Founder Insights on the New Era of Software as an Action

Founder Insights on the New Era of Software as an Action

In 2026, AI is no longer optional; companies and institutions must employ AI to stay relevant. Join Ray Shan, Carta’s VP of Product, as he speaks with a panel of cutting-edge founders, creating and refining VC-backed tools that disrupt, expedite, and democratize access to legal, accounting, and board-related services using AI.

The panel discusses aspects of their founder journeys – from ideation to VC engagement and go-to-market strategies. In addition, they will explore critical issues facing “the modern stack,” tools they can’t live without, and what agentic AI will mean for their products, interoperability, and future roadmaps.

The panel covers:

• From SaaS to SaaA: There is a revolution happening in the “Modern Stack" for Professional Services; it’s moving from Software as a Service to Software as an Action.

• AI as a Core Operating System: Founders explain how they've moved beyond generative chat to integrate Agentic AI—autonomous systems with minimal human oversight; these changes will make billable hours or the stressors of the “month end close” a relic of the past.

• Democratizing High-Stakes Services: New tools are leveling the playing field by providing early-stage startups with the same caliber of legal, accounting, and board-related sophistication previously reserved for Fortune 500 companies.

• Adaptability & Interoperability: In the constantly evolving AI landscape, founders need to know when to adapt, as well as when human expertise, oversight, and professional collaborations are vital.

Watch the recording today to learn from founders defining the SaaA era.
