Thirty-seven years later, the company operates across six countries, its software is used by more than two million developers, and its customers span the entire S&P 500—including Fidelity, Morgan Stanley, Exxon, Intuit, and Bank of America. But AI can now generate functional software in minutes. So what prevents a company like Infragistics from becoming obsolete?

We also talk about how he built a multi-8-figure company without outside capital, why he might raise money if he started again today, and what founders need to build once grit alone is no longer enough to scale.
