March 2026 thesis · Sequoia, YC, a16z, Bessemer
Stop selling tools. Sell the finished work.
For every $1 companies spend on software, they spend $6 on services. The SaaS era captured the $1. Expert AI Labs is building the subsidiaries that capture the $6.
Replace the vendor
Not your colleague — the agency on retainer, the consultants on a project fee, the outsourced back office. That budget already exists. You redirect it.
Outcomes, not seats
Not accounting software — the closed books. Not support platforms — the resolved tickets. Not marketing tools — the launched campaign.
The playbook
Find work companies already outsource. Deliver it with AI doing 80%. Charge like a vendor — monthly retainer or per outcome — not like SaaS.
