• bullish assessment Unattributed

  I think that a part of this story is just being able to share with people that we are incentive aligned. If you need this, we have it and you won't lose anything.

• neutral assessment Unattributed

  a lot of the businesses that we talk to actually go with our SaaS model because they just know and have the peace of mind if they need to switch.

• bullish assessment Unattributed

  we offer an on-prem offering. It's in fact, one of our most popular offerings, factory private.

• bullish assessment Eno Reyes

  What has happened is quite the opposite. Basically, model providers have even acknowledged that all of the continual learning happens at the harness layer. That learning is basically something that businesses are going to find very critical that they own, that they are the sovereign of.

• neutral fact_claim Eno Reyes

  something that I think at factory, we're trying to spend as much time as possible educating people about sort of what does well in the harness versus what can be done outside and how to think about like building versus buying a harness.

• bullish criticism Eno Reyes

  if you have a product that requires 100 FDEs to get it deployed, you just have a bad product.

• bullish assessment Eno Reyes

  Part of what makes it interesting to build right now is that a lot of what you're selling is not only the technology, but your knowledge about how to best use that technology... if you combine that with a product that then acts a little bit more as a platform or a system rather than a tool that people use, you can also get stickier by just being something that you build on top of.

• bullish prediction Eno Reyes

  I think of this as like a long game where eventually the self-service will come to us, but not because we subsidize, but because we have the best product in market.

• bullish assessment Eno Reyes

  we want to make sure that we are the product that best fits that type of experience. So that's why we're so optimized on local and on open models today for on-prem, but in the future, it's for all consumers.

• bullish prediction Eno Reyes

  I think it's open models. I think the most cost effective solution for a model is going to be the cheap one that you can run locally on your computer.

• bullish endorsement Harry Stebbings

  Factory is one of the leading companies that specialize in autonomous software development. I co-invested in their round with Sequoia.
