Would you abandon a seven-figure AI business growing nearly 30% monthly?
Zac Choi, founder of Big Context and former McKinsey data-growth leader, did exactly that to pursue AI-native enterprise services.
In the latest Ignite Podcast episode with Brian Bell, they discuss:
Why Big Context paused Puller AI after roughly 15 to 16 months of nearly 30% monthly growth and rebuilt its business model.
Why enterprise AI agents fail when finance, sales, and marketing define the same metric differently.
Why Zac believes “data gravity” is actually context lock-in, not the difficulty of moving data.
How Open Pragmatics challenges proprietary context platforms by making enterprise AI standards open.
How automated context extraction can reduce BI migrations from months to days.
Why Zac considers net revenue retention a better measure of customer value than ARR.
“I think data gravity is an illusion.”
Would you sacrifice a fast-growing software business to pursue a services model with potentially stronger long-term differentiation?
