Scot and Matt revisit the predictions he made six months ago, look at what came true far faster than expected, and dig into the infrastructure challenges that still stand between us and frictionless agentic transactions. From SKU mapping and API-first checkout to the economics of feeds and the future of retailer traffic, this episode is a full-stack view of where Agentic Commerce stands at the end of 2025, and what’s coming in 2026. If you want more of Matt’s backstory and Commerce Ventures’ thesis, listen to Episode 4 ! It pairs perfectly with this deep dive. In this episode, they cover: Why VC predictions used to take 5–10 years to play out… and now take 5–10 weeks What Commerce Ventures is hearing from both startups and their LP base (top retailers + PSPs) Why ACP isn’t “the solution”—and what infrastructure still needs to be built The “API vs. fake-it-til-you-make-it” debate in agentic transactions How retailers should think about feeds, reviews, and blocking scrapers Why “AI magic on your own site” is step one for most brands Predictions for 2026: traffic shifts, wallet battles, Apple’s eventual entry, and more Where Matt thinks the industry is overly optimistic, and where the real upside is If this year taught us anything, it’s that the next six months will change more than the last six years. Stay tuned.
