If You’re Not Using AI in Dev, You’re Already Behind

AI is now a standard part of software development—at least for Aperiam’s portfolio. Every single company we surveyed is already using it. But only 9% have formal policies in place.

In our latest Aperiam Podcast, Joe Zawadzki and Corey Ferengul dive into what that tells us—and what it doesn’t. They cover:

The real impact of AI on developer productivity
Why vibe coding is more than a trend
How tools like Cursor are reshaping prototyping
The rise of agents as business infrastructure
And why some execs are treating AI like 100 enthusiastic ninth graders

They also dig into what’s next: the governance gap, the changing role of the executive, and whether 2025-born companies are structurally advantaged in an AI-native world.

Listen and let us know: How are you rolling out AI in your company? Are you a player-coach or still watching from the sideline?
