Past bets that played out
Notable call: coverage of OpenAI’s Instant Checkout launch with Etsy and Shopify and the open-sourced Agentic Commerce Protocol (built with Stripe). Thesis: this creates a new AI-driven shopping/checkout funnel that could drive incremental GMV and merchant adoption for Etsy/Shopify while pressuring traditional discovery and checkout channels.
OpenAI announces “Instant Checkout” inside ChatGPT in partnership with Etsy and Shopify, and open-sources an “Agentic Commerce Protocol” built with Stripe. The headline implication is potential incremental GMV/merchant adoption for Etsy/Shopify via a new AI-driven shopping/checkout funnel, while increasing competitive pressure on other commerce discovery/checkout paths (traditional search ads, marketplaces, and some payment/checkout providers).
