project to a real product people pay for. How distribution actually works now — why one good post can do more than a marketing budget, and how to build something people want to share. How to think about pricing when every agent action costs you real money, and why unit economics matter before you ever raise. What separates the builders who get traction from the ones who keep shipping features into the void. No theory, no startup platitudes — just a direct, tactical conversation with someone who's done it, fast, in public.
For context, Farza is the founder of HeyClicky — a voice-first, screen-aware AI assistant he built from a weekend project into a Y Combinator company in a matter of weeks, on the back of demos that pulled millions of views. Before that, he founded Buildspace, where he helped over 100,000 builders take their own ideas from zero, ran live programs that brought thousands together in person, and raised $10M from a16z. He's been making things — and shipping them in public — for over fifteen years. If anyone knows how to get a product off the ground and in front of people in 2026, it's him.
