E446: Vista Equity President: The Death of SaaS? AI Agents and the $3 Trillion Opportunity

Vista's president says AI expands software's TAM by $3 trillion, favoring data-trusted incumbents over AI-native startups.

• $3 trillion new TAM: Breach cites BCG's estimate that agentic software can address $3T of the services market by turning software into a digital worker rather than just a workflow tool.
• Selloff was sentiment, not fundamentals: Breach says the February software stock selloff reflected fear of the unknown, not deteriorating metrics, and has largely recovered by October.
