🧠 Key Takeaways
- Multi-agent reality check: once you run more than one agent, orchestration (handoffs, permissions, failure modes, monitoring) becomes the product — not the demo.
- Market reset framing: the SaaS market in 2026 looks like a “reset” (multiples + scrutiny + AI moat shifts), so operators who tighten fundamentals can still win (esp. around retention, efficiency, and positioning).
- Investor/legal hygiene: liquidation preferences matter, but founders can often avoid bad outcomes by understanding scenarios, negotiating specifics, and planning exit math earlier.
