Products that once required millions of dollars, dozens of engineers, and years of development can now be built in days. But as building becomes easier, choosing what to build becomes much more important.\nVictor shares why R136 is increasingly focused on problems that remain difficult to solve, why he believes the greatest AI value will move from infrastructure to applications, and why the traditional app economy may eventually give way to fleets of intelligent agents.\nThe conversation also explores:\n• AI applications vs. infrastructure\n• The rise of AI agents and agentic commerce\n• Why the traditional app economy may be disappearing\n• How AI is transforming companies and productivity\n• The future of fintech and payments\n• Why people matter more in an AI-native world\nThis episode is brought to you by R136 Ventures, investing in ambitious companies building the next generation of technology.\n🌐 Learn more about R136 Ventures:\nhttps://www.r136.vc/\n💬 What do you think will create more value over the next decade: AI infrastructure or AI-native applications?\nTimecodes:\n00:00 - The AI-Native Future\n00:37 - A Different Episode\n02:07 - Victor’s Builder Mindset\n04:02 - Building Got 100x Easier\n06:03 - What Becomes Valuable\n07:17 - Late-Stage AI Founders\n11:34 - The AI Investment Boom\n13:05 - Infrastructure vs Applications\n19:36 - The End of Apps\n24:02 - Software With a Soul\n26:27 - A Future of AI Agents\n30:30 - The AI Adoption Gap\n33:01 - Reinventing Organizations\n37:04 - AI Inside R136\n43:54 - How AI Creates Value\n46:48 - Stop Chatting, Start...","thumbnail_url":"https://img.transistorcdn.com/YOcu0kLDdy3azJ6CHb-BvhoJZkdrQney5D7hlI1ejOA/rs:fill:0:0:1/w:400/h:400/q:60/mb:500000/aHR0cHM6Ly9pbWct/dXBsb2FkLXByb2R1/Y3Rpb24udHJhbnNp/c3Rvci5mbS8wYTBh/Y2QwMDRhYzI5NWQw/YzU2Njk2Y2U1MmMy/YTFmYy5qcGc.webp","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300}
