  • Recall Sessions: Most SaaS Companies Won't Survive This - Jake Saper (Emergence)

    Recall Sessions: Most SaaS Companies Won't Survive This - Jake Saper (Emergence)
    2026/04/23
    Jake Saper is General Partner at Emergence Capital, the firm that was the first institutional investor in Zoom and an early backer of Salesforce, Veeva, Bill.com, and Together.ai. Jake has been at Emergence for over a decade and has led investments in Assembled, Unify, and Ironclad.

    Jake has developed Emergence's thesis on AI-native services: why he believes this is the most important structural shift in enterprise software since the move to the cloud, why most SaaS companies built before AI won't survive it, and what founders have to build instead.

    Somrat Niyogi sits down with Jake to unpack his thesis, the moats disappearing and rising, the risk Jake calls Mirage Product Market Fit, the three metrics every AINS founder should track, and where the biggest opportunities are playing out.

  • Recall Sessions: Building a $1.1B Category That Didn't Exist | Nick Mehta (Gainsight)

    Recall Sessions: Building a $1.1B Category That Didn't Exist | Nick Mehta (Gainsight)
    2026/04/09
    Nick Mehta is the former CEO of Gainsight, the platform that helps companies drive durable growth through customer-led and product-led strategies. Vista Equity Partners acquired Gainsight for $1.1 billion.

    Nick ran the company as CEO for 13 years before stepping into a board role last year. Nick has also co-authored four books on customer success, was named Entrepreneur of the Year for Northern California, and currently sits on the boards of F5 and PubMatic. Before Gainsight, he was CEO of LiveOffice, which he grew to $25 million in revenue and sold to Symantec.

    Somrat Niyogi and Nick cover how a meetup with cheap wine and a cheese tray on a ping pong table became the seed of a category, why community mattered more than product in the beginning, what it was like selling software into a role that barely existed, the Box deal that involved a music video parody and memorizing the lobby Wi-Fi password, what happened when Salesforce announced they were the "customer success platform," how to think about category creation vs. joining an existing one, and why Nick got on stage at Pulse coming off pneumonia to talk about being lonely as a kid.

    In loving memory of Summer Devi Mehta (2008–2026). Support The Trevor Project in Summer's honor: https://give.thetrevorproject.org/fundraiser/6961929

  • Worldbuilders: Building Digital Minds and Why Humans Still Matter | Dara Ladjevardian (Delphi)

    Worldbuilders: Building Digital Minds and Why Humans Still Matter | Dara Ladjevardian (Delphi)
    2026/04/03
    Dara Ladjevardian is the Co-Founder and CEO of Delphi, a platform that lets you create a digital version of your mind — an interactive, always-on presence that can share your knowledge, coach others, and represent you at scale.

    Delphi has raised $16 million in a Series A led by Sequoia, with earlier backing from Founders Fund, Lux Capital, and others. Before Delphi, Dara founded Friday, a text-based commerce tool he built and sold within a year. He previously worked as a forward-deployed engineer at C3 AI and as a product engineer at OpenStore.

    Sumeet Singh sits down with Dara to talk about the moment he knew he had to build Delphi, which started with trying to recreate his grandfather's mind using GPT-3. They cover why he chose LLMs over crypto and American dynamism, what it was like selling his first startup and joining OpenStore to find a mentor and co-founder, why human connection still matters when information is commoditized, how Delphi solved the trust problem that makes or breaks the entire platform, the micro-pivots that shaped the company, and what world Dara is trying to build.

    If you have any questions about Delphi, you can talk to Dara's digital mind here: delphi.ai/dara
