Vertical AI > SaaS
AI is reshaping costs by replacing software & labor.
Most companies spend far more on employees than software—AI is changing that.
Vertical AI agents will soon be replacing entire teams and functions.

3️⃣ UX Will Drive Infrastructure Choices
For years, infrastructure dictated the user experience in crypto. But that’s changing. Teams are starting with the user journey &working backward. With better tools startups can finally focus on product-market fit instead of obsessing over backend decisions.

2️⃣ The Rise of Crypto App Stores
New crypto-native app stores (like Worldcoin’s mini-app marketplace and Solana’s dApp Store) are bypassing traditional gatekeepers like Apple and Google. These platforms are rethinking discovery, onboarding, and user acquisition for decentralized apps.

1️⃣ ‘Hiding the Wires’ to Scale Adoption
Mass adoption requires simplicity. Over-designed interfaces and blockchain jargon have held the industry back. The apps that win will “hide the wires” — focusing on intuitive UX where users don’t need to understand the tech to benefit from it.

From governments exploring onchain bonds to enterprises adopting stablecoins for payments, and the obvious shifts in the US, but also the MiCA regulation in Europe.
One of the most exciting shifts I see?

Even as a brand strategist, I got it wrong. A humbling reminder: always know your audience. It was still a fantastic evening! Shoutout to Robin Dohmen for capturing this moment of myself and one of my co-founders Lynn Yara Coenen.

Luckily, the packed program gave me an out, and I stepped back. It reminded me of something an acquaintance of mine, Carl Dortmans once said:
“Being abroad for a long time can become a disadvantage—you adapt to a different culture.”

But here’s where I slipped up: cultural differences.
I prepped a pitch for our venture studio, UnknownVentures.io It was polished—for an American or Dubai audience. But not for the Dutch.
The Dutch are practical, humble, and value doing the work over shiny promises. My pitch wouldn’t have landed.

So here’s the takeaway: your big launch doesn’t have to be a one-time, all-or-nothing moment. Start small. Post a win. Celebrate a customer. Share what excites you. Every piece adds to the bigger story you're telling — and that’s what really matters.
