If you started a company two years ago, many assumptions are no longer true

Two-year-old startups face extinction as AI captures 66% of VC funding, commoditizes data moats, and shifts software from feature licensing to outcome-based pricing.

Steve Blank warns that startups begun over two years ago likely have obsolete business models due to rapid market shifts. Key changes include VC's consolidation around AI (representing 2/3 of 2025 funding), commoditization of data via foundation models, AI agents replacing traditional software interfaces with outcome-based pricing, and a defense market for autonomy that grew from ~$0 to $20B/year in five years. Founders must reassess their technical stack, team structure, and business model or risk building products for markets that no longer exist.
