Dangerous AI Is Here. You Have Been Warned
April 10, 2026
For years AI doomers have preached that this technology would do more harm than good and this week we got a glimpse of the new world they're warning about.
Today we’re talking about if you can still sell to startups?
Yes — but it’s definitely more difficult now.
Here are the tactics to be successful if your product has startups as customers.
If a startup hasn’t announced a raise for 1.5 years or more — it’s likely that the budget for new products will be tight.
Regardless of difficult times, startups will always need certain services, e.g., email and hosting. If you can make your service as truly indispensable as those, tight budgets won’t matter as much.
If sales aren’t happening, don’t be afraid to try a different approach — perhaps focusing on a small niche of the market or doing custom work to close a customer.
Best of luck out there.
