Kahlow: Startups should solve hard enterprise problems first, then move down-market
“I think hard problems are what, especially in today's world where anybody can build anything that we've got to solve the hard stuff first and then come down.”
Kahlow: Autonomous AI agents threaten incumbent SaaS engagement systems
“Similar to, like, the shift from SaaS to AI, you know, that is one of the key fundamental things that's going to challenge any incumbent SaaS company today. Systems of record moved to systems of engagement, like Sixth Sense, and now are moving to systems of ag…”
Kahlow returns to startups to build AI that replaces salespeople
“I had an idea of building these superhumans with AI that would replace salespeople and I had to take another swing.”
Kahlow: Humans Are Terrible at Go-to-Market and Hallucinate to Close Deals

Kahlow: VCs Are Far More Transparent With AI Clones Than Human Founders
“The way that this VCs would open up to Amanda AI versus open up to me. They would be much more transparent. I could tell right away from a few turns of interactions whether they're going to invest or whether they'd be interested.”

“And so I had a cohort of like 10 investors that well, they don't know who they are. I sent it to, and I never would have taken money from, but I just wanted to test it. It's like, how is this going to work? And then I, once it worked well, then I sent it to th…”
