Venture capitalists at Precursor Ventures see AI agents as the next big shift in enterprise software and cybersecurity. They expect agents to handle increasingly complex tasks over the next five years, though they warn that some attractive markets won't actually work for startups.
It's like all enterprise software, but with the added twist of this new thing called agents that are not fully well understood. But I also feel like venture capital dollars tend to follow themes. And if you just say, well, enterprise and cybersecurity have been a good theme and AI is a new theme. What if we take was traditionally a good theme and marry it with this new theme? There ought to be space for new companies. And sometimes the answer is it's a good market, but just not a good market for startups. I'm very curious. I am quite confident in the next five years many organizations will use agents to do many things. Maybe today it's simple. TAS over time will become more complex tasks.
