YourStory Ecosystem

Building an MVP is easier than ever. Securing seed funding? Not necessarily.

At #TechSparks2026, Yoonmin Cho of Snowflake for Startups, Shashank Randev of 247VC, and Anvesh Ramineni of Endiya Partners discussed how AI is changing what investors expect from early-stage startups.

From founder vision and domain expertise to repeat users, customer retention, and defensible moats, the panel explored why a working product is no longer enough to secure the first institutional cheque.

What happens when AI agents take over the software development process?

At TechSparks 2026, Tushar Mathur, Founder and CEO of ForgeCode, demonstrated an AI-native software factory where agents work around the clock, managing everything from specifications and coding to testing and deployment.

He explained why faster code generation hasn't necessarily led to faster software delivery, how AI agents could help remove bottlenecks, and why engineers may need to shift from managing individual tasks to supervising outcomes.

Watch the video to see ForgeCode’s approach, the six principles behind its software factory, and what it could mean for engineering teams.
