I sat down with Scott Beechuk, Partner at Norwest Venture Partners, for a wide-ranging conversation on how AI, particularly agentic systems, is reshaping software and how venture is adapting to it. Before investing, Scott founded three companies and later served as an executive at Salesforce, giving him a rare operator-to-investor perspective on building and scaling technology businesses.

In this episode, we explored how Scott thinks about agentic systems in enterprise software, what’s changing in the VC landscape as AI accelerates product cycles, and how his background as a founder informs the way he partners with teams today. We also talked about what durable companies will look like in an era where software can increasingly act on its own.

If you’re interested in the future of AI-native software and how venture is adapting to it, this episode is packed with insight.
