Software may be eating the world, but it’s also responsible for building it.
</p>
<p style="font-size: 15px; line-height: 140%; margin: 5px 0px 10px;">
The leading firm in that space is Autodesk, which has seen its market cap jump from
<strong>
~$14B to $65B
</strong>
over the past 5 years.
</p>
<p style="font-size: 15px; line-height: 140%; margin: 5px 0px 10px;">
Engineers use Autodesk’s software to build slightly important infrastructure such as water treatment facilities, railways, airports, commercial buildings, and highways.

Autodesk has become a market leader thanks to 2 big bets
</strong>
</h4>
<ul style="font-size: 16px; line-height: 20px; padding-bottom: 10px; padding-left: 12px; margin: 0;">
<li style="font-size: 15px; line-height: 140%; margin: 0 0 0 15px; padding: 0px;">
<strong>
A focus on higher education:
</strong>
Getting leading universities hooked on their certification
<a style="color: #d62829; text-decoration: none;">
program
</a>
has ensured that up-and-coming engineers use their products as early in their career as possible (also, it’s become a ubiquitous
<del>
LinkedIn profile padding
</del>
CV booster).
</li>
<li style="font-size: 15px; line-height: 140%; margin: 0 0 0 15px; padding: 0px;">
<strong>
A pivot to subscriptions:
</strong>
Making the transition from perpetual licenses to SaaS was a risky move that paid off -- offering customers more flexibility and
<a style="color: #d62829; text-decoration: none;">
boosting cash flows
</a>
.
</li>
</ul>
<h4 style="font-size: 17px; height: 100%; letter-spacing: 0px; line-height: 22px; padding-top: 8px; margin: 0px;">
<strong>
The benefits of these moves have compounded, thanks to natural virality
</strong>
</h4>
<p style="font-size: 15px; line-height: 140%; margin: 5px 0px 10px;">
Most construction projects require multiple partners that benefit from having a unified solution across all parties. That means if one contractor is using Autodesk, all of the partners follow suit.
</p>
<p style="font-size: 15px; line-height: 140%; margin: 5px 0px 10px;">
This dynamic has helped Autodesk grow organically and increase lock-in across their customer base.
</p>
<h4 style="font-size: 17px; height: 100%; letter-spacing: 0px; line-height: 22px; padding-top: 8px; margin: 0px;">
<strong>
Autodesk faces a long list of competitors
</strong>
</h4>
<p style="font-size: 15px; line-height: 140%; margin: 5px 0px 10px;">
As Netscape founder
<a style="color: #d62829; text-decoration: none; -webkit-text-fill-color: #d62829;">
Jim Barksdale
</a>
famously put it, “The only way to make money is bundling and unbundling.” While competitors go head-to-head against individual product lines, Autodesk is poised to offer a one-of-a-kind bundle going forward.
</p>
<p style="font-size: 15px; line-height: 140%; margin: 5px 0px 10px;">
As a leading creator in 3D animation and construction, Autodesk has the AR/VR chops to become a critical building block of the metaverse.
</p>
<p style="font-size: 15px; line-height: 140%; margin: 5px 0px 10px;">
Given the scrutiny that comes with more headlines, Autodesk is probably perfectly happy flying under the radar.

Here’s a stat that seems obvious but is still impressive: 2.8B+ people
<a style="color: #d62829; text-decoration: none; -webkit-text-fill-color: #d62829;">
use
</a>
messaging apps to chat.
</p>
<p style="font-size: 15px; line-height: 140%; margin: 5px 0px 10px;">
And now a lot of those people also use them to shop.

It’s called “
<a style="color: #d62829; text-decoration: none; -webkit-text-fill-color: #d62829;">
conversational commerce
</a>
” (AKA c-commerce) and,

<strong>
Conversational what now?
</strong>
</h4>
<p style="font-size: 15px; line-height: 140%; margin: 5px 0px 10px;">
In c-commerce, businesses use AI bots on platforms like China’s WeChat, Apple Business Chat, and Facebook Messenger to connect with customers.
</p>
<p style="font-size: 15px; line-height: 140%; margin: 5px 0px 10px;">
The bots help them browse and find products, book services, make purchases, and track delivery info. It’s fast, convenient, and works even if your internet is spotty.
</p>
<p style="font-size: 15px; line-height: 140%; margin: 5px 0px 10px;">
Example: In 2017, Lego launched
<a style="color: #d62829; text-decoration: none; -webkit-text-fill-color: #d62829;">

, a friendly bot that helped shoppers find the perfect gift for building-block enthusiasts.
</p>
<p style="font-size: 15px; line-height: 140%; margin: 5px 0px 10px;">
Other big brands including Ikea, Sephora, Walmart, and Coca-Cola are all aboard this train, too -- and it’s no wonder.

</em>
(that’s up from $2.8B in 2019).
</p>
<p style="font-size: 15px; line-height: 140%; margin: 5px 0px 10px;">
And supplying chat functionality is a growing business, too:
<a style="color: #d62829; text-decoration: none; -webkit-text-fill-color: #d62829;">
Yalo
</a>
has raised
<a style="color: #d62829; text-decoration: none; -webkit-text-fill-color: #d62829;">

<em>

</em>
with business accounts).
</p>
<p style="font-size: 15px; line-height: 140%; margin: 5px 0px 10px;">
What’s the best use of all this fancy AI? Chatbots that send you
