How AI changes building software startups

If AI can increasingly write the code, what is left for the engineer, and what does that mean for founders?


Paul Mueller, EWOR Partner and co-founder of Adjust ($1.2bn exit) will challenge some of today’s assumptions around vibe coding, copilots and software architecture, and lay out his view of how serious software companies will actually be built in an agentic world. Expect a practical, opinionated look at what changes when code itself becomes abundant.
